We went far away from school to interview, students had class from Monday to Saturday, we can only interview on Sunday, so we could not guarantee that the people we want to interview was free, we only could make a appointment with them and went there next time. However, when they heard that we are teacher and students , the local farmers are very kind.

The school had less opportunity to organize students in extracurricular study, our group organized students to spend a very long time to complete a study on a topic and presented it by a homepage, this has provided the related experience to our school's other group study. At the same time, we made our own effort in promoting the local agricultural product, we felt very happy. To help others is to help us!
