Skill Post3

 In writing class, Mr.Reardon gave us a mission "compareand contrast these 3camps.". The camps are, 'Camp Big Apple'(Apple), 'Ranch West Camp'(Ranch), 'Head Start Splash'(Splash). Our group chose 'Ranch West Camp' the best camp. I'll contrast and compare other 2 camps to this camp.

 First,  Apple sleeps in th dormitory but the Ranch do home-stay. I think doing home-stay is good for us because we can learn English more easily. Instead, Apple can increase friendship and cooperations. Also, Apple studies for vocabulary and for SAT. I don't think SAT is not for elemantary school students and for middle school students. On the other hand, they can take SAT more easily and comfortable. However, Ranch can pick a subjet that we want to study. Therefor, we can focus on a subject and be an expert.

 Secondly, the similarities between Apple and Ranch are that we can't stay with one of our family members. Therefor,  we can learn socialskills or cooperations.

 Thirdly, I'll compare Ranch and Splash. In Splash, the teachers are local teachers. That is okay, but they won't know many things and qualities. Alos, they can live with at least one parent. I think that s more safer than being with a family who doesn't know you.

 Last, I'll contrast them. Their similarities are that they study from local univerity teachers and live close to nature.


 I think Ranch is better then the other two camps. the reason is that this camp is not too short and not too long. also, we can focus on a subject that we like. Lastly, we can learn English faster because we live with other family which is that they are Canadians. That's why Ranch s better then Apple and Splash.

Skil post 2

In my writing class, our teacher gave us another mission; summerize and paraphrase. To complete our class's mision, I'll summerize the article named "Shark attack" and "". Secondly, I'll paraphrase an article named "Bear attack" and "".

Summerize: Shark attack
 It is POSSIBLE to get attack by a shark, it is highly unlikely. Even if you see a shark, ot will not attack you. Instead, struck by lightening is more likely. In fact, it is more likely to drown than to be attackes by a shark. There are several ways to reduce the chances when tou meet a shark. First, travel in groups and stay out of water if you have a cut because shark has a good sense of smell.

Paraphrase: Bear attack [6 paragraph]
 To reduce the chances by bear attacking you, you have to travel in groups. Bear don't usually attack people in groups. also  you have to stay calm and try not to run away if you run into a bear.

Summerize: http://www.columbian.com/news/2011/aug/11/vancouver-woman-killed-loose-horse/
 A woman died from loosed horse. She died about half an hour later, according to her husband, who was nearby when the accident occurred. They said “It happens every so often.”. He found her on the ground and bleeding from the mouth. A woman died 30~40 minutes of being kicked. They said, animals aren't predictable even if they are friendly.

Paraphrase: 4th paragraph
 Jerry finished excercising and other horses came back to the barn. He came and saw her bleeding. Paramedics came but it was too late to save her.

Norwegian Forest cat



 HISTORY:
  The exact origin of the Norwegian Forest cat is not known. However, many stories are related to its history. The most plausible of them is the breed being a domestic cat brought to Norway by the Romans. They are also known to solve the rodent problem on the ships of the Vikings during their journeys and are also found in Norwegian fairy tales and mythology. They are known to have the art of disappearing whenever they want. Their coat adapted to the cold weather by growing long and water-resistant over years. In the US, they are known to develop the Main Coon breed. They were exported to the US from Norway in 1979 after the breed had been developed properly.

PERSONALITY:
  They are a very curious, intelligent and active breed. They are one of those cats that keep the playful spirit alive even later in the years. Known by names such as purr box, purr factory, etc tells volumes of its talkative nature. They sound almost like birds when talking to each other. They love playing with their owners especially when they are being chased around. They are very loving and friendly and deeply attach themselves with their owners. They are also very social and love to cuddle with you. They love being with children and other pets also.

  They are suitable as both indoor and outdoor cats. In fact, they make excellent barn cats. They also like to climb around and are good hunters. A climbing device can be installed for them to show their antics and invest their energies on. They are also very patient, making them highly suitable for children. Leaving them for short periods of time is also okay. They can also easily adapt to change and do not get stressed easily.

What the world eats

food hungry canada This picure is the Melansons of Iqluit, Nunavut Territory in Canada.  I'll be this family and write a diary of what i ate.   Referance:http://www.time.com/time/photogallery/0,29307,1645016,00.html


    Title: What I ate.

 Oh my god...... I didn't know I ate this many on one weekend!!!!!
Even though we have 5 family members, I think it's too many.
We ate, fruits, vegetables, meat, cheese, milk, yogart, pizzas, eggs, snacks, and breads.
I found oud out  this is pretty good for our health because, we ate many vegetables and fruits. We didn't know how many we ate when we ate it, but now!!!! WOW!!!!!!!!!!
Next week, we'll eat more vegetablesand fruits for our health.


 Comments: I didn't know people eat that many foods in one week. I want to find out how many food our family eats in one week  and how many kalories. I was surprised when I saw a picture of Japanies food picture because they ate more than Canadians or Americans eat in one week.

 Okay...I finished our mission. Afer doing it, I thought about differances and similarities. It was  difficult to find, but it was fun. Thank you Mr.R!!
