4. Problems We Had To Overcome

We should work hard on web pages, and also study hard. After all, the task for us to learn is heavier. Secondly, we should thank our instructors for busy working and guiding us. We didn't have much time to collect materials unless we had relatively few scheduled class time, because our school has been adjusted to a boarding school, where we only have summer and winter vacations but no other vacations. Instructors coordinated with our head teacher for long time web pages work, which would not be so each to get teachers to understand. However, we will prove to the teachers with the excellent results that we won't miss courses.
