Skills Posts 1-Compare and Contrast-Last Draft

   Let's say you are planning on attending a summer camp this year. You have 3 choices available. They are Camp Big Apple, Ranch West Camp, and Head Start Splash. To find the best camp for you, you would have to consider their similarities and differences and make your decision. But first, we should think about each camp first.
   First is Camp Big Apple. This camp is a 3-week intensive academic English camp. You will study mainly about vocabulary, math skills, and prepare for tests. Classes are taught by Korean professors and students will live in dormitories. This may be a good camp since you would have a chance to meet kids from the world and you will get to use English in your daily life. Also, you can prepare for your future, and the length is a bit short. However, you don't know what degree the Korean professors have so you can't rely on them completely.
   Second is Ranch West Camp. This camp is a 4-week camp, which students can choose what subject they'd like to learn. You would dwell in a home-stay situation and classes would be taught by recent graduates. On one hand, this camp may also be beneficial since you can choose the things you'd like to learn and you can use English in your life because you home-stay with foreigners. On the other hand, classes are taught by recent graduates so they might not have teaching experience, in addition to not knowing what they graduated.
   Last is Head Start Splash which is a 5-week camp located in a shore. You will learn things you'd learn in an International School in one semester. You'd have to come with one parent and classes are taught by people who graduated with a degree and certificate of teaching students as a second language. As you can see, in contrast to the other canps, this one tells you what the teachers graduated on in university. However, it does have disadvantages such as you won't use English in daily life since you'll be staying with your parent.
   Since there are lots of advantages and disadvantages, there may also be many similarities and differences between them. One of the similarities is that every camp is an international academic English camp, which helps with your studying. In addition, they all have very fun activities such as touring around the city, horseback-riding, or snorkeling.
   As I said, there are still many differences, too. One is that they all have different lengths-3 weeks, 4 weeks, and 5 weeks. Also, in contrast to Camp Big Apple and Ranch West  Camp, Head Start Splash won't have chances to use English in your everyday life. In addition, even though Camp Big Apple and Head Start Splash has a program all students should attend to, but Ranch West  Cmp just lets you study the thing you want. Lastly, Camp Big Apple focus on building studying sills while the other 2 camps just study and play.
   I think Camp Big Apple is the best one because although it is too academic and hard for young students, the skills they teach will be important in your life, the teachers are more reliable, and you can share culture with intermational students by staying in dormitories with them.
