I choose the Head Start Splash camp. Of course, the other camps are very good to study English and will be a good experience, but I chose the camp Head Start Splash. There are many reasons for my opinion , like how long is this camp , where this camp is or some study programs too, but today I am going to talk about environment and study programs.
First, the environment. I like that this camp is near a beach. People can think that if there is beach near a camp, it can disrupt studying. But when I am in this GLPS camp, sometimes I could feel that I want to go to the open place like beach and have a good time with my friends. So I think if we have a beach near the camp, we can reduce our stress which comes from hard studying. And I think we can study well.
And then I will talk about the country where the camp is. As you know this camp is in Philippines. It is fact that Canada and USA people use English more, but I focused on saving money. I think if this camp is and English camp, I can believe that this camp is teaching English well, because it is an English camp. So, if we go to the English camp and study hard there, I think we can improve our English skills. And if we go to the Philippines I think we can save our money, because it is much closer to Korea. So, I think if we go to this camp, we can learn English with saving money.
Second, the study programs. The Big Apple camp is too hard to study, because it is an intensive camp. So you may lose your interests and it can be very boring and stressful. The Ranch West Camp is too east than the Camp Head Start Splash, because we can choose what we are going to do. I think the students who are going this camp might choose the subject only for the entertainment. If we go to this camp, it can be very easy that you may not study much in this camp.
So, I think Head Start Splash is the best camp, because it has better environment and study programs. And if we go to this camp we can develop our English skills and also enjoy the camp very much.

Second Skill Post - 2
Kwang-hyun Kim won five important games from October 2007 through August 2008 after a disappointing rookie season in Korea. He then was South Korea's dominant hurler in 2008. Kim was a top high school prospect. In 2004, he had a 0.74 ERA in a national high school tournament. He pitched in the 2005 Asian Youth Championship and a World Youth Championship. He tossed four innings for South Korea in the finale of the 2006 World Junior Championship, in which they beat the USA to take the title.
Kim was signed by the SK Wyverns for a 500 million won bonus. He was 3-7 with a 3.67 ERA in his rookie campaign, allowing 80 hits and 41 walks in 77 innings in a disappointing season. In the postseason, he turned in a gem. In game four of the 2007 Korean Series, he faced MVP Danny Rios and out-dueled him, allowing just one hit in 7 1/3 innings and struck out nine for a major victory to help the Wyverns to the Korean Series title.
In the 2007 Asia Series, Kim got the first victory by a Korean hurler against Japan in the event's history, defeating the Chunichi Dragons in the round-robin phase.
Kim joined South Korea's national team for the 2008 Final Olympic Qualification Tournament and helped them win a spot in the Beijing Summer Games. He shut down a Mexican national team with several former major leaguers, allowing only a Miguel Ojeda homer in a 6-1 win. Against host Taiwan, he allowed two first-inning runs before settling down for a 4-3 victory. He was 2-0 with a 1.64 ERA, finishing 8th in the tourney in ERA. He tied Alexandre Periard, Steve Green, Scott Richmond, Chien-Ming Chiang, Chien-Fu Yang and teammate Min-han Son for the most wins in the event.
Kim got two good starts for South Korea against Japan in the 2008 Olympics, including a win in the semifinals to help Korea win Gold. He was 1-0 with a 1.26 ERA in Beijing, striking out 12 in 14 1/3 IP.
Kim almost won a pitching Triple Crown in 2008, leading the Korea Baseball Organization in wins (16) and strikeouts (150). His 2.39 ERA was .06 behind leader Seok-min Yoon. He was named KBO MVP, getting 51 of 94 votes, 24 more than runner-up Hyun-soo Kim. Kwang-hyun won a bonus of around $15,000 for the award.
Kim was then a total bust in the 2009 World Baseball Classic, when he was the worst hurler on the runner-up team. He was 0-1 with a 21.60 ERA, allowing 10 hits and 9 runs in 3 1/3 IP. He tied Roy Oswalt (who pitched many more innings) for second in the tourney in runs allowed, one behind Jeremy Guthrie. Kim tied Jake Peavy for the most earned runs surrendered. Kwang-hyun allowed 8 runs in just 1 1/3 innings in a start against Japan in South Korea's first game, including a 3-run homer by Shuichi Murata.
Kim pitches a fastball usually sits around 90 mph (tops out at 96 mph), and his changeup, slider and curveball are all major league average pitches. Like other young pitchers, kim still has problem in his control and command.
summarizing
Kim-Kwang-Hyun came to KBO in 2007 and he won five important games,. And the in 2008, he became South Korea's dominant hurler. In 2004, he was very good at a national high shoo;l tournament, 2008 Asian Youth Champion ship, World Youth Championship, 2005 Asian Youth Championship mad 2006 Wold Junior Championship. He signed up by the Sk Wyverns and that year he helped SK to get the Korean Series title. IN 2008, he went to 2008 Beijing Summer Games and he pitched well. Especiallym he helped Korean to beat Japan. And that year he got MVP and he almost won a pitching Triple Crown. But in 2009 WBC he was very bad. He's fastball usually sits around 90mph(toop is 96mph) and he has good change up, slider and curveball.
Paraphrasing
In the 2007 Asia Series, Kim got the first victory by a Korean hurler against Japan in the event's history, defeating the Chunichi Dragons in the round-robin phase.
Kim Kwang Hyun won agianst Japan in the 2007 Asia Series. And that was first time to win the Chunichi Dragons in the round-robin phase through the event's history against Japan. And he was the first Korean hurler to do that.

Bear attacks - summerizing
As you go hiking in the back woods of North America, you might feel some fear of being attacked by a bear. But, actually if you run into a bear, the bear will be more surprised and it will run away. And more funny thing is that you will die by a car crash in the back woods than by being attacked by a bear. In the Yellowstone National Park, more people died, becuase of the drowning than being killed by grizzly bears.
But, eventhough you read this article, if you are stiil afraid of bear attacks, you have some choices to reduce being attacked by a bear. First, you can travel in groups. And also, you have to stay calm when you see the bears. Bears like to attack when you are trying to run away.

Samsung Lions
I'm not a fan of Samsung Lions, many of my friends are fan of Samsung Lions. And in fact, Sumsang Lions has a long history and it is a very strong team. So, todday I will talk about Samsung Lions. The first retired number in the Samsung Lions organization was number 22, in memory of the legendary catcher and slugger, Lee-Man-Su, who is currently a coach with the SK Wyverns. The second retired number in the Samsung Lions organization is number 10, in memory of the legendary left-handed batter Yang Joon Hyuk. Yang led the league in batting four times, and holds six batting career records including the home run record with 351. The expected retired number is number 36, in honor of the batter Lee Seung-Yeop, who is playing for Orix Buffaloes in the Nippon Professional Baseball.

What the world eats
This is a picture about the food that Germans eat. I choose this picture, because I was very surprised that there are a lots of beers and any other kinds of alcoholic drinks. I knew that Germans like alcoholic drinks, but I didn't know that they like alcoholic drinks very much like this. I think these children don't drink alcoholic drinks, so I can guess these alcoholic drinks must be for the parents. I can not believe that they drinks this huge amount of alcoholic drinks in one week.
In the blog that called Time Photos say that this family's Food expenditure for one week is 375.39 Euros or $500.07 and the Favorite foods are fried potatoes with onions, bacon and herring, fried noodles with eggs and cheese, pizza and vanilla pudding.
So, I thought I want to compare and contrast this Germans foods to Korean foods. When most people think of Korean food, they think of kimchi, Korea's staple side dish which, along with rice, accompanies almost every meal. Although it is an acquired taste, many long-term foreigners also find themselves missing the flavor of kimchi if they have too many meals without it. While many Korean dishes are unfamiliar at first, they are not really that different from some Western foods.
So, I'll compare and contrast them. Korean foods are orient, but German foods are occident. In other words, German foods usually consist with eggs or bacon, cheese, but Korean foods usually consist with Kimchi or rice. And Germans use spoon and fork to eat food, but Koreans use chopsticks and spoon to eat food.

The first skill post
I chose the Head Start Splash camp. Of course, the other camps are very good to study english, but I chose this camp. There are many reasons for my opinion. First of all, I think it is good that this camp is a five weeks camp. I think if we have more time in the camp than other camps, we can earn more experiences that we need like how to live without family, how to speak englosh woth native speakers or some kinds of cultures too. For example, camp Big Apple is only tree weeks camp, so I think we can't have enough time to get more experiences.
Secondly, I like that this camp is very close to Korea tahn other camps. Big Apple is in New York. Ranch West is in Canada. And HEad Start Splash camp is in Philippines. I think this Head Start Splash camp will cost lesser than any other camps, so we can study english with saving our money, eventhough New York and Canada os using more english than Philippines.
Thirdly, I thaink it is good that this camping place is near the beach. If we have a beach near the camping place, we can do many fun activities at the beach. I think playing at the beach is more fun than playing at the mountain, because we can run around at the beach and it is very cool when you go to the beach in the summer.
Lastly, I like the studying programs. The camp Big Apple is too hard to study than the camp Head Start Splash. If we go to this Big Apple camp, it can be too hard to study. So you may lose interests and it can be very boring. The Ranch West camp is too easy than the camp Head Start Splash. If we go to this Ranch West camp. It can be too easy to study. So you may not study much in this camp. I think in Head Atart Splash camp, we can study englosh and have more fun in the camp.

About Sk Wyverns
As you see, I am a great fan of Sk Wyverns. So today, I want to introduce my favorite team Sk Wyverns. Sk Wyverns history starts in 2000. At that time the Sk Wyverns was 8th. In other words Sk Wyverns was the last. Untill 2003 Sk Wyverns was almost the worst team, but in 2003, Sk Wyverns was the second. And the legend of Sk Wyverns was started. In 2007, SK defeated the Doosen Bears in six games to win the 2007 Korean Series- the first time the franchise had won the Korean Series - after finishing the league in first place. They became the first team in Korean Series history to win after losing the first two games. Designated Hitter Kim-Jae-Hyun was the series MVP. SK went to the Korean Series again in 2008, once again facing their main rivals, Doosan Bears. In a repeat of 2007, SK defeated Doosan to become 2 time Korean Series Champions. 21 year old 3rd baseman Chio-Jeongwas named the series MVP.
In 2009, However, SK remained runner-up position in the 2009 KBO series and 2009 Korean series, which was defeated by KIA Tigers.
The Wyverns also had a 23 game winning streak that ended in April 2010. This is the longest winning streak in Korean Baseball, and the second longest in the world, after the New York Yankees.
