Building2, 2nd Floor



This article will introduce our school, especially Building2. There are lounge on 2nd floor building2 that students and teachers can hang out, and there are always many people chatting, hanging out, or studying all the time. We have unique system which is called LEAP and English Lounge which is nice system for students to learn English. Especially for freshmen, they must go to English lounge to practice speaking English with native English speaker teacher. I will research about the number of teachers and students related to LEAP and English ounge.

There were 11 teachers who have worked on English Lounge. With my department “SLC(Study of Language Communication)” was established 8 years ago, English Lounge was created. 4 teachers worked English Lounge full-time part, but 7 teachers worked as part-time. These teachers are always kind and friendly, so they are easy for students to talk even in English. They are always popular people, and students speak to them besides English Lounge.
You have to reserve each time if you want to join the English Lounge. There are 8 sessions a day, and 4 spots each times this semester. It was difficult to find out the number of the students who have used LEAP and English Lounge until now. However, I counted this week’s students list.  There were already more than 120 students this week! That’s great. They are good students. In the opposite, you do not have to reserve for the LEAP. Unfortunately, teacher do not appears LEAP all the time because they have office hours for the LEAP. Students can talk or ask him their questions between his office hours. Also you can rend a English book to read it and solve some questions about the article.


As I mentioned before, the LEAP and English Lounge are in the lounge building 2, 2nd floor.  There are always some international students or foreign teachers. I thought I would research and show how many foreigners (including teachers and students) can we find a day? However I couldn’t stay in the lounge all day. Therefore I counted the number of them after-school hours. The number of people depends on each time, but at least there are 3~5 foreigners. At one time there are more than 20 foreigners. It is fun to become friends with them. We can help our homework each other or just talking is also nice! You should go to there and go hang out with them!


In conclusion, the 2nd floor, building 2 is the place that students can study and enjoy with their friends. 11 teachers have worked for the English Lounge until now, and more than 120 students use it every week. Also you can go to the LEAP to lend a book and get some efficient advice from your teachers. Additionally, when you go to the lounge, you would make friends with international students or native speaker teachers. What a nice place the Lounge is!
