Part 3 Reading Comprehension
Read the following text.
SuperCamp
SuperCamp was one of the greatest learning experiences of my life, aside from being the greatest camp
experience Ive ever had. I went to the camp in California. (SuperCamp is offered at a number of places
including Westfield State College in Massachusetts.) Arriving at camp that first day was as though I had
entered a temporary family. I was pretty nervous, being 3000 miles away from home and not knowing
anyone, but both the counsellors and campers made me feel right at home.

Memorizing lists by singing them as the lyrics of my favourite songs seemed like it wouldnt work, but
it did! There are so many little tricks which I picked up that have helped me speed up the time it takes to
do my homework while increasing the quality of my work.
Rope climbing and tight rope walking helped me dig down inside myself and overcome my fears: to
try to do those things that are more challenging for me. The most influential thing that SuperCamp
taught me was that what I do can make a difference not just for myself, but for other people. SuperCamp
helped me to become aware of my strengths and how to use them to overcome my weaknesses and
excel. The friends I made at camp were among the best Ive ever had. After two years, I still keep in
touch with one of my counsellors.
I have been accepted by two very good colleges and feel that SuperCamp played a very important
part in those acceptances. SuperCamp showed me who I am, how to use my abilities and to set goals. I
learned to set goals to "go for" each day. It was not only a great learning experience but also the most
fun summertime trip. Thank you, SuperCamp, for everything.
