(保定期末)Have you ever bought second-hand things? Will you choose to buy them? Nowadays, second-hand things are popular.
People have bought more things than they really need in recent years. To live a simple life, some people start selling second-hand things at a low price. The good price catches people’s eye. Buying second-hand things is also good for the environment. Here we interviewed two people.
Zhao Lin, a student, once found some notes in a second-hand book she bought. “Its owner shared her thoughts and hoped I would enjoy the book,” Zhao said. “They are a great inspiration to me. It’s more valuable than a new book.”
