Reason for interest in the project
106 students who participate in this project are first-year high school students from all 18 different classes in our school. They are divided into three classrooms and meet weekly for one hour. Generally, students in my school are under great academic pressure. This is the only class they can feel less pressure to learn what really interest them. Therefore, I decided to guide them to participate in this project so that they can not only practice English and computer skills but also benefit from the interaction with students from abroad.
