When we were having classes, the interviewees were working. When after school, they had to go home after come off work and so on. In order to interview the interviewees and take good picuturs, we used our weekends to do it.

Through this practice, we not only improved our network skills, but also improved our collecting and processing information ability, these all can’t learn from books.

We contacted with the interviewee with telephone, searched for data, had investigation to residents around Xilai Town, exclusive interviewed all kinds of shop owners and so on to accomplish the first-hand data, used Photoshop to process pictures and finish the production under the teachers’ guidance.

Through this activity, people all cleared about the improvement of life quality cannot separate with environment and the real meaning that our country promoted standardized agriculture manufacture. At the same time, we deeply felt that environment protection could not just stop on words but need everyone’s effort. In order to let our living nature and life quality coordinated develop, we should no longer be insensitive, we need to practice personally and publicizing practically.

4) How did your project involve other members of your community as helpers and volunteers?

Our works were bittersweet, but we felt sincerely happy from our heart. Many interesting things happened such as, when we taking photos about the standardized agriculture results in fruit garden, the owner Xu Tao regarded us as thief and not allowed us to the field. This was caused by not explaining our purpose before our coming. After understanding our real purpose, he was very happy to coordinate with our interview and wanted to send some eggplants and peppers in his garden to us. And for example that when we personally picking roadside litters, several children joined us voluntarily, we felt a great sense of achievement.

5) Discoveries, Lessons and Surprises (Optional)

Be earnest and never impulsive when doing things, only if you follow the project will the task finish successfully.
