Jackie : I will tell you the general route. We will start at Room 207 , go straight in this way (point ing to the Administrator Building ), then we will turn to the center of the Common Lecture B uilding on left. There will be Room 208 which is the TV classroom in our school. Then we will go downstairs and walk towards the Administrator Building . That is the main offices in our school. By the ramp we will come back to the second floor again to this side of the long red bridge . We will pass the bridge and go towards the Intercommunication Center which locates in another side of the campus. Then we will continue to go to the Students Union Building which including the shop, restaurant and the rest area. You can also find the club rooms there. Walking through the corridor (hallway) , we will enter the Information Center . That will be the main spot in our tour.

By the way, on our tour we won't enter the other three buildings which are Economics Building , Nursing Building and the Biology Building , because there are only offices, classrooms or labs. But I will give you some brief introductions when we pass them or where we can see them clearly.

and it has the optical fiber cable net connected with the FuKui and Obama campus. After that we will go to the end of our tour and return to Room 207.

Jackie : We go upstairs and Yumiko : After we leave the Center, we will walk into the Common Lecture Building , walking towards the Economics Building . We will stand in the center of the three buildings; those are the Economics, the Biology and the Common Lecture building. That will be the second spot on our tour because on that grass we can see the three building and if we walk a lit bit far we will find the nurse building.

Jackie : After that we will enter the Common Lecture Building again. This time we will go to the Room 208. That is the TV classroom in our school and it has the optical fiber cable net connected with the FuKui and Obama campus. After that we will go to the end of our tour and return to Room 207.

Yumiko : Ok, have you any questions? Then let's start!

 

Phase 2: Body of The Tour

Jackie : OK, let's start. This way please. Far on our front, it is the Administrator Building , and you can see the red bridge crossing the pools and main enter of the campus. When I first see the introduction of my school, I was impressed very much by this bridge, I think it is quite modern design and I guess the university must invite a famous architect to build our campus.

Introduction of the Common Lecture Building .

Room 208

(We will arrive at the hall at the end of the lecture building, and go upstairs and go toward big lecture room.) This room is one of the specific rooms. This room has big screen and the TV, in addition, installed the high-speed network connected the Fukui and Obama campus, like LAN. So we can see each situation in the class on the screen and speak each other through the mike. Both campuses' students in Obama and Fukui can have same lessons at the same time, using that equipment. It's very useful.

Let's go downloads and pass the rest area, we will go out to the Administrator Building .

Yumiko : The two-floor management office is the heart of the school, where located the top manager of the school. (The schoolmaster's house is on the second floor.) Everyday, the officers are busy doing with the sundry duties such like the lecture and classroom changes, the club activities and so on.

Jackie : Beside the open office on the first floor, there are three large boards which take important effects to every student and teacher. After class, you will often see that many students round the boards to see whether there is any change of their lectures. If certain professor wants to call some students, they can also post a note here as it had already been a habit that everybody will come here at least one time everyday. You can also look for much information of accession, oversea studying, international communications, and more that help you enlarge your vision. As I am an oversea student, I can pick up the Chinese newspaper there freely, form which I can know many hotspot of my country.

Okay, let's go upstairs and cross the red bridge. You see, it is a long bridge. On your left you can see the main entrance of the campus. Far away it is the Matsuoka Chou, that road is the 8 th Nation Road . And even you can see the Loson shop there. On your right, it is the center of the campus and you can see many pools connected together. Well, in my imagine Japanese very like put water into their design 思维， just like spring, small river which across their building. So the school is, but I suggest you not walking through on that way after the sunset as it is a lit bit dangerous at night, especially on winter, covered with thick snow.

Ok, now we entered the Community Canter. It is a three-floor building. (Although now we can just see two floors.) The big room on the first floor can contain about 700 people and in it university often holds annul conferences such like the commencement. Every year, when the new year of school begins, all freshmen will take part the new-year-ceremonial to begin their four-year study. On the University-homepage's introduction, this center is intended to promote public access to the University and international exchange. Various activities are offered including extension lectures, meetings of academic societies, speeches and symposia. Several months ago, the NHK bass music philharmonic played a successful performance there and many people from the nearby provinces had taken part in it.

Let's turn right here. After we pass this road, we will enter the Students Clubs Building . (When we pass the crossing, we can see the gym's door) Now please look at this way, that door is the entrance of gym. On the second floor the cilloin of university and the Students Union. Look down here, it is the rest area in front of the shop and restaurant. Everyday noon , lots of students sit here and have a rest. In fact, the area below us is a shop, which sells books, food and others. It is really a helpful shop as almost all students book new 教材 here. Let's go on.

We will go to the most peaceful place in school—the Information Center . This way please. (Walking through the corridor)

Yumiko : Especially we want to emphasize we can go these faculties without passing outside, that is, these building are connected with one hall on the second floor. Not only these faculties, but also all of the buildings in the university are connected. So if it snows a lot or rainy day, we don 't need the umbrella and can go every room comfortably. As me, I don't use it so much because it sometimes takes l ong time than cross the field.

Jackie : (At the corner of the library.) Now, we can see the library here. If it is on weekdays, when you pass by, you will see the students busy studying here. The second floor has more book shelf than the first one, and come here you can see the video teaching corner. When I first came here, I was attracted by the corner as I can see soooo many movies here!! So I like it very much, I guess you can find me here if I am free.

Yumiko : Let go on. Well, now we can see the big hall of the Information Center from our right side. In from of us, we will take a look at the computer rooms. (Walk towards the room, open the door) Ok, this is one of the school's computer rooms, as we can see; it has about 60 computers which are connected by the hi-speed network. The University had just updated the hardware (P3 800) and the software (Windows 2000 professional) last year. So we can say that it is ahead of time . The speed of the Internet here is much higher than the ADSL which is now very popular; students here can search the necessary information expediently.

Jackie : Okay, we will go downstairs. … Now we are standing in front of the library. In front of the door, the newspaper corner provides us every day's newspaper in different languages, such like ‘THE TIMES', ‘Asahi Sinbun' and so on. Although today we cannot enter the library, form the door we can have a look of the inside of it. This library is updated every month, many new books are bought by school, and student who cannot find the needed book or video can book them at the office. You can see that in the first floor half of it located the seats for readers, and the most inside is the dictionary shelf. I found it very useful because I can find Chinese, English Japanese and other dictionaries in many languages.

Yumiko : The equipments in or out of the library is very self-contained. You can copy any pages in it, also containing the video and tapes. The computer searching system help you to find the book you want as fast as possible, if you cannot remember the number, just print it out!

Jackie : Well, everybody please look at this way. The large building behind the shop is the school gym. Well, as we see, it has a very special outside. In my opinion, it has the most modern design in all buildings in my school. In it, we often have physical trainings like basketball, volleyball, handball and tennis. It is a multifunctional gym and you can do some exercises every daytime. On the aisle on second floor, school prepared a series of training machines for students. And we can freely use them or other balls in the gym. On the top of the gym, all the windows and curtains can be closed opened automatically. Even if it is in winner, the temperature inside is also suitable for exercising. The same as many gyms, it has the bath rooms, change rooms. But what is different is that Jyudo classroom is also located in it. I think only in Japan it is common that a gym contains a Jyudo classroom. Isn't it?

Yumiko : Okay, let's go on, enter that shop. (Because it is so cold that day) (Enter the building)We will just pause for a moment. On that side (point to east), there are the shop, cash machines and the rest corner. And on this side (turn around) it is the restaurant . Every noon , it is the most cheerful place in the school.

Jackie : Ok, let's go upstairs here.

Jackie : (Walking toward the Faculty of Economics and crossing the road in the grass,) Next, we'd like to introduce each major, Economics, Biology, and Nursing building. You can see the Faculty of Biology on your left side. This structure contains professor's rooms and many laboratories, having many types of the newest equipment for research. Lately many forth grade students are researching for their final paper lately using many types of equipment until night. And you can see the tallest building in this university over there.

Yukomi : That is the Faculty of Economics. Can you see the mark at the top of the building? That's our school symbol. It was drawn a bird, called 'stugumi' and tree which shows power and courage. There are many proffers rooms on economics and liberal arts over third floor, and we usually use first and second floor for our seminal of economics every week. One of our school's characteristics is that we can have a chance to study in small groups, like seminal, when we are the freshman. For that, we also use these rooms. For that we are able to be familiar with members and teachers. We have economics' computer rooms where we can use 24hours!! Students can use computer and access the internets whenever we want to though we need student ID to enter the room.

Jackie : Could you see the building behind the faculty of Economics? That is Faculty of Nursing and Welfare. This faculty founded in1999. Before that, The faculty was junior college. There are five floors and contains teacher's rooms lecture rooms and training rooms, having up-to-date equipments.

Yukomi :

Jackie : (Passing the hall and stop to look at the rest space.) Many students often use this space, as there are many lecture rooms around here; it's convenient to wait friends, seeing the boards. You can feel expansive. There is variety of lecture rooms around here. The capacity is from 60 to 300.

(Passing the hall)

Yukomi : You'll see the Central office on your left side. It has main information board. Almost everyday we have to check the main board to get the information about lecture and other news there.

And we're going to straight, and it is room 207!! We introduced you almost my university. Do you have any questions?

 

Phase 3: Conclusion

•  We start at the first floor under the room 207, and go south to walk a cross the grass to the middle of school.

While we are crossing the grass; we will introduce the building s in turn:

•  The management office

•  The communication center;

•  The gym

•  After we enter the Student Hall, we will give a brief introdu ction of shop and the rest area . Then we have two choices to continue.

We will go upstairs and forward to the Information Center by crossing the corridor. At that time we will introduce that the corridor connects the entire second floor.

•  The first spot that we choose is the Information Center .

On the second floor we will pass by the second floor of the library and we can see the students working in it through the big glass windows. Then we will open the computer rooms' door and let them have a look of the equipments and give them a brief introduce of the high-speed network in the school.

Then we go downstairs and stop in front of the library. We can see some boards and the place to read every day's newspapers and the rest seats.

(We haven't decide whether go into the library nor not.)

The detailed introduce about the Information Center begin.

(Some information of this building including the software and the hardware.)

•  We get out of the building and enter the Common Teaching Building at once. Turn left at the first corner and walk towards to the Economics Building . We will not walk through the pass, but walk to the garden, which located among the middle of the Economics, Biology and the Common Teaching Building . We will pause under the large tree and introduce the three building around us. After we walk along the grass we will find the Norse Department Building and we will just say little word about it.

•  Now we again enter the Common Teaching Building and we shall go upstairs at once as we will go pass the room 208――the TV room in which installed the high-speed network connect the FuKui and Obama campus. By using this room, we can have lessons at the same time, the same teacher but in different place.

•  Walking across the lobby of the building where located the rest corner for the students.

•  Go back to the room 207

We have walked around the cause and it took us 20 minutes without long pauses. So we guess it may take us 40 or 50 minutes to finish all introduce.

Thank you again for joining us, everybody!

We will go out of the Common Lecture Building , and pass through the grass. (A lit bit cold, isn't it?) Ok, we will pause here, under the big tree. Now from here we can see the Management Office, Communication Center and the gym and there is the Information Center . We will first introduce the first three buildings.
