Skills Post 3- Compare and contrast
I'm pretty sure that almost everyone would agree that a good camp has to satisfy the students who go there. But a camp can't fit all of the needs. It will have some disadvantages. What I'm looking for is that I can study what I want, and have fun activities. If you look at both Camp Big Apple and Camp Ranch West, they both have similarities and differences.
Both camps are help overseas. Parents don't come along, and they both have outdoor activities. But there are two reasons why I like Ranch West Camp better than Camp Big Apple.
First, there are differences between the teachers. On the one hand, Camp Big Apple has Korean professors with a Master's Degree. On the other hand, Ranch West Camp has native speakers as teachers. I believe that native speakers would be better as teachers because they are very comfortable in speaking English to other people. Compared to Korean professors, who have a weird pronounciation, and is not that comfortable in speaking English than native speakers.
Second, there are differences between the outdoor activities. Ranch West Camp has activities such as mountain biking, river rafting, and hiking. However, Camp Big Apple has these boring activities, where you go out to Broadway to see Broadway shows, go to museums, etc. How boring does that sound? Now I would pick Ranch West Camp in a heartbeat by just reading this paragraph.
In conclusion, I believe that Ranch West Camp is a better camp to go to than Camp Big Apple because of two reasons. One, because Ranch West Cam has better teachers. Two, Ranch West Camp has more fun outdoor activities. I recommend that you should go to Ranch West Camp.

cheating in soccer
I can't believe it! you know that in the U-20 World Cup, Korea lost to Spain in the penalty kicks, but do you see this picture? this was a Korean player that was on the ground because he was hurt. What I didn't know was that he got hit with a laser! According to the Internet, a laser attack can make you not see for 2 to 3 seconds, but if the effects were devastating, you might even lose your eye sights!!! I can't believe that an audience would cheat like that!! Also, there was another one when Korea was going against Columbia, and an audience member shot a laser at the goal keeper of Korea, so the cgoal keeper would not be able to see. that is why the goal keeper let a ridiculous goal in!!! I can't believe this!!!

Skills Post 2- summarizing and paraphrasing
Two Animal Attacks
1. Summarize-Shark Attacks
People have this fear when they go to swimming that they are going to get attacked by sharks. However, there is more chance of getting struck by lightning! And even if you get attacked by a shark, there is only little chance that an attack is going to be fatal. Also, you are more likely to drown than get attacked by sharks when swimming. But if you want to reduce the risks of shark attacks, you can travel in groups or stay out of water when you are bleeding.
2. Paraphrase-Bear Attacks
(original paragraph) Traveling in groups is one way to reduce the chances. Bears are very unlikely to attack groups of four or more people. Also, stay calm if you run into a bear. Bears are much more likely to attack if you try to run away.
(paraphrased paragraph) A method to lower the chances of getting attacked, you can stay with other people. There is a very low chance that the bears will attack a bunch of people more than 4. Plus, don't panic if you meet a bear. There is a very high chance that the bears will attack you if you panic and run away.
3. Summarize(Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief)
Percy Jackson was a kid with ADHD attending Yancy Academy middle school until when he found out that his best friend Grover, is a satyr, and he is the son of Poseidon. He reaches this camp, where all the kids of the gods stay and train under a centaur called Chiron. But Percy has to go on a quest, where he has to retrieve the lightning bolt of Zeus by Summer Solstice because if he doesn't, a huge war would break out. So, he goes, and finds that Ares stole the lightning bolt, and fights him with his sword, Riptide. He finally defeats Ares, retrieves the sword, and goes to Olympus, which is currently located on the 600th floor of the Empire State Building. He gives the lightning bolt to Zeus, which apologizes for accusing the wrong thief.
4. Paraphrase(An article about the baseball team Doosan Bears)
(original paragraph)Doosan Bears performed a great feat by winning the Korean Series in 1982, the first year of pro baseball in Korea (KBL), and helped stimulate interest in the game of baseball.
The club, thanks to its formidable tenacity and perseverance, repeated its success by becoming champions again in 1995 and 2001.In addition, Doosan Bears continued to play in the post seasons in the 2000s, constantly maintaining its stature and tradition as a prestigious ball club.
(paraphased paragraph)In the first year of of the Korean Baseball League(KBL), the Doosan Bears won the very first Korean series. After that, they continued their glory when they became winners of it again in 1995 and 2001. they still played in the post seasons of the new century, and maintaining their honorable reputation as a pretigious baseball club.

Fun Post 5 - Korean Baseball League
This Fun Post is about the Korean Baseball 2011.
2. Lee Dae-Ho-Lotte Giants
3. Lee Byung Gyu-LG Twins
If you look at the overall score of all of the records, KIA Tigers rank #1in the league. They have the pitcher with the least average points given, the hitter that has the highest average percentage, and they rank #2. but since Samsung Lions, which rank #1 in the league, only has a pitcher in the Top 5 pitchers, and no hitters in the Top 5 hitters. KIA Tigers used to rank #6 in the start of the league, and Doosan Bears used to rank #2 in the league. But as the season went on, KIA Tigers started winning all their games, and Doosan Bears started to lose all of their games. As a result, KIA Tigers rank #2, and Doosan Bears rank #6. Even though I love both teams, I wish that KIA Tigers would go into a slump, and Doosan Bears suddenly win all of their games and go back to be ranking #2 because I like Doosan way better than KIA, and KIA is doing too good recently. Also, the ace of the Doosan Bears, Kim Seon Ooh, could not do a good job at pitching, and the ace of KIA Tigers, Yun Seok Min, is doing such a good job at pitching. So, that is why KIA is winning all of their games, and Doosan is losing most of their games.
Currently, the ranking in the Korean Baseball 2011 is:
1. Samsung Lions
2. KIA Tigers
3. SK Wyverns
3. SK Wyverns
4. Lotte Giants
5. LG Twins
6. Doosan Bears
7. Hanwha Eagles
8. Nexen Heroes
The ranking for the average points given(pitcher) is
1. Yun Seok Min- KIA Tigers
2. Nipert-Doosan Bears
3. Lopez-KIA Tigers
4. Glober-SK Wyverns
5. Yun Seong Hwan-Samsung LionsThe ranking for the average hitting percentage(hitter) is
1. Lee yong Gyu-KIA Tigers2. Lee Dae-Ho-Lotte Giants
3. Lee Byung Gyu-LG Twins
4. Son Ah sup-Lotte Giants
5. Jung Seong Hoon-LG TwinsIf you look at the overall score of all of the records, KIA Tigers rank #1in the league. They have the pitcher with the least average points given, the hitter that has the highest average percentage, and they rank #2. but since Samsung Lions, which rank #1 in the league, only has a pitcher in the Top 5 pitchers, and no hitters in the Top 5 hitters.
