I believe that when you are a child, you must have some toys that you don't play with or toys that you don't want to play with, and I also have a lot of small toys or things in my room that have not been played or used. So my cupboard will be messy. When I was a child, I would try to persuade my mother to let me leave these things behind, and when I grew up, I loved to be clean, so I would clean regularly, and in the process of cleaning, I would find more clothes that I couldn't wear or toys that I didn't want to play, and finally, I put it together and threw it away or gave it to the neighbors.

We went to hard-off this semester, he was a second-hand store this time we went to have a similar task, is to sell their own things that they don't need or use, I really took it to sell some puzzles that I didn't want to play, so they bought my puzzles and then sold them to people who needed puzzles more, where things are not necessarily the best and not necessarily brand new, But he can make my stuff a little more valuable, where he won't buy your stuff at too high a price because instead of letting you buy something, he lets you know what you don't need.

If you really have something you don't need in your house but things are still very new, I would very much recommend that you take them to hard off because you are not only helping you to buy things you don't want but if you take them there, something that may be very useless to you may be useful in the eyes of others.

One of the reasons we've been talking about what value is is that we want to protect the planet and where we're going to protect it. One way is to reduce the things we don't need, so the teacher will ask us why we bought the thing in the first place and what the value and meaning of the thing are to us now. Sometimes I can't tell it myself. It is possible to buy this thing just on impulse, but it may be that this thing is garbage. I may not know much about how garbage is disposed of in Taiwan, but I don't buy things indiscriminately because it is possible that their impulsive impulse will cause damage to the earth.

Everyone is different, don't want it because others have it, so that what you buy may be something you don't like and it's just temporary unless you really like it very much, and if you don't like it and then he becomes a garbage, the reason why we get our unwanted or incomplete toys is to make the earth cleaner

相信大家小時候一定有一些不玩的玩具或不想玩的玩具，我也是在我的房間裡也有很多已經不玩或不用的小玩具或東西。所以我的櫃子裏就會很亂。小時候都會想辦法說服媽媽讓我把這些東西留下來，到了長大就比較愛乾淨所以會定期打掃，在打掃的過程中會發現比較多穿不下的衣服或者是不想玩的玩具，最後把它整理在一起丟掉或者是給鄰居。

我們在這學期去了hard-off，他是一家二手商店這次我們去有一像任務，就是要把自己不需要或用不到的東西賣掉，我真的拿去賣了一些我不想要玩的拼圖，所以他們就收買了我的拼圖，之後賣給更需要拼圖的人，在那裡的東西不一定是最好的也不一定是全新的，但他卻可以讓我的東西變得有價值一些，在那裡他不會用太高的價格購買你的東西因為他不是讓你買東西而是讓你知道什麼東西是你不需要的。

如果你們家裡真的有一些不需要的東西可是東西都還很新的話，我非常建議你們把他們拿去hardoff因為你不僅是幫助你把你不要的東西買來，而且如果你拿去那裡的話可能對你來說很沒用的東西在別人眼中可能很有用.

我們一直在談論什麼是價值的其中一個原因是我們要保護地球，以及我們要從什麼地方去保護地球。其中一個方法是減少不需要的東西，所以老師會問我們我們當初買這個東西的理由和這個東西現在對我們的價值和意義在哪。有些時候自己也講不出來，有可能買這個東西只是一時的衝動就買了但可能這個東西很垃圾。身在台灣的我可能都沒有很了解垃圾是如何被處理的但知道了之後我就不太會亂買東西，因為有可能他們一時的衝動就造成地球的一次傷害。

每個人都是不一樣的，不要因為別人有所以自己也想要，這樣子你買的東西有可能是你不喜歡的而且那只是一時的除非你真的非常喜歡，而且如果不喜歡丟掉了之後他又變成一個垃圾，我們之所以把自己不需要或不完的玩具拿到hard off 是因為讓地球變得更乾淨
