The EB type contact binaries show large temperature difference $(\mid\bigtriangleup T\mid\geq1,000K)$ between two components. Thus we have modified the mode 3 of the WD program to adjust albedos, limb darkening coefficients and gravity darkening exponents for both components of such binaries, while the values for those parameters should be same for both components in the original WD program. Both of the modified and the original versions have been applied to the EB type contact binaries such as DO Cas, GO Cyg, and FS Lup. The computed light curves with modified version fit better to the observations.

New BVR CCD photometric observations of EB type close binary V388 Cyg were obtained at the Sobaeksan Astronomy Observatory during 10 nights from October to December 1995. We analyse new 3 color (B, V & R) light curves simultaneously using the Wilson-Devinney code. Now, it is not yet clear whether V388 Cyg is contact or semidetached system. Published epochs of times of minima to data were used to study the changes in period of the system, and calculated a new light elements with the secular terms, $-4.83{\times}10^{-10}$, which indicated the continuous decrease of the period.

The BVR CCD full light curves of ZZ Aur were obtained as one of the near-contact binary observing programs at the Sobaek Mt. Observatory during Feb. 2000 - Feb. 2001. From the present observations, three primary and seven secondary times of minimum light were obtained. The photometric solutions have been found using the Wilson and Divenny model.
