The first skills post!

Hi~
This post is my first skills post. Skills post means; The post that educational(especially, about GLPS writing class.).

Two days ago, our class desided to attend to attend one of the summer camp listed below.

1. Camp Big Apple 2. Ranch West Camp 3. Head Start Splash

Well, explanation about the camp are too long so I won't going to write them.
I'll just organize about the each camps' advantage and weakness.

Camp Big Appple(CBA)
Advantage: It is three week camp, therefore we won't get homesicks. And we can also prepare fore the important English languge test like the SAT. We can trust teachers 'cause they are in Masters digrees(least). We can meet other students arround the world, too. This CBA's activities are unique. We cannot do them in Korea.
Weakness: It's too short. So maybe we can't learn English very well.

The Ranch West Camp(RWC)
Advantage: It isn't too short or too long. It will be fun ecouse the RWC believes students will learn English best when they are doing something that interests them. And we can study with more interests, 'cause we can choose subjests. And we can experience their culture from homestaying.
Weakness: Activities are too common and it can be little dangerous. (Hiking, Horseback riding, River rafting, Mountain biking, Canoeing.)

Head Start Splash(HSS)
Advantage: Family came with students. And they live in a small apartment near the beach, so the atmosphere will be great! And its long- so we can learn English more better.
Weakness: It's TOO long-five week! And it's too expensive.

Well, I choosed the CBA. And many students in our class thought so, too. Therfore, the CBA was choosed. We also learned about the compare and contrast. We must do these when we decides something. When you compares things, it's mean you consider them and discover the differences similarities beetween them. And when you say contrast something, it's to show that you are mentioning a very different situation from the one you have just mentioned.

Oh and these are the bonus-
