学生Cici选择制作一款原创香水产品来作为MYP个人设计项目的主题。在展示会上，她分享此次主题的灵感来源是她热爱香水的母亲，这驱使着她去了解不同类型的香水及其运作原理。Cici在寻找制作精油方法的过程中遇到了一些困难，但她凭借着批判性思维和研究技能，让一切问题迎刃而解，最终成功地完成了这一项目。

Cici chose to make an original perfume for her MYP Personal Project. Her love for perfumes, instilled by her mother, drove her to understand the different types of fragrances and how they work. Cici faced difficulties in finding the appropriate way to make essential oils, but with her critical thinking and research skills, she successfully managed to complete the project on time.

问： 在这个项目中，你遇到了什么困难，以及如何克服这些困难？

Cici： 最初，找到正确的方法来制作精油对我来说是一项很大的挑战。在尝试了各式各样的方法后，蒸馏法被证明是最好的方法，但是它至少需要五个小时才能提炼出精油。为了解决这一时间问题，我做了一些调研，发现使用煤气加热蒸馏瓶会比电磁炉快得多。因此，我最终采用了煤气加热法，节省了许多时间。我想这是我在项目中所遇到的一项较大的挑战。

Question:What hardships did you face during the project and how did you overcome them?

Cici: Initially, finding the appropriate method to make essential oil was challenging. After trying different ways, distillation proved to be the best method, although it took at least five hours to produce the oil. To address this issue, I researched and discovered that using gas to heat the distillation flask was quicker than an electromagnetic furnace. Consequently, I opted to use coal gas, which was much faster. This was a significant challenge encountered during the project.

在MYP个人设计项目中，学生Iris选择了学习吉他和举办个人演奏会作为主题。作为一个零基础的吉他初学者，她面临着重重压力，但凭借着坚定的毅力和强大的ATL学习技能，她战胜了紧张的时间线、变化多端的过程和反复练习的枯燥。她的努力得到了回报——她在TWIS中国新年晚会、东莞圣诞集市和个人音乐会等活动上的表演赢得了众多观众的掌声。

Iris pursued learning the guitar and holding concerts for her MYP Personal Project. Despite starting from scratch as a beginner in guitar, Iris presevered and navigated through deadlines, changes, and endless hours of practice. Her hard work paid off when she wowed audiences at events like TWIS Chinese New Year Gala, Dongguan Christmas Bazaar, and her own personal concert at school.

问： 在完成个人设计项目的过程中，有哪些人为你提供了帮助？

Ryan： 我要感谢我的导师Mr. Anar，他教会我如何使用3D打印机，并对我的个人设计项目提出宝贵的建议。同时，感谢我们的MYP协调员Mr. PJ帮助我们检查产品质量，并提供许多项目细节给我们。另外，DP大学预科项目一年级的学生Hao也给我推荐了许多编程教程和自学网站。最后，感谢我的父母、朋友和老师在困难时期对我的支持。没有他们，我的项目可能不会成功。

Question:Who would you like to thank for helping you with your project?

Ryan:I want to thank my supervisor Mr. Anar for teaching me how to use the 3D printer and giving me advice on my personal project. Also, thanks to our MYP coordinator Mr. PJ for reviewing the quality of our work and providing details on official specifications. DP1 Hao gave me programming advice and recommended self-learning websites. Finally, thanks to my parents, friends, and teachers for their support during difficult times.

问： 在完成个人设计项目的过程中，你遇到过什么困难？

Wendi：在个人项目期间，我几乎没有睡过一个好觉，因为我一直在想未完成的作品。然而，我激励自己，完成它就能结束这种压力。我最终坚持下来，还学会了即使在困难的时候，也要不断地努力。如果再给我一次机会，我会选择做2D游戏，因为3D游戏对我这样的初学者来说充满了挑战性。此外，我也意识到时间管理的重要性，以及日积月累的实践才是获得成功的关键。

Question:What difficulties did you face during your personal project?

Wendi:During the Personal Project,I hardly ever got a good night"s sleep because I was constantly thinking about the unfinished work. However, I reminded myself that completing it would put an end to the stress. I persevered through this and learned that it"s important to keep pushing yourself even when the going gets tough. If given another chance, I would choose to do 2D games because 3D games are more challenging for beginners like me. Additionally, I realized the importance of time management and daily planning in achieving success.
