Would you please correct my English? I have to write a description of a new product of the store in my university. I'm not confident that I chose right words. Anyone would correct it? Here the “Kyodai (Kyoto University)” handkerchiefs are newly put on sale! Cute figures associated with Kyodai are embroidered on them: the symbolic clock tower, a unique student, etc. Will be a good souvenir for the students’ family or the students studying to enter Kyoto University. Selections: The clock tower / The camphor tree Gorilla(The incumbent president of Kyoto University is the leading researcher on gorillas. ) / Mt. Daimonji Ika-kyo (a “typical” kyodai student look) / the Fibonacci sequence (The clock tower and the camphor tree in front of the main gate are the symbol of my university.)

Hello! I suggest these changes, but overall it was very good! Well done. :) ### The “Kyodai (Kyoto University)” handkerchiefs have recently been put on sale! Cute figures associated with Kyodai are embroidered on them, such as the symbolic clock tower, a unique student, etc. This would be a good souvenir for a student's family or the students studying to enter Kyoto University.* The selections are: The clock tower / the camphor tree** A gorilla (The incumbent president of Kyoto University is the leading researcher on gorillas) / Mt. Daimonji Ika-kyo (a “typical” kyodai student look) / the Fibonacci sequence (The clock tower and the camphor tree in front of the main gate are the symbol of my university.) ### *There's nothing wrong with this sentence, especially in conversation. However, in writing it can bit a bit confusing to read 'students' and 'study' repeated so many times within a sentence. You could refer to the second group of students as 'high school students' or change the second 'studying' to 'practicing for exams to enter Kyoto University.' **Does the / mean that there is a different design on each side of a hankerchief? It sounds very pretty. :)
