Suggestions & Implication
• We think that students should set a time table, set goals
for themselves, give themselves more leisure time and
communicate with teachers and parents.
• After analyzing all data, we find that we should not set
too high goals and give too much pressure to ourselves.
Difficulties & Group reflection
• When we were setting research questions
and questionnaire, we had to beware of
overlapping the questions. Also, we had to
pay attention to our grammar .
• We learnt to be more patient when finding
information and group discussion, we had to
check keywords of research questions to see
whether ideas overlapped.
