Compare&Contrast three different camps

There are three different camps which are Camp Big Apple, Ranch West Camp and Head Start Splash. The three camps is very different. However, they has some similarities. The first similarity is that all the three camps is all the camp related with learning English or related with just English. And the second similarity is all the three camps has students from many countries around the world.

On the other hand, they have many differneces. First, Camp Big Apple is kind of a camp to study English very hard. Compared to Camp Big Apple, Ranch West Camp is sometimes studying very hard, but also it has some outside activities. And contrasted with Camp Big Apple, Head Start Splsh camp is not just studying camp. Littl similar to Ranch West camp, it has many outdoor activities. It includes many outdoor activities.

Second, Camp Big Apple is 3 weeks long and it is intensive. So Camp Big Apple is kind of a intensive and short camp. In contrast, Ranch West camp are 4 weeks long so it has perfect length. In contrast, Head Start Splash camp is kind of long camp, because it is 5 weeks long.

Third, Camp Big Apple students has to live in dormitory during the camp. On the other hand, Ranch West camp students can be in a home-stay situation and Head Start Splash camp students will be provided wit a small apartment for the student and at least 1 parents for them.

Fourth, Camp Big Apple teachers are Korean professors with at least a Masters degree. Some students might speak Korean in Camp Big Apple because Korean professors teaches all the classes there. In comparison Ranch West Camp classes are thaught by recent graduates from the local university so they might have no teaching experiences. In contrast, Head Start Splash camp classes are thaught by local teachers with Bachelor's degrees, and certificates to teach English as a second language.

And Finally, Camp Big Apple studies about important language tests and vocabulary. However, contrasted with Camp Big Apple, Ranch West Camp believes that students will learn English best when they are doing something what interests them, so students are able to choose a subject which they would like to study. In contrast, Head Start Splash camp students study a condensed version of the material used during one smester in International School. Their goal is to teach English as a second
language.

In writing class, I had to choose only one camp so I chose the Head Start Splash camp when I finished comparing the three camps. I chose the Head Start Splash camo because I thought learning in international school will fit with me because I have to speak English all the time in international school. But when I go to Camp Big Apple, students might speak Korean because Korean professor teaches them.

Also, I thought the Head Start Splash camo is the most better camp among the three camps. The second reason is that I don't get homesick in Head Start Splash camp because I can stay in small apartment with my parents.
