4. Problems We Had To Overcome
First, we participate in website competition for the first time, no experience before, nor do know that middle school students can participate in the international webpage making. This term, introduced by the teacher, in Qianxianwancai publicity, we knew something, enrolled in competition, and step by step into the role. Our interviews, researches often encounter difficulties.Our interviews and survey activities must be made under the teachers guidance, but our guidance teachers have very heavy workload in school, during business hours, the teacher cannot take us out of interviewing, investigation, only took use of a limited number of weekend, working overtime to operate. Despite the difficulties a lot, but in a well preparation and the prior contact, so that our interviews and investigative activities to be carried out smoothly. Time is short, heavy tasks. When we learned that we can participate in this competition, time has arrived in mid-October, at first we confused, all were messes. Later in the 'notification bar', we have scanned the page notices of competition, and several times contacted Qianxiangwancai Zhang Yinghua teacher across networks, only some ideas. And then we start to form team, analysis of local features, resources, and our school's existing difficulties, reference of prize-winning works in recent years, and finally after discussing analysis, determined the theme of our research--local monuments. After a period of investigation, discussion and exchange, we have a clear idea, then advanced towards the right direction. Communicate with Qianxiangwancai barriers. Our teams only in tournaments across network exchanges area communicated with Qianxiangwancai instructors, due to network constraints, exchange is quitely not convenious, only by working in their own homes and communicated with Laura, Zhang Yinghua teacher. There are some unclear issues, the teacher contacted us by phone. Fifth, difficult visiting. In preparation for 'Small Palace'
