Final skill post!!!

Did you ever go to a summer camp? You could've said no, but many students say "yes". As you can see, many students go to English camps. But, why do students go to expensive English camps? It's because we can improve our English skills well. I recently heard about three famous English camps which is the Camp Big Apple, the Ranch West Camp, and the Head Start Splash. Every camp can be good, but there is no camp that is perfect. I will explain the characteristics of each three camps.

Camp Big Apple
 -We can prepare crucial tests like SAT.
 -We can be more global because we stay with students around the world.
 -We can experience things that we can't do in Korea.

Ranch West Camp
 -We can choose subjects so, we can enjoy the camp more.
 -The camp period is long enough.
 -We can experience new things by doing things like hiking and canoeing.
 -We can concentrate just on studying because it is held in the nature.

Head Start Splash
 -We can experience the nature and the island.
 -We can be not lonely because we stay with our families.
 -We can study a variety of things because it is 5 weeks.
 -Teachers are trustful.

 The most big similarity of the three camps is that the purpose is to improve our English skills. Also, because we go to foreign countries, we can experience many new things.

 However, each of the three camps have differences too. The main difference is the time we stay in the camp. Although, the Ranch West Camp is 4 weeks, Camp Big Apple and the Head Start Splash is each 3 weeks and 5 weeks. Also, the teacher's careers are different. Even though the Head Start Splash camp's teachers are trustful to teach English as their second language, the other camp's teachers could have a masters degree but the subject could be something else.

 I think the Ranch West Camp is the best because 4 weeks is enough and we can choose the subjects. Also, we can experience new things like canoeing too. Finally, because it is in the nature like GLPS, we can concentrate just on studying

Korea Republic vs. Columbia

 In the match of Korea and Columbia it was ture that we will lose because they even winned the team we couldn't win wich was France. Because of the first goal of Columbia in the first 36minutes, we trashed hope. However we shouldn't trash hope because of the "Wild Card". This is like this. In the U-20 world cup, there are 6groups and 4 teams each. But if the first and second go to the top 16, there are only 12 so the 3rd place 4teams go to the top 16. We went to the top 16 so!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  This is started because in the 1986 Mexico World cup, 24 countries only went to the worldcup. I'm happy that we finally went to the top 16 Yey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What the world eats

 Hello everyone, this is a food an English family eat per one week. It costs about 500 dollars. I think this is big amount of food for a family eat because there are so many bottles and so many same things there. Also, because a year is 52 weeks it will cost 26000 dollars. It is a little bit many.
 Compared to my family I think this amount of food is much than our family. I think this amount of food is the same amount that our family eats for 3weeks. Our family eats like 1 box of egg , 2/5 box of kimchi, many rice, one pizza  and many fruits depending on the time. 
 As I see the picture, the family eats one bottle of milk everyday, few bottles of alchol(?) everyday many fruits everyday about 1 or 2 bottles of juice everyday and so on. Our family can't eat it or if we eat I think our family will suddenly be very fat. I think the family uses many chalories to not too fat.  I became shockecd because it's too many.

Thank you for reading my essay about the food an English family eats.
