Do you know second-hand stores can sell super exotic stuff? Recently, our whole class went to Hard-Off. Hard-Off is a store where you can sell stuff and buy second-hand. We can also let people buy stuff they need for a cheaper price. So let's see what happened inside.
Going to Hard-Off and selling our useless stuff told me that, I buy a lot of useless stuff and don’t even use it. I am very thankful that Dr.Lee decided to let us get rid of the trash sitting in my house for the longest time ever. Now that I’ve visited and learned a lesson, I finally stop buying useless stuff.
Hard-Off isn’t the best place to buy stuff, but it is in a cheap range for people who don’t have the money to buy the actual stuff. You can find new stuff there, but usually, it is either worn out or broken. But somehow Hard-Off still accepted the object, so I guess they do have a pretty low standard when it comes to the materials.
So going to Hard-Off is actually a very good place for the environment. Maybe not just Hard-Off, but all second-hand stores. This can reduce the number of useless trash people throw away. But at least reselling the stuff so it can be reused instead of burned and wasted.
Every year the country throws away a lot more useless stuff you think they do. So a second-hand store is probably the best place for your still usable useless stuff to be at. Just like Toy Story, each toy gets resold and is given to a new lovely owner. So treat them as a toy and give them a better place to be instead of getting burned.
近期，我們班前往桃園Hard-Off進行學習與拍攝的活動。 Hard-Off 是一間專門買賣二手貨品的商店，而顧客可以以更便宜的價格購買他們所需要的商品。
參觀完後，再回學校的路上，我開始反思我在Hard-off賣掉的東西。回想起在整理我認為無用的物品時，我發現我買了很多不需要的東西，並被我長期積累在家裡的某個角落。我深刻的體會到我花了很多金錢跟空間給我這些「垃圾」。
Hard-Off 不是購買東西的最佳場所，但對於沒有錢購買實際/新東西的人來說，它的價格便宜。您可以在那裡找到新東西，但通常情況下，它要麼已磨損，要么已損壞。但不知何故，Hard-Off 仍然接受了這些東西，所以我猜他們對於材料方面的標準確實很低。
Hard-Off其實是個很環保的地方。也許不僅僅是Hard-Off，而是所有的二手店。這可以減少人們扔掉的無用垃圾的數量。但至少轉售這些東西，這樣它就可以重複使用，而不是被燒毀和浪費。
每年這個國家扔掉的垃圾量比你想像中的多。因此，二手商店可能是存放您仍然可用的無用物品的最佳場所。就像《玩具總動員》一樣，每個玩具都會轉售並交給一個可愛的新主人。所以把它們當作玩具，給它們一個更好的地方，而不是被燒傷。
