Every year I go to a winter camp and I always bring my little cousin, Hyun Tae. Last winter we got on a bus and went to a ski resort. The problem was Hyun Tae didn't really know how to ski. We practiced together on the easy hill for a while but it was so flat and I wanted a thrill, so I went to the difficult part of the mountain. After about 40 minutes I realized, 'OH NO', I had forgotten all about Hyun Tae! I went back to the bottom of the mountain again, but I couldn’t find him anywhere!

Finally, I rode the chairlift up and slid slowly down the mountain looking all around for Hyun Tae through my big bug-eyed goggles. I was nervous until I got to the bottom and I saw him sitting on a bench crying. I felt terrible! So I bought him a big sausage to eat. I blinked and when I opened my eyes the whole sausage was gone! For a second I thought I had fallen asleep, but he just ate it THAT fast.

The next big winter camp adventure was an ATV ride on the snowy mountain near the camp. We drove all the way to the summit and we saw all the beautiful icy mountains around us. From the top we drove down the mountain at lightning speed. It was thrilling but it also made me nervous, so I held on to the driver very tightly.

After that, the camp leader told us it was time to go home. Camp is always fun but I also feel happy to return home each year.  Overall I think winter is a good season to go to camp and try exciting new things.

Last summer I went to an English camp. It was really far away from my house. I was half scared and half excited. My dad said don't worry it will be good. You can learn a lot more about English. The hotel room was very big. It was so hot that when I turned on the air conditioner it didn't work well, so I slept outside. That night, I was so furious I went to the front desk and shouted, "Why is the A/C not working!?" The front desk said, "Sorry, we you can't turn on the air conditioner, I'm so sorry." That night I was missing my mom and I cried a lot. I called her at 4:30am. She was sleeping, but answered my call. I said, "Oh sorry Mom, but I miss you a lot! But the teacher came and told me that it would only be two weeks and I could enjoy my time.

 

I liked lunch time a lot because there was american food. For example, there was fish-n-chips, steak, corn, and cereal. I especially liked the steak. However, I really missed kimchi. One thing I was so surprised by was that I studied Law and university level science. There was so much homework that I couldn't even sleep.

 

The first friday was Friday the 13th. There was a big party with a zombie room, ghost room, and mummie room. My teacher told me to take one sticker from the T.V. Every time I took a sticker I got a point. It was hard to find the T.V. in every room. I had to go quickly and quietly inside each room so I didn't disturb the monsters. The zombie room was especially scary, because if I was touched by the zombie then I would also become one. I got two points that means I didn't go to jail. 

 

The next day was Saturday and I did an English level test. I scored the highest. Everyone saw me and clapped. The next day we went to the swimming pool and I thought the pool was very deep, but it was not deep. It was only one meter. Someone peed in the pool and I could see the yellow water around him. I ran out of the pool and I said to my teacher, “Oh no, he peed in there!” So we stopped playing in the pool and went back to the hotel. It was the last day and I was delighted because I ate toast, rice cakes, spaghetti, chicken, and even kimchi. I got a USB flash drive from the camp and then went home.
