每年六月，我们学校都会举办一次二手市场。快毕业的学生把用不着的书、自行车和小家电拿出来卖，价格一般只有新的三分之一。

Every June our university holds a second-hand market. Students about to graduate bring out books, bikes and small appliances they no longer need, usually at a third of the new price.
今年我花了八十块钱买了一个台灯，又花两百块买了一辆自行车。卖自行车的是一位研究生，他告诉我车子虽然旧了，但是每个月都检查，骑起来很轻松。

This year I paid eighty yuan for a desk lamp and two hundred for a bike. The seller of the bike was a postgraduate, who told me that although it was old, he checked it every month and it rode easily.
我觉得二手市场不但能省钱，而且能减少浪费。东西还能用，就应该让它找到新的主人。

I think a second-hand market not only saves money but also cuts down on waste. If something still works, it should find a new owner.
