Most notably, such a searching process will be a heavy load for primary school students who are not able to choose the proper keywords because they are not familiar with the knowledge and semantic words about their desired topic. Therefore, in this paper, we will propose a new retrieval interface for primary school students, called leading-question retrieval interface, which applies a series of questions to inquire and analyze the answers from the users to understand their queried intentions. Such an inquiring process is embodied with the spirit of Construction and can omit the difficult task to choose
