Subject I am touched
Content We reviewed last week's work and I felt our team didn't proceed smoothly. It is difficult for them who are in the backward western areas to complete such a project.

She provided her computer to the students. And their tools are not good enough. However, they have a strong desire to make the outside world know more about their hometown and perseverance to make things better.
