Question

【题目】The Farmers’ Fresh Market

This morning，I went to the Farmers Market in Burlington ，Vermont. I didn’t know what the Farmers Market is or how to get there. 【1】

First ，I had to decide how to go there，and I chose both to walk and to take a bus. When I went，I would walk and when I came back，I would take a bus. 【2】

Walking to the market in this city，I was surprised because every house was beautiful，and they were all arranged in good order. In Korea’s cities，most houses are not like that，and many apartments are like boxes which often screen off beautiful views like hills and mountains. Also，every road is not straight and narrow. 【3】

【4】It was a very small market，but a very interesting one. I don’t know why farmers go there to sell vegetables or why people go there to buy them because there are many more products in large supermarkets. 【5】

Also ，all the things sold there were very novel. In addition to fresh food，there was homemade food and many other things such as woolen blankets，quilts ，and wooden products.

I wanted to buy some of them，but I didn’t need them，so I just looked at them. It was a very exciting experience.

A. I visited a flower stand at the market.

B. Anyway，I was able to find the Farmers’ Market.

C. So, to me, this American town was very impressive.

D. I decided to go early because the market is held in the morning.

E. I knew that it would take a long time to walk，but I wanted to see an American town.

F. I was attracted by the comfortable houses where they lived and the cars that they drove.

G. I think the reason is that the ones sold in the Farmers’ Market are fresher and cheaper.
