Finally, the Taipei 101 research project has come to an end. Six months of good times have ended just like the 128-second firework display that took place at Taipei 101 on New Year’s Eve. It left me a great experience in my life.

Ms. Wang has taught many school mates to create Cyber Fair projects. However, we were the youngest among the groups; most of us were not familiar with computer operations. Thus, our instructor designed a set of simple worksheets to help us complete our mission. Though I have studied English for many years, the past 6 months helped me to put my language skill into real practice as I surveyed foreigners.

The Fantastic 9 had left great impressions on many visitors. The worksheets were like our summer assignments; however, we had to come up with our own questions and answer them ourselves. We also had to analyze the results. Our instructor worried that essays and paintings would be too difficult for us. Thus she let us produce children’s poetry and paintings on anything we could think of related to the Taipei 101 building. This approach made us feel contented.

It took about 9-10 years to build and open Taipei 101, and it’s about our age. Taipei 101 and we grew up together! This research project offered us opportunities to become familiar with Taipei 101 and its surroundings. It also offered us the knowledge that is not written in the textbooks.

I remember during the trip I took with my older brother to Paris, France, we interviewed many locals there. However, many people have never been to Taipei nor Taipei 101. We hope our 6 months of effort will allow more people to know about Taipei 101.

Architect Mr. Chung-Ping Wang said, the world’s tallest building record of Taipei 101 will be replaced in the near future. However, in our heart, she will always be our lovely Taipei 101.
