Talking Session with students from prestigious universities

 On November 3rd, graduates who went on to prestigious universities were invited to make a presentation about the attractions of learning in prestigious universities.  They talked vividly about university life and what they wanted to tell to senior high school students.  At the same time, they showed us how to make an attractive presentation. 

For the first-year students, it seemed useful when they choose a humanity class or a science class, and made them imagine life after the entrance to universities.  After school, the round-table talk with the graduates took place.  In the homey atmosphere, it was impressive that participants continuously asked questions.  It was also a good chance to improve the skill to deepen a discussion by asking questions. 

[the participants’ comments]
*I sometimes become uneasy because I don’t know the meaning of study but I decided to study hard after hearing the phrase “Study is a key to open a door for the future”. My dream needs a lot of effort, so I want to learn what I don’t know.

*Where and how I enjoy college life depends on how hard I can study now.  I am glad I could listen to the speech of medical school students. 

*I feel like I have to study harder to increase the number of choices in my life and get the key to open the door.  I don’t want to study just to get knowledge and remember things.  I want to study actively.

*Through this presentation from the graduates, what I learned first is that courses and universities are much more varied than I thought.  If I choose a university and a faculty without thinking, I may go to a world which doesn’t relate to my goal.  I realized again that thinking about the future from now is not too hasty.

*I admired the university students because I heard they are enjoying college life and studying.  I realized I have to think about my course early.
