Skill post

Many students go to summer and winter camp. Some students prefer fun and sporty camps while other students prefer educational camps for their future, They have hard time choosing which camp they want to go to. Well, if I were you, I would choose Camp Big Apple among Camp Big Apple and Ranch West Camp.
   First, we can grow independece in both of these camps. In our life, we nomally live with our parents or granparents and cannot grow independence. They support almost everthing we do and we don't get  much chance to grow independence. On the  other hand, we will be doing everything independently while we are in these camps. For example, we will be going out of our dorms of home- stays to classes independently with your friends without your parents telling you when to leave. So, these two camps will be able to help you grow independence.However, the amount of time students have to stay in these camps are different. In Camp Big Apple, we stay for only three week but on the other hand, we stay for four weeks in Ranch West Camp. Personally, I cannot stay away from my parents for 4weeks because of my homesickness. So, I chose Camp Big Apple because 3 weeks are perfect legnth for me to stay in any camps.
     Secon, we will be educated very well during these two camps. In Camp Big Apple, we will be educated very well during these  two camps. In Camp Big Apple, we will be able to prepare for our English Language test li
ke SAT. Also, you can study art by going to museum or going to Broad Way show. In Ranch West Camp, they can study Math, Art , History, Science, Politics, World Cultures, Music, Computer Programming and Literature. Students will also be able to learn English by speaking English during the camp. So, we will be educated very well during these two camps. On the other hand, things and ways they learn in each camp are different . In  Camp Big Apple, we learn from Kroena professors who at least have a Master degree. In contrast, in Ranch West Cmap they learn only subjects they want to learn. Also, students taught by Canadian teachers who have graduated from local universities. For me, learning and preparing for the SAT for future and beign aught form teacheer who at learst have a Amaster degree is much better than learning only subjects you want to learn an being taught from just normal Canadian teachers.
     Third, children's home countries will be different. In Camp Big Apple, there  will eb children all over the world but itn Ranch West Camp, there will eb children who live in or near Canada.
     For these three reasons I think Cmap Big Apple is better than Ranch West Camp. I hope my writting helped you to chose which camp you want to go.
 Thank you for reading my passage!

Shark Attacks
-summarizing-
Many people are afraid of sharks when they swim in the ocean.
Actually, ther are possibilities that you might get attaked but according to many statistics,
 you  are more likely get drowned or get strucked by lightning.
Also, sharks will not attack you even though you found a shark.
But if you are still anxious about sharks you might like to stay with many people when you are swimming
 and try not to go into the  ocean if have a cut because sharks have very good nose detecting blood.

-paraphrasing-
There is more possibility that you will be strucked by lightning wheter than being attaked by sharks.
For example, in the costal areas of United States, only 18 people out of 180 people -who who injured or deceased -were attacked by sharks and only one person of of 18 people were deceased. So, it's unlikely that you will be attaked by sharks while you are swimming in the ocean.


Whales near New York

-summarizing-
American scienctists putted 10 sound recorders to see how the sound pollution of ships around New York
had affected the whales living around New York. Fortunately, scientists say that there are still six kinds of whales living near New  York inculding the world largest whale-blue whale- and many other kinds.
 Also, the scientists say that whales are moving to north through New York to the grounds near the Arctic.
 But they still said that some whales are  staying in this area for the whole year or so.
So, it's very amazing to see  so many kinds of whales living very near one of most popular cities in the world.

-Paraphrasing-
( the last paragraph)
Scientists say that there are whales moving the the north to the ground of Arctic.
But  they  say that there are still some whales living around that area for a year  very near New York.
 Also, the director of  this research program said that  he was very surprised to see so many whales living around New York depite pollutions from ships.
