Skillspost 1

I think the best way to learn english is to 'study' and my opinion is that the camp to the other foreign countries would help you to improve your english skills, too. I have three camps, Camp Big Apple, Ranch West Camp, and Head Start Splash, and want to choose one of them. Similar things with these three are that they study and go to the other country. But which one would be the best? Which one would you like to choose if you were me? Well, I would like to go to Camp Big Apple because...

First, it is focus on studying. Camp Big Apple is an intensive Academic English camp, so because of that, they focus on 'studying' rather than 'playing'. How about teachers? Compare to Head Start Splash, teachers in Head Start Splash are local, but that's it. It doesn't say any things about teachers except that they're local. So we don't know whether they're smart or not unless we go to the camp.
  However, teachers in Camp Big Apple would be smarter than them because they are all Korean Professors who are with at least a Masters degree and some of them even have their Doctorate form an American university. This shows that they are very good at english and math.  Although they are not local, they are very smart, and it shows that teachers in Camp Big apple will help you more with you vocabulary, math skills, and english skills needed for important english language test, such as SAT.

Second, it is safe. Even though activities in Ranch West Camp will give you more fun, it will be more dangerous, too. Things like horseback riding, river rafting hiking and mountain biking can cause you a great damage if you get hurt. For example, imagine you were doing horseback riding, and the horse you were riding was surprised and jumped up. Because of that, you would hurt your bones. Also, you can die if horse steps on you 'accidently'. Most of the activities in Ranch West Camp is dangerous.

Lastly, Camp Big Apple is the shortest. You will miss your family and friends the more, the longer you stay. To compare with Head Start Splash, your parents(or parent) will join you, but what about your friends? Also, to compare with Ranch West Camp, there's no way to meet your parents unless they come. It's same to Camp Big Apple, but because Camp Big Apple is shorter, you will miss your parents and friends than Ranch West Camp.

Therefore, I want to go to Camp Big Apple because it focuses on studying, safe and short.

  1. Nice! You've got the proper essay format and you ahve really used the transition words well. We will work a little more to make your writing clearer later in the camp but you have a good start here.
