4. Problems We Had To Overcome

From subject selection to undertaking activities, we met a lot of troubles, because we usually stay in the 'ivory tower', and use to live'two line' life, so we have a little time to contact with the outside world, and the collected data is limited. Thanks to the guidance of the teacher's, we find the direction and power. The school computers were less, we can surf online in the spare time of teacher, and the speed is slow, so we make full use of extracurricular time searching for information on the internet. We will ask the teacher when we are not familiar with image processing software and web pages making. Along the way, we have felt a lot, but we think that there must be more ways than troubles, as long as you can bear hardships and stand hard work, willing to use our brains, all of the difficulties can be overcome.
