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
