One, not master on the webpage making, owing to the lack skill in the info-tech class,so Mr. Yan direct us and then, heavy burden in the school, many students works till the 7 pm. Owing to some far students, Mr. Yan has to send them back home one by one, he himself back home about 10 o’clock. Two, hard to interview. Every time, we went to interview will spend Mr. Yan’s money.he will do everything well. So he invite us to eat all the food, though we are happy ,we don’t want him to spend too much. Three, hard to visit. For this festival, its origin and habit cannot be explained by the technicians, because some of them has several saying, such as the duanwu origin, some says it is for quyuan, but we found many in the interview. We start to think that those are wrong. And some others are not clear by the teachers and governments. So we went to the culture museum. When our students get the answer, we are so happy.
