Main Ideas in Speaking
Market Voices
At the farmers’ market, Malik says: “Reusable bags make shopping easier and create less waste. They hold lots of produce, and you can bring them each week. Most importantly, using them means fewer single-use bags are needed.” Nia says: “Our market should have a tasting table. Shoppers could try a slice of apple before buying. They might discover a new favourite, and vendors could introduce seasonal foods. The key point is that tasting helps people choose foods they will enjoy.” Hiroshi says: “The market needs clearer signs. Some visitors cannot find the bread stalls or the bus stop. Large signs at the entrances would help people find what they need. Clear directions make a visit less confusing.”
