4. Problems We Had To Overcome

Because it was the first time for us to go out of school to take part in social practice activity, so we can not choose interview object freely, we are also doubted by others; because we do not have an empirical interview, job interview notes and points are not clear, interview can not cut to the chase directly; because we were students, we were so nervous that tourists and local residents refused our interview, all of them were not willing to offer information to us. After coming back, through our summary and study, we took the prepared questions in the second time, we had a generous and friendly communication with local residents, and we felt gratified that the effect was very good. Because it is the first time to take part in competition, the project production process arrangement is not reasonable, such as didn’t determine the site columns in advance, it led the result that we didn’t know how to choose when we were collating information and interview records, classification was disorganized, it made a big trouble to make the website; in normal learning, we were skilled with the software we learned, but we didn’t use it in practice, in the project process, we were often puzzled because we were not familiar with the software, after the teacher repeated guidance and demonstration, we continued to practice, finally mastered the skills skillfully.
