At GLPS, I came to increase my English skills and I think I did. Maybe it is because of the hard working curriculum. As a result, I am tired and miserable of GLPS. I need something to make me feel better. So I am seeking for a camp like that by comparing and contrasting "camp Big Apple" and "Ranchwest camp".
There are two camps that I am going to talk about. One is called "camp Big Apple" and the other one is called "Ranchwest camp". Camp Big Apple is for three weeks and is very intensive. You prepare for big exams like SAT and TOEFL. I mean, these tests are for adults not for us children. So I think it is preferred to be called as "study camp" or "preparing for adult test camp". Whereas Ranchwest camp has much more freedom. We can choose what we can study from music, math, science, art etc. So you can study on the thing you like the most. Now I will talk specificly about these two camps and compare and contrast these two camps.
First, Big Apple which is in a dormitary is much more intensive than Ranchwest. It is three weeks but all you do is study, study, and study. The teachers that are teaching that are teaching the students are from U.S universitie and their degree is M.A which is masters degree. Masters degree is the highest degree if you are not going to be a doctor. So the professors will have good skills of teaching. As a result, it can be effective on just learning English, but on my opinion, I don't just like studying the whole day. We kids have to get some rest, get to know each other and play with each other.
Second, there is Ranchwest which the students live in a home-stay situation. Ranchwest is a 4 week program and this may be study, study, study like Big Apple. But the students do not only study English. The students study another subject in English, for example, music, literature, politics, art, computer programming etc. They study a subject they really like or a subject that they are curious about. So you study another subject in English. That could be beneficial because the students study the subject they like and they study it in English. However, you can only study that one subject for the whole camp as a result that might be the cons of this camp.
On one hand, Big Apple is a very intensive program. On the other hand, Ranchwest, students can choose a subject that the students like. Also, Big Apple is for three weeks. In contrast, Ranchwest is for four weeks. In addition, in Big Apple, you will stay in doemitories. But in Ranchwest, you are in a home-stay situation. One more, Big Apple is in urban areas on the contrary, Ranchwest is in the rural areas.
On comparing, of course, they are both an English camp. Also, both camps enjoy interesting activities. Big Apple enjoys activities in the urban side. For example, tours of the city, trips to local museums, and tickets to broadway shows. Big Apple's activities are more educational. Alike Big Apple, Ranchwest enjoys but especially extreme activities, such as river rafting, hiking, canoeing, and mountain biking.
As a result of my comparing and contrasting, isn't it obvious? I chose RANCHWEST for three major reasons. First, it is in a rural area in Canada. So the air is Fresh. Second, since it is in the rural area, we can enjoy extreme activities like river rafting, hiking, canoeing, and mountain biking. Lastly, we can choose what to learn.
