Some people prefer to shop for fruit and vegetables in supermarket chains. Others prefer outdoor markets. Which do you think is better and why? Use specific reasons and examples to support your preference.
(M) Personally, I prefer to shop for my fruits and vegetables at outdoor markets instead of at supermarkets. (T) The first reason is that (R1) the produce I purchase at outdoor markets is often fresher than the produce sold at supermarkets. (E1) For example, many times, the people selling the fruits and vegetables are the farmers who grew the products. Since they came straight from the farm, I know that they’re fresh. (T2) Another important thing is that (R2) you can often negotiate the price at outdoor markets, which is something you can’t do when you shop at supermarkets. (E2) By negotiating the price, this lets you save money, especially when you buy large amounts of produce.
