< Disagree >

              First, she thinks that online store is more useful than the flea market.

My Opinion 

I felt this discussion was a lot of fun.  I was able to hear the contents smoothly. As Robert says, I thought the discussion preparation should be elaborate. If we don't know the details, we don't feel like agreeing. By holding a flea market, it will be possible to recycle because it will reduce the amount of waste. I thought the topic of this discussion was a very good idea as an activity to improve Apollo Island.
