pronounce test

Today I took test about pronounce. The test is education's class. There are eleven sentences. The sentences are
When a student from another country to study in the United States, he has to find the answers to many questions, and he has many problems to think about. Where should he live? Would it be better if he looked for a private room off campus or if he stayed in a dormitory? Should he spend all of his time just studying? Shouldn't he try to take advantage of the many social and cultural activities which are offered? At first it is not easy for him to be casual in dress, informal in manner, and confident in speech. Little by little he learns to what kind of clothing is usually worn to be casually dressed for classes. He also learns to choose the language and customs which are appropriate for informal situations. Finally he begins to feel sure of himself. But let me tell you, my friend, this long-awaited feeling doesn't develop suddenly - does it?
The teacher told me about "take advantage of the many social" and "sure of". He said, these words are connected. It's hard for me to chadnge my pronounce!

Essays 2-03b: University life

Now I enjoy my school life. I go to school by train. I hang out with friends all the time. I stay at my friend’s house. We drink there all night! We talk about many things. I have friends who are exchange students. However, I have a lot of assignments, so to do them all, takes a lot of time. These experiences are very important things. There are many precious things at school life. I like my university life! Next, I'll talk about my university life.

First, I entered KGU 2 years ago. When I was a fresh man, I didn't know what should I do first. The first things what I needed was to make my timetable. I couldn't understand the credit's system. I confused to take classes and about credits. I consulted to my friends or senior students about it. So I could solve many problems.
If there were no friends around me, I couldn't do anything. I don't know that how many credits do I have. But there are no problems. Now I know many things thanks for my friends and senior students.

Second, I'll introduce about after 2 years from now. After 2 years from now, I'll be 22 years old. I need to start job hunting. Now, third and fourth grade students do job hunting. I ask about it from my senior students. They tell about it and they say. It's hard things. I worry about my job hunting. Maybe I will start job hunting after 2 years from now. Perhaps I will pass the test. I hope so that. But today's Japan's circumstance is so bad. To hunt jobs is very busy for many students. I worry about my job-hunting life.

Third, I'll introduce about my university life 25 years from now. After 25 years from now, I will be 45 years old. Maybe, I will graduate KGU the time. I think KGU's system will be changed. For example, there are many i-pad. Students use it without blackboard. It answers the purpose of blackboards. It also helps teachers. University lends it for students. If we can use i-pad for classes, we can spend university life with convenience. Many university will be changed about the systems the time.

In addition, I may have gotten married with someone. Perhaps, I will be single yet. If get married, I will have wife and children. My wife will be beautiful. She is my proud. Her cooking is so good. I eat her delicious dishes everyday. So I gain weight since getting married. My son likes baseball. We often play a catch during holiday.
I have job and my house. Now I don't realize my dream in the future, but I'll find my dream the time. I spend good time with my family and nice job.

As you can see, I enjoy my university school life. I have very happy time when I'm with my friends. I get used to spend university life more than before. Then, I'll start job-hunting after 2 years from now. After 25 years from now, KGU's system will be changed. I'm looking forward to the changing. In addition, I want to get married the time. These days, I don't drink and hang out with my friends. So I want to do that. I also spend precious time at school. Now I have many assignments. When I graduate from university, I don't need to do assignments. So I achieve many assignments. I will graduate from this university, I don't have much times. I'm going to use limited times as precious.
