Attainment report Yong-Sheng Huang The topic we chose for this Cyberfair project was to get to know our neighboring business: “San-Hao Rice,” so we worked around the topic, put our heads together, and thought about how we could accomplish our mission using the resources we have. On our way to accomplishing our mission, we had to rely on team work, and I learnt a lot about progress, planning, and time management. Aside from getting to know the business culture of “San-Hao Rice,” I also found myself to be much improved. 　 Chen-hsuan Chan When we interviewed the owner of San-Hao, I discovered that he wasn’t as serious as I thought he would be, because it was he himself that gave us a tour of his factory, and told us some of their secrets! All of the products at San-Hao are the real thing as well as being completely trustworthy. The owner explained in great detail the entire production process of rice from planting to packaging, and brought us into the factory to see for ourselves. After we entered the factory, I discovered that the machinery was like nothing I had imagined, they were so complicated and powerful! The encouragements Chairman Chen gave us were all very important, we not only need to remember everything he said, but also try to put them into practice. 　 Chi-chang Tsai In my participation of the Cyberfair project, my biggest inspiration came from the importance of team work, and how that can be achieved only through good communication and well organized meetings and progress. As a team leader, my mission was to lead my teammates and coordinate their tasks, this gave me good experience and I feel I have learnt a lot. As for my own time management, I learnt how to complete a task more efficiently, how to arrange and execute my plans, to accept challenges and use them to advantage, so that I am discovering my own potential all the while; I’d like to thank my classmates for their cooperation and assistance, I have really learnt a lot! 　 Kai-lu Wang After participating in the Cyberfair project, I feel so rewarded, and am particularly impressed by the business theory of “San-Hao Rice.” “San-Hao Rice” is managed by a family of five brothers, who started their business with two rice packing factories located on either shore of the Chuoshui River. In their nearly thirty years of hard work, they have continually invested professionalized equipment and technologies for research and development, production, management as well as marketing, and all of it has paid off into their success of today. I feel really touched by their business theory of professionalism and insistence, and hope that I will by guided by these theories in the future. 　 Chi-wei Chan The one thing I learnt the most in this past period of time was computing skills. I used to know only the slightest basics of computer and word processing skills, and actually thought myself pretty good. In our process of interview and post-production, I not only learned how to use a digital camera, but also how to process images on the computer and to produce a basic webpage. It was so incredibly rewarding to see the work I had done appear on the computer, and I’d like to thank my teachers for giving me patient advise, as well as for letting me learn a lesson in not being “over-confident.” 　 Pai-tse Chen My participation in the Cyberfair project has taught me a valuable lesson in “cherishing my blessings.” I used to see the rice fields near my home and school, but because they are common sights in the countryside, to not think much of them. However, after I visited the “San-Hao Rice” Enterprise, I became truly touched by their business theory and their perseverance in producing superior quality rice. I learnt that the small grains of rice we see or eat are available to us only because countless people have given their hard work and uncompromising perseverance. I learnt to respect the seemingly unexceptional “common people,” and furthermore to feel pride in my hometown—Chutang Township. Now, it is no longer just another common farming village, but is the birthplace of the rice that provides us with nourishment! 　 Si-yu Huang In this Cyberfair project, I was responsible for the interviews. To tell the truth, I was very much scared of this task at the beginning, because I felt that I wasn’t very brave, and was worried I couldn’t do the job well. But after I had gone through the entire interview progress, I gradually conquered my fears with encouragement from my teacher, and began to speak more fluently and become more relaxed. Then my teacher told me she intended that I should take this opportunity to test my courage, and by doing so, to grow and learn. So this series of activities not only provided a chance for me to get to know my hometown better, but also to conquer my inner fears, and I feel so proud to have accomplished both! 　 Yi-chi Chen About the gigantic buildings sitting just outside of our campus—“San-Hao Rice” Enterprise, I only used to think that their buildings were large, many trucks went past on their behalf; that farmers were hard working, busy people with lots of dirt on their clothes. Yet, I really didn’t know anything about what “San-Hao Rice” and the farmers really do. After our teacher brought us to visit the enterprise and see for ourselves, I finally understood the business culture of San-Hao Rice, how they distribute their products, and how difficult it was to manage a good business. When we visited the home of the winner of the “Superior Quality Rice” National Award, Mr. Tsai, we learnt even more about what farmers’ jobs are like, that farming is as much a science as we thought only scientists had to follow. All of this caused me to feel the greatest respect for the farmers of our country, as well as feeling greatly rewarded for having learnt so many things. 　 Yong-sheng Huang My participation in the Cyberfair project has not only allowed me to further understand the industry of my hometown, I also gained much in learning the knacks of “team work.” In the past, I used to think that it was easier for me to work by myself, and I wasn’t very willing to communicate with others in order to accomplish any tasks. This time, when we were doing interviews and producing our project reports, I realized that I could never do so much alone, that communication wasn’t as hard as I imagined once I’d tried doing it with my classmates, that all I need to do was open my mind, and not only jobs well done but friendships also were my reward! 　 Yi-pai Chan The interview subject we had for this Cyberfair project was “San-Hao Rice,” and because San-Hao Rice is situated right next to our school, as well as from a wish to learn a little more about the industry of our hometown, I decided right away to join in the Cyberfair project. In the process of our research there were several times I wanted to give up, because the research became harder and harder and more tiring, but I carried on with encouragement from my teammates. In the past, I knew little about how computer programs worked, but in the process of working on the project, I learned how to design a webpage, as well as the importance of copyright. I’m glad I decided to stay on, because I feel I have gained a lot from this experience. Now I think that the Cyberfair project’s true purpose is to teach team members mutual trust, mutual understanding, and to learn more about our hometown! I feel really rewarded for having taken part in the Cyberfair project, and hope to do it again!
