Essay06: Group essay

We are studying English language at kumamoto Gakuen University. So today we will tell you about our school. First of all, KGU has 12 departments; commercial science, business administration, hospitality management, economics, international economics, English language, east Asia, social welfare, child home welfare, welfare environment. And there are about 7000 students and many great professors in our university. We are English language students. The student of the English and American Section often uses the 4th, 11th, 12th and 14th pavilion. The teacher of English and American Section has a lot of gentle people. We are a English and American major; there are many professors who help us to improve learning languages. We often have to do assignments; professors correct all assignments each time. The number is too much but they always check those. We are happy supported by many people.
Also we have about 100 circles in this school!! Every circle is so active and uproarious we think. It divides into four kinds. There is Circle union, Culture, Physical education and Student society. When we are in the season for school festival, you can really enjoy with your circle members if you belong to. And you can enjoy drinking a lot. Actually KGU is famous for drinking a lot. Also, we have many events new student welcome party, Sports festival, City parade, Graduation party and Club activity. We can enjoy all year. The preparation for the city parade starts soon. We return summer vacation and prepare it every day. City parade is each circle walks in the town making the portable shrine and clothes. It has aimed at the advertisement of the campus festival. We look forward to city parade! and in October, we hold a school festival. This school's festival is so large scale and really wonderful. it is held by just only student's ideas and students hands. So every circles have each booth stalls and sell each their own delicious food. And many people come to our festival and enjoy with. And the last day's night we hold "kouyasai" it is held for be thankful to have escaped without harm. We watch many festival's pictures in a big screen at the school ground and with fireworks. And shower the hell of beer!!!
And there are many convenient facilities in KGU. For example, there are library, green campus, e-campus and anything. We can use all fixtures to study and to spend good time. These are very convenient for us. I often use these facilities to spend good campus life so I introduce about facility and my favorite place in KGU. I introduce about library. Library is my favorite place in KGU because it is very comfortable and convenient. There are many books, computer, private room, AV corner and anything. I often use private room because it is only my room and there is a computer. It is very good because I use often computer to write report and to renew my English blog. I recommend to you to use private room. Any other, AV corner is also good. We can watch many movies and listen to music. There are much kind of movie and music. I use there when I have free time. I also recommend to you. This time, I introduced about library and green campus but other facilities are also very convenient for us. I need to thanks to KGU and I must keep basic role. Not to throw away garbage and to keep smoking place and anything. we have to spend our school life as we keep these rule.

The buildings with scarlet bricks are symbol of KGU. These are really beautiful and unique. We have a convenience store ”LOWSON” and a bakery and a cafeteria. A lot of people are using them at lunch time so you can have many kinds of meals in this school. And our library is so comfortable. There are many books in the library. There are not only books but also DVD, CD, world newspaper and PC. We can use the computer at there whenever you need to use and we can watch many kinds of DVD, listen to music, read some country’s newspaper and study silently. If you want to study alone, you are able to use private room. Everyone tend to think we must not talk in library but KGU’s library is different. There are two rooms in each floor called “Study Room” we often use that room when we want to study over chat. So we often go to the library to enjoy.
As for convenience service, green campus center is very useful. The staff support student's campus life for example tell them some good real estates, help to procedure driving school and help to apply to insurance. International exchange center help us if we want to study abroad; we can get materials, stuff guide you.
by the way KGU students are very fashionable we think. Every students wear very pretty clothes and girls are cute, boys are handsome. Sometimes, people say KGU students are “charai” because of their looks or their loud clothes. “charai” means kind like frivolous. And in fact, we bet every student will happen something special, particularly romantic relationships. If you thought that KGU students are like grim, that’s not true. we think every student have warm feeling in their hearts. And they are very kind to everyone, cheerful and honestly. They are leading parts in this college. And our college's slogan is "renaissance of Kumamoto Gakuen University."
As you can see, KGU is wonderful college. we have great professors and we are supported by many people and many useful systems in there like library, some food areas, e-campus center and green campus center. And we can enjoy all year in the circle activity like school festival, stort festival and drinking a lot. And we are really enjoy and feeling like full in our college and we are studying with our friend and professors delightfully. And we welcome you whenever so if you enter this school you can enjoy school life very much we bet!!!!
