Part Four: Monologue
Americans normally shop for food at large grocery stores, but open-air markets have made a comeback in recent years. Farmers bring their fresh produce to these markets, often called Farmer’s Markets, on the weekends.  People prefer to shop for fruits and vegetables in these markets because it is usually fresher than the produce they buy at their local grocery store. In addition, the farmers make more money because they sell the goods directly to the customers. They will often also make fresh fruit jams or candies to make extra money as well. Going to a Farmer’s Market is a lot of fun, you get to wander the stalls and really look for the best food, and they usually have somewhere to buy breakfast as well.
美国人通常会在大型的杂货店购买食物,近些年,露天的集市又有了抬头复苏的趋势。农夫会在周末把他们的新鲜农产品拿到集市贩卖,所以这种集市通常称之为“农夫集市”。因为这些菜蔬通常比人们在当地的食品店购买的蔬菜水果更新鲜,所以他们更愿意在这些集市购买。而且,农夫们直接把产品卖给顾客也可以多赚些钱。他们也会做些新鲜水果酱或糖果来多赚些钱。去“农夫集市”是件非常有趣的事情,徘徊在货摊上,想着要买到最好的食物,而且,还有地方可以买到早餐吃。
