SECRET GARDEN!!!
final compare and contrast!
.
If I would like to attend an English camp and I have a few choices, I would compare and contrast. My choices are Camp Big Apple, Ranch West, and Head Start Splash. All three camps are similar in some ways, but different in other.
They have the similarity of all being English camps, and that they do it for at least 3 weeks. Their main language is English, and they all have a reason that they are opening this camp.
Camp Big Apple is a camp located in New York. On the one hand, it is an intensive camp that you are in for three weeks. But, on the other hand, because it is located in New York, it might be noisy. Also, because the Korean professors teach the classes, you may not know what they teach in the universities. This camp is for SAT, and you live in a dorm during camp.
Ranch West is a camp in rural Canada that believes that kids learn the best when they do something that interests them. So, the children will have fun learning. But, the bad thing is that you can only learn a few subjects rather than many or all. Also, the camp is taught by recant university graduates, so they might not be good at teaching. Also, we home stay in this camp. And it’s for four weeks.
Head Start Splash is a camp in Cebu, Philippines. This is a camp that requires one of your parents to come with you. The camp is for five weeks and the classes are taught by local teachers. The camp provides you and your parent(s) a small apartment, but if your parents can’t come, it means you can’t come either. Also, it’s a bit long. Five weeks.
In contrast, I think Ranch West is the best camp for me. Because, Ranch West lets you pick what you want to learn. Also, it is taught by recent students, so the students will still remember the things they have learned and teach them to the campers. I wish you agree with me.

Giant Planets at Dusk and Dawn (Dawn)
Original paragraph
Jupiter shines at magnitude -2.1 or -2.2 near the southwestern corner of Aries. It rises about 2 hours before the sun on June 1st, but 4hours early on June 30th. But the best time to observe it telescopically is when it'[s higher, in morning twilight.
My paraphrase
JUpiter has a magnitude of -2.1 or -2.2. You can see it 2hours before sunrise on June 1st and 4 hours before on June 30th. But, the best time to see it is twilight.

That's almost when you can see much fainter Mars(magnitude +1.3 or +1.4) far to Jupiter's lower left. And if you want to wait untill a half hour before sunrise, you can also see Venus shining at magnitude -3.8 to Mars's lower left. This long time of worlds is the last remnant of May's amazingly compact four-planet congregation.
My summary
Jupiter shines at -2.1 or -2.2 magnitude at a southwestern corner of Aries, 2hours before sunrise on June 1st, and 4hours before sunrise on June 30th. Mars shines in magnitude +1.3 or +1.4 on Jupiters far left. Venus rises an hour before sunrise. You can see Venus shining magnitude -3.8 to Mars's left. This is May's compact four-planet congregation.

Two Animal Attacks
Shark Attack Summary
Shark attacks. It's scary, right? It's possible, but not likely. But, being attacked by a shark is a lower possibility than to get hit by lightning. 180people get struck by lightning in a year, but only 11people get attacked by sharks. Also, being drowned has a bigger possibility. 1out of 3.5 million get drowned, but 1 out of 11 million get attacked by sharks. Ways not to get attacked are to travel in groups, and if yopu are cut, don't go in the water. Sharks have a great sence of smell.
Bear Attack Paraphrase(paragraph #4)
In the Yellowstone National Park, there is a higher possibility to drown than to get attacked by a bear. During 1839~1994, 101epople drowned, but only 5 people got killed by a grizzy bear.

What The World Eats!!
This is and American family's picture with the food they eat in a week. I like the food in this picture best because I'm use to this kind of food. I was born in America(Indiana), and lived in AMerica for 8 years and came back in 2008. I'm used to this kind of food because this half of the food I ate. I also ate Korean food in America, but at lunch at school or sometimes when my mom and I go out to eat, we ate these kinds of food.
In this picture, most of the food i ate was pizza, chips, coke, fast food, milk, and bacon or ham. I LOVE these foods, but I like Korean food too. The difference between American food and Korean food is that Korean people eat rice, but the American people usually eat things made out of flour. For example, pizza dough, tortillas,fast food hamburgers, and more.
If you ask me if the American food is better or the KOrean food is better, I bet I can't choose. It's because both American food and KOrean food have good things and bad things. But, just because we live in Korean, it doesn't mean that you can't eat the American food. Nowadays, even in Korean, you can find all of these foods.
Korean Minjok Leadership Academy , also known as KMLA or Minsago (민사고), is a independent boarding high school near the town of Hoengseong(횡성), Gangwon(강원), South Korea(대한민국)east of Seoul at an top of 600 meters .

Alot of students who graduate this school go to univercities in the states. But, not all. KMLA has a camp called GLPS for students in 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students.

Head Start Splash is a camp in Cebu, Philippenes. This is a camp that requires one of your parents to come with you. It five weeks and the classes are taught buy local teachers. The camp prvides you and your parenets a small apartment, but is your parenets can't caome, that also means that you can't come.
In contrast, I think that Ranch West id the best camp for me. Because, Ranch West lets you pick what you want to learn. Also, it is taught by recent students, so the students will still have a lot of knowledge in their minds, and the campers will get all of the knowledge to teach the kids.
