My favorite place is a dormitory. The dormitory is my second home. I entered the dormitory last year. When I came here for the first time, I felt lonely. Because I didn’t have any acquaintance and anxiety filled my heart. But on the night, I made friends with Asaki. She lived next door to me. I also made friends with Wakana, Kaori, Minami and so on. Their college differs from me. But I was glad to made friends with them. Thanks to my friends, my dormitory life became really fun. But to be honest, I sometime feel lonely. When I am awfully tired, I want to return to my home. But I think that dormitory has some advantages. The dormitory is quite comfortable to live in so I like it very much. Downtown is near to the dormitory, so I often go shopping with my friend on the weekend. We also go there on foot. The dormitory has curfew. Doors are closed at 11 p.m. So we must get back before the curfew. I think that the time is not time to close the gate. But there are some good points. So I will introduce about them.

So it is very convenient.

Next, I like my room very much because the room is furnished. For example, a desk, a chair, prefabricated bath, bed and a luggage rack. When I entered the dormitory, I bought a small refrigerator because it especially is necessity to cool a drink. I also bought CD component. I always listen to music on it. I like Japanese pop. For example, HY, Every Little Thing, May’s, Hamasaki Ayumi, Tiara, Funky Monkey Babys and so on. I like really listening to music, so I like the time the best. Desk and luggage rack is big. It is convenient. But to be honest, I have a space which I don’t like. It is prefabricated bath. I like to relax in a bath. But I couldn’t it, because the space is small. So I want to return home at times. But I like my room besides it and so comfortable room.

Finally, I spend free time watching TV in the saloon. There are some newspapers and books. Also there is a sofa and desk. I sit on the sofa and I always watch a TV with my friends. Especially, we watch a variety program. I feel more interesting by watching with my friends. I sometime do my homework there. Before I have examination, I study for the test with my friends. I can see my friends easily so I am happy. Like this, I am enjoying free time in the room.
