We really enjoyed taking part in that competition. Webquest gave us new knowledges and taught us a lot about teamwork. We learned how to find information from the Internet and how to design a blog.
We'd like to thank the organizers for giving us such a good opportunity to improve ourselves.


Yours faithfully ,
