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.
美國人通常會在大型的雜貨店購買食物，近些年，露天的集市又有了擡頭復甦的趨勢。農夫會在週末把他們的新鮮農產品拿到集市販賣，所以這種集市通常稱之爲“農夫集市”。因爲這些菜蔬通常比人們在當地的食品店購買的蔬菜水果更新鮮，所以他們更願意在這些集市購買。而且，農夫們直接把產品賣給顧客也可以多賺些錢。他們也會做些新鮮水果醬或糖果來多賺些錢。去“農夫集市”是件非常有趣的事情，徘徊在貨攤上，想着要買到最好的食物，而且，還有地方可以買到早餐吃。
