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.

A long flight can affect one's biological block, sometimes for days. Air travelers can get very tired and develop unpleasant feelings when they fly great distances across time zones. The natural order of things can become unbalanced on long, overseas trips from east to west or from west to east. This is what we call jet lag. 1.

● Try changing your meal and sleep times before you go

Several days before you travel, start moving your bedtime and hours for meals closer to the times you plan to eat and sleep on your trip.

2.

Change your watch when you get on the airplane. This is playing a trick on the mind. But it can help you to start thinking of the time at the other end of the flight. Try to sleep on the plane if it is nighttime in the place where you are going. Try to stay awake if it is daytime.

● Arrive early

If you are traveling for work or for a personal reason, try to arrive a few days early, if possible. 3.

● Drink water

Drink lots of water before, during, and after your flight. 4. Alcohol and caffeine can interfere with sleep.

● Move around

During your flight, get up and walk around or stretch every so often. 5. Exercise near bedtime can delay sleep, whether on an overseas trip or at home.

A. Play a trick on your watch.

B. This will give your mind and body more time to correct to the new hours.

C. Now the following tips can help you avoid jet lag.

D. Because exercise benefits you a lot after the flight.

E. Avoid drinking alcohol or caffeine a few hours before you plan to sleep.

F. But after you land, avoid heavy exercise near bedtime.

G. Start making small changes while in flight.
