At first, we had to coordinate the free time among students. They have to study at school for more than 8 hours. Therefore, it's difficult to find free time to get them together. Fortunately, our school's Winter vacation came and this problem seems to be solved. Second, the articles revision and web design layouts were slow. However, we will try to make our pace faster before the due date.
