The Last Skill Post.

 We are now in the vacation, so we decided to go to the English camp. And I choose the Ranch West camp instead of camp Big Apple, because there are better things in Ranch West Camp than camp Big Apple.

 The camp Big Apple is and intensive program. They make us study for the hard tests, such as SAT. We will have to memorize the vocabulary, and have many homeworks. And, this can lead to the students' stresses. Because of this, the students' score will decrease oppositely what the camp wants to do. However, the Ranch West camp gives free to children. They give the decision to studying subject to students and children can choose one subject that they want. There is no force. They will be more satisfied with the study. So, although the camp is not intensive program for test, the students will have confidence of subjects they like. Also, there are boring activities such as going to the museum, and touring the city. We love to play in the weekends, not walking aroud the cities. The Ranch West camp think about us more. They give fun activities, we do sports, such as hiking and canoeing. We can experience new things, too. We do horseback riding, and this make us more experienced.

 The teachers are different, too. In Camp Big Apple, the korean professors in Master degree teach children. They are not native speakers. They will speak like korean's accent. Also, sometimes they will use korean in class. This can interupt students. But, Ranch West camp is different. The classes are taught by Canadian that recently graduated the university. So, we can learn more correct English accent and Korean professors.   

 Another difference is that Camp Big Apple makes children live in dormitories with children from all around the world. Because of this thay can have language problem. For example, Japanese and Indian became the roommate. And, Japanese friend speak Japanese and Indian speak other languages. So, they will not be able to communicate each other unless they use English. And, this will be hard. But, the Ranch West Camp use the home-stay, so the children can talk with home owner. Also, they can experience a real life in the other country.

 In conclusion, I think Ranch West Camp is better than Camp Big Apple because of studying, activities, teachers and place where we live.

Skill post 2- Summarizing and paraphrasing

 1. Summary of Shark Attack
 It is very hard to get shark attack. It is more likely to struck by lightning and drown than getting shark attack. If you travel in groups or don't stay if you are cut, you will not get shark attack.

 2. Paraphrase of the paragraph in Bear Attack
(Original Paragraph)
 Traveling in groups is one way to reduce the chances. Bears are very unlikely to attack groups of four or more people. Also, stay calm if you run into a bear. Bears are much more likely to attack if you try to run away.
(Paraphrased Paragraph)
When you want to avoid Bear attacks,people should travel in the wood together with groups, and stay calm when you run into the bear. Don't run away!

 3. Summary of Wikipedia's Harry Potter article
 Harry Potter is the 7 series movie. It is the movie about Harry Potter's quest to kill Voldemot. Many books are sold, because it has many genres, such as romance and action.

 4. Paraphrase of Wikipedia's Sk Wyverns article

(Original article)
 The first team to represent Incheon was founded in the inaugural KBO season in 1982, and were known as the Sammi Superstars. The team was unsuccessful, winning just 15 games out of 80 in their first season. They changed ownership in 1985 and were known as the Cheongbo Pintos. This new incarnation lasted only two seasons and became the Taepyeongyang Dolphins in 1988. In 1995, the powerful conglomerate, Hyundai, bought the outfit and re-named them the Hyundai Unicorns. With more potent financial backing, they finally brought the first Korean Series to Incheon in 1998.
 ( Paraphrased article)
 The first baseball team that was made in Incheon is Sammi Superstars. But, the team was unsuccessful. So, they changed the ownership and became Cheongbo Pintos. However, the team changed again to Taepyeongyang Dolphins, and Hyundai re-named the team to Hyundai Unicorns. With more and more effort, they played the Korean Series in the Incheon.

What The USA Eats......

Food Nutrition Eating Health Diet <span style='font-weight: bold'></span>
 In the morning, I played with my brother, Jimmy. My name is Sean.. Now it is a winter now, so we went outside and throw snowballs each other. The snow ball fight finished when my brother cried. He cried because my snow ball hit his eye. My mom came and she scolded me. Fortunately, my brother doesn't have any problem in his eye. We ate bread and milk for the breakfast. Usually, we have a simple breakfast.

 I had a lunch time in my school. We went to the cafeteria, and in there, there was hot dogs! I got the 3 hot dogs. I ate them with others, such as sand witches. I thought I could eat them all, but I couldn't finish one hot dog. None of my friend didn't want to eat it. I tried to trash it quietly, but my teacher saw that! She doesn't like students who trash the food. I got a yellow card and ate it. I went to the bathroom because of this.

 I had a horrible snack today. My mom gave me a hot dog for snack! I wanted to refuse it, but my mom was smiling! I couldn't refuse with seeing her face. What the hell! So, I ate only one hot dog. My mom asked me why you are not eat many, and I didn't answered it.

In the dinner, we ate pizza. We bought the biggest size of pizza, because my brother eats a lot. For our expect, my brother ate the half of the pizza. He is great. Because of this, he went to the bathroom 3 time after dinner! I ate 2, and parents ate 1 each. Our family watched TV after the dinner. I did homework for the exam, and I went sleep. Today, it was a fun day.

 Once upon a time, one person died. No one wasn't sure who killed him. So the CSI tried to figure out who killed him. Finally, they figured out who killed him, but couldn't catch him. He was a man named Bob. Bob was a criminal that ran out of a jail, and was never seen for 5 years. He went to the jail for stealing 15 police cars. He also stole buildings because he is very strong. Additionally, he hit the police and ran away. He is really a bad guy. Again, Bob became a big issue for the police, so police ran and ran to find Bob. However, Bob had a gun,so he tried to shoot the police. The police had more guns so the stepped back. The police thought that this is time to arrest him, so they tried to shoot him, but at that time, he flew away! Suddenly, bullets appeared out of nowhere and got enbedded on their heads. All of the police died and became zobies. Bob wanted to be a zombie so he nag to the police. But the police shoot him instead of biting him. Because of this, the guts were coming out. But, he didn't die! He started to walking around with no guts. But he couldn't feel anything. No one could kill him. He didn't die. The legend says that Bob is walking around somewhere in the world now, too. So, if you see Bob walking around, please call the police!

Skill post 1

 We are now in the vacation, so we decided to go to the English camp. And I choose the Ranch West Camp instead of Camp Big Apple, because there are better things in Ranch West camp than Camp Big Apple.


  I will talk about the first comparasion. The Camp big apple is an Intensive. They prepare for the math and English tests. They make us study for the hard tests, such as SAT. We will have to memorize the vocabulary, and have many homeworks. And, this can lead to the student's stresses. Because of this, the student's score will decrease oppositely what the camp wants to do. However, the Ranch West camp gives a free to children. They give the dicision to studying subject to students. The children can choose one subject that they have interest in, so they will not get sress. They will be more satisfied with the study. So, although the camp is not intensive for test, the students will have confidence of subjects they like.
 Also,there are boring activities such as going to the museum, and touring the city. We love to move and run in the weekends, not walking around the cities. The Ranch West Camp think about us more. The activities are fun. We move and do sports, not walking around the cities. The children do hiking and canoeing. We can experience new things, such as horseback riding. This make us more experienced people. These sports make us smile and get rid of stresses.
 The teachers are different, too. The Korean professors in Master degree teach children. They are not the native speakers. They will speack like the Koreans. But, in Ranch West Camp,the classes are taught by Canadian that recently graduated the University. So, the teachers are very professional. Their pronouncation and accent are different fro, the Koreans. So, the we can learn more correct English than students who went to Camp Big Apple.
 Another difference is that Camp Big Apple makes children live in domitories with children from all around the world. Because of this, they can have language problem. For example, Japanese and Indian became the roommate. And, Japanese friend speak Japanese and Indian speak their language. So, they will not be able to communicate each other unless they use the body language. And, this will be hard. But, the Ranch  West Camp use the home-stay, so the children can talk with the home owner. Also, they can experience a real life in the other country.
 In conclusion, I think Ranch West Camp is better than Camp Big Apple for these reasons.
