1. Description of Our Community
Kaohsiung is one of the most prosperous cities in Taiwan. To become such a flourishing city, a substantial developing proposition should and had been well prepared. Dating back to the 1960s, our government promoted an export policy, which encouraged factories to export their products to avoid product overflow the domestic market. Concurrently, Kaohsiung’s industry took off successfully. However, the more thriving our industry is, the more pollution we create. Air pollution has now become the most severe pollution in Kaohsiung. Initially, it only influenced people who have sensitive or allergic physiques. Nonetheless, when it comes to winter, air pollution would be so serious that sometimes it feels like a mist has surrounded the whole city and the outline of buildings became indistinct. The issue of air pollution should not be ignored, as it calls for great attention from everyone of us.

4. Problems We Had To Overcome
In the process of working on the project, we have encountered some difficulties. The first one was technical issues like typing computer code. Computer code is the root of our website since any tiny bug might devastate it, no mistake is allowed. Every time we came into this kind of situation, we discuss the problem together, look it up on the internet, or ask teachers for help. Second, it was the translation that kept bothering us. After collecting information in Chinese, we have to translate them into English to set the website's English version. It was a tough task for us since our English level is quite worrying and the content was so massive that it was hard to organize and arrange in a foreign language. We took advice from English teachers, proofreading data over and over again to assure accuracy. Third, we lack time for discussion. The only ration time we got was lunch break. We focused on every meeting we had aiming to offer high efficiency, concentrating on our tasks to do more things in a limited time. We practically realized the significance of time management in this extraordinary event.
5. Our Project Sound Bite

6. How did your activities and research for this CyberFair Project support standards, required coursework and curriculum standards?
Our school, National Feng-Shan Senior High School, emphasizes international perspective expansion. This project is especially the best method to broaden our horizons. From material seeking to web page designing, we have collected many domestic and foreign information and the opinions of people from different countries. In this case, we learned how to examine things from a different point of view. However, apart from expanding the global view, we have also dealt with group work issues. While working on the project, our team has gradually established consensus through continuous communication and assistance from each other. During our team cooperation, we learned that listening to everyone's opinions patiently is a vital element to promote group cohesiveness.
