Q3.Are there many street markets in your country?

Q4.What is the difference between street markets and supermarkets?

Q5.Do you prefer shopping in a shopping mall or at a street market?

Ans:Well, supermarkets are self-service stores while markets are places where sellers serve buyers. One more difference is that supermarkets are indoor shops while street markets are located outdoors. Also, the conditions inside supermarkets are more comfortable than those of the street markets, I mean that shops are always warm in winter and cool in summer. And the most important difference, to my mind, is that produce at street markets is more fresh, and sometimes more diverse, than that in supermarkets.

Q7.Do you like going to street markets?

Ans:I do, but not very often. I don't really like crowded and noisy places, but at the same time I adore to buy fresh high-quality products. Oh, I also adore to bargain at the markets, so I'd rather say I like visiting them than not.
