Forestry was not only the foundation stone of Taiwan쳌fs economy but also the essential estate when during the time colonized by Japan.

As a result, they combine with their power to put the history as well as the old assets in position, expecting to build another style and features.

4. Problems We Had To Overcome
It took us a lot of time for the subject matter chosen on this time was extensive; relatively, the material area gathered was extensive. Therefore, we gathered and marshaled information continuously at our leisure time, and thanks to the help of the teacher, uncle and aunt in Lin-Tian Mountain that we slowly learned the control of time and arrangement of material from difficulties. Besides looking for material on Internet, the teacher also took us to the library in the afternoon every Wednesday, then we made analysis and comparison through reference books compiled by all organizations. Especially, we acquired more plenty information via the interviews and efforts of some enthusiastic people. In designing homepage, we usually connfornted 쳌gInternet Traffic Jam쳌h, 쳌gCrash쳌h, 쳌gWrong Path쳌h and so on; thus, something unfinished in school, we almost accomplished at home. For this reason, we were very afraid that our domestic computer did not work, especially for the invasion of virus. At school, we made full use of lunch break or ten minutes whenever class finished to write papers, read material or discuss subject matter so that our lessons were not influenced. Especially in this period, some research activities and interviews were completed effectively by using afternoon every Wednesday, holidays and winter vacation. Although we sacrificed part leisure time and had less time to get together, everyone could do his best to achieve everything the teacher stipulated. Moreover, we discussed and communicated with each other via e-mail, telephone, reply, drawing, posting the progress report on Internet and etc.—everything was overcome.
5. Our Project Sound Bite
Time seemed to be not enough; sometimes, we felt so tired. However, we were deeply impressed once thinking of so many people쳌fs help and encouragement, self-challenge in this contest, the perfect cooperation and good friendship between team members. My partners, let쳌fs work hard together. The teacher busily accompanied us to spend these days for research and laid his own business aside to conduct us without end. The spirit of laying down his life for us but not caring for any reward was indeed worthy of our respect and emulation. In the process of learning, we recognized that our learning was more dependable with the help and conduct of experts, scholars and society. Also, we understood the importance of cooperation, responsibility and overcoming difficulty. Therefore, the [Pa-Pa-Go] team of CHU-CHIANG Elementary School was so grateful to these enthusiastic people that we become more mature for your earnest help and encouragement.
