Every afternoon at nearly 2 o'clock, she runs to a store at her school. But she is not running to buy things. Instead, she works as the storekeeper.“I didn't know that it took so much work. I've never really done something like this,”In fact, she is one of the 12 volunteer staff members at Bison Bargains. It is the school's first store run by students. It started on Feb.22, and it opens each school day during break time from 2 to 2:30 p.m. It mainly sells stationery(文具）and snacks.The school wants to provide the students with a real-life business experience through this. Christian Ilg, 14, a ninth-grader, was really surprised by how hard it was not to make mistakes and do the transactions(交易）.“It's kind of a challenge to learn all the information on the lists and remember all the prices of the products,”To learn about business, the students took a special class.

It was nearing the New Year when I arrived in Madrid for the first time. While traveling to my Spanish friend'shouse in a taxi, I noticed the tall gates of what seemed like a large park. My friend just happened to live next to this park. I was surprised by its size and design.There are endless amounts of restaurants and bars of all cultures to choose from. If you are really into sightseeing, 1 hope you have rechargeable batteries(充电电池) for your digital camera because it is really impossible to see everything in a week's time. From the number of art, science, and historical museums to the parks, buildings, bull fights, and amazing land features, sightseeing can easily tire you out.What I liked best about life in Madrid was the fact that if you are sad with school work and want to have some fun, you can easily go out. The night life never stops. The people are friendly. You can meet people and practice the Spanish language while having fun at the same time. What I liked least was the fact that many people smoke in the streets. I didn't like that much, and coming from the U.S., I was used to a big breakfast, and while living with an actual Spanish family, I wasn't really satisfied.I think I have become more independent over my time here. Living in a big city like Madrid I found that it is necessary to plan ahead and schedule future events. There is so much to see, not just the Spanish World, but the European World as well.52.
