Summarizing
Some people have fear that they will get attacked by sharks when they go swimming. It is possible but very rare. It is more possible that you will get drowned or struck by lightning. If you are still worried, there are someways to reduce shark attacks. First, Swimm in groups. Sharks are more likely to attack alone swimmers. Second, don't go into the water with cuts. Sharks can have a good sense of smell..

The start of Soccer
The start of soccer
Soccer was at first a game with no referees and no particulary rule. Back then soccer was played using ad-hoc pitches and most teams were formed because they were part of the same village, organization, factory. In the 19th century soccer became popular in england. Even then they played with basic rules and their were no referees to enforce them and their wasn't any clear clarification. So, usually soccer grew into 'Soccer Fights' it caused many problems. Soon, there were rules and referees. Soccer was a fair and good sport that everyone enjoyed.
I posted some little facts. Soon I will go into some famous soccer games ad other soccer players that I respect

The trip to Africa
Dear diary
Today we traveled to the Africa to a kind of camp. Everyone in the camp looked very unhealthy and sick. I wanted to give them food. Unfortunatly, I didn't take any food from my hotel room. I was about to give them money, but my dad stopped me and said "I know you want to help them. but don't show the money infront
Today we traveled to the Africa to a kind of camp. Everyone in the camp looked very unhealthy and sick. I wanted to give them food. Unfortunatly, I didn't take any food from my hotel room. I was about to give them money, but my dad stopped me and said "I know you want to help them. but don't show the money infront
of the other people. They will steal your rest."So I secretly gave the begger the money and left. Alol around the trip, I saw sick people lying in the camp. I didn't know if they were even alive. Then, I noticed something. The people was following us. I told my dad and he said "I know they noticed that we have some money and they are following us." " Can't we just give them the money?" "They will take our clothes, money, and food. Let us hurry. I know you are sad for them but we can't do anything." I was really sad and I wanted to argue, but I knew that we couldn't do anything. We went to our hotel and I cried for hours... my dad finally said "okay then let us donate part of our money. I poured all my money out and I donated the moey. I was relly proud of myself. l ater on, I did some research abou the place.I found out about these things
Food expenditure for one week: 685 CFA Francs or $1.23
Favorite foods: soup with fresh sheep meat

Once upon a time, there lived a giant called charlie. He loved to say ducaduca.He lived in a beautiful place surroundes by trees. One day, the giant went to the playground and said "ducaduca" Many people came out to see him. They thought he was crazy,but there was a different reason. The giant said he liked to say duka duka, but he picked the wrong place and the wrong time. Actually in the giants language, it meant that everyone will be giants.well unfortunatly, they really became giants. The giant thought he would be happy if they all became giants, but he wasn't. Everyone hated him for turning them into giants.... They revenged... they killed charlie and by doing that the people came back to normal.

The first skill post-edited version
Hello everybody, my name is Taywon and today I will compare and contrast the three camps. Camp Big Apple (CBA), Ranch West Camp (RWC), and Head Start splash (HSS).
Considering the level of the students, I think that HSS is best. CBA would be too much hard. In the advertisement it said that students will prepare for SAT. In my opinion I think that studying SAT in elementary is unnecessary. Also, RWC would be too easy. In the ad it said that students will choose which subject they will study in the camp. Therfore, students could abuse the fact that they could choose and pick the subjects that they do well. There won't be any improvement. In contrast, HSS is learning various subjects with qualified teachers who all have certificates to teach english as a second language. So, I think that HSS will be best considering the level of the program.
Considering the housing enviroment, I think that HSS will be best again. CBA is a dormitory. you will get the least care compared to the other camps. That is because CBA students will be cared by teachers. They can't control and care for all of the students. There would be occasions that students having problems with the air conditioner, lightbulbs and other various things. They might be afraid to tell. The system of care might not be good. RWC looks better you will be in a home-stay situation which you will get care by your home-stay parents. However, there are always possibilities that your parents may not be good to you. You could have disagreements with them. In contrast, in HSS a parent will follow you. Who will take better care for you than your own parents? You will be in good condition. You will also have less stress. Again, I think that HSS is the best camp.
There are bad reasons for HSS too. However, I think that the two things that I have explained earlier is the most important. HSS qualifies these two things. Therefore, I think that HSS is the bet camp.
