“Come and have a look. My things are really good and cheap!” The sounds are from a middle school in Hunan. It is the school’s flea market（跳蚤市场）. Students like it very much. And they have it on the fourth Friday every month.
At the market, the buyers and sellers are the students of the school. There are books, bags, clothes and many other things on sale. Many students like to go to the market to buy what they need.
The organizers（组织者）think it can help students learn how to get on well with other students. One of the organizers of the activity（活动）says, “On the one hand, our school is a closed-in（封闭的） school. Students at school don’t have what they need sometimes. On the other hand, some students have some things that they don’t need any more. So we want to open this market.”
