We also encounter a lot of difficulties in the process of collecting material and making webpage. In the process of collecting material, in order to understand the wetland situation and take good photos, we hiked to visit all the wetlands of the Yellow River in Heyin area Guide, there is blister on the foot every time when we go out to investigate, I felt very hard at that time, but the teacher told us a lot of knowledge, still taught us to bake sweet potato in the field, which made our visit course was full of happiness. My classmates said that they not only enjoyed the beauty of nature, but also learned a lot of knowledge without on textbooks through this activity. In addition, we should not only make webpage conscientiously, but also improve our study. After all, we just go into grade seven, this year is more important for us, learning tasks are more than primary school, so teachers can only occupy our weekend time, to take us to visit, so we have less time to collect materials, we make webpage at home on Sunday through training of teacher, questions you don’t know can be asked to the teacher by telephone, teachers give us the patient guide; secondly, our teacher is very busy with many classes, there is the teacher's companion and guide in the whole process of webpage making, they must be very hard, thanks to them here. Even though there were some hardships, in the process of collecting material, we also enriched a lot of knowledge, and knew protection and development is utilizing core of Huang Heqing wetland in Guide County Qinghai province. Through social participation and scientific management, to protect the wetland ecosystem, go on maintaining a variety of benefits of wetland, keep the harmonious coexistence between man and nature. So we need to protect her. Although we encountered some difficulties on the way, we learn a lot of things without on the books.
