Back in Northern California, a middle school in South San Francisco started a school bookstore this year. Students help operate the store. But mostly the goal is to help them improve their English skills and learn to love reading and literature.

回到北加利福尼亚，旧金山南部的一所初中今年开办了一个学校书店。学生帮助经营书店。不过，开设书店的主要目的是帮助他们提高英语技能并能逐渐爱上阅读和文学。

Test scores at Parkway Heights Middle School have been very low for the last seven years. The students come largely from poor, Spanish-speaking families. Two language arts teachers opened the bookstore in April with a choice of interesting books at good prices. Trish Issac and Swaicha Chanduri received money from Schoolwide, a group that helps schools set up bookstores.

Parkway Heights初中在过去七年中分数一直都很低。该校学生多数来自说西班牙语的低收入家庭。两位语言学老师今年4月开设了这个书店，他们选择了一些价格适中且有趣的书。 Trish Issac和Swaicha Chanduri接受来自Schoolwide的资金。Schoolwide是一个帮助学校建立书店的组织。

Teachers hope the bookstore will be open more than one day a week, especially during summer vacation. The store may be competition for the school library. As one eighth grader noted, the bookstore has new books, and if you want to buy them, you can. Also, the library is very quiet, she says, while the bookstore "seems like a more social area."

老师们希望书店每周开放时间多于1天，尤其是在暑假期间。书店也许会与学校图书馆形成竞争。就像一个8年级学生提到的，书店有新书，而且如果你想买，就可以买。并且，她说，图书馆太安静了，可书店“似乎更像一个社交场合。”
