8 . Fantastic flea market

As we start a brand new semester, we’re ready to push hard again. As an old saying goes: A handy tool makes a handy man. So, before burying ourselves in piles of books and assignments, we should get some new equipment. A perfect place for me to do this was at my school’s flea market during the summer holiday.

It was a sunny afternoon, and sunshine filled the campus. My fellow students and I rushed into the playground as soon as the bell rang, yelling and laughing. All the sellers were sitting at tables filled with second-hand books, stationery, and even handcrafted goods.

The flea market is an annual activity at my high school, but this was the first time I’d visited it. On the day, I bought two books for the coming semester from some graduates, who were full of passion for passing on their knowledge.

I tried to bargain with them and ended up with a 20 percent discount — I even asked for some advice on study methods. Although some of the books had turned yellow, I still felt happy about the experience.

Pacing back and forth past the stalls (摊位), I suddenly understood the value of flea markets and the reason why they’ve remained popular. For one thing, it’s a platform for selling and buying. People can sell things they don’t need any more or buy things at a lower price. For another, it also offers a channel of communication and is a great way to meet new people.

It may be going a bit too far to say that this flea market introduced me to a brand new way of life. However, it can’t be overlooked that this little market indeed brought great things into my life — old books and new friends.
