The market is large with many small shops and stalls, making it confusing to navigate, but visitors can look for the clock tower to find their way. In the early morning, the narrow walkways are crowded with shoppers, sellers carrying goods, and vehicles. As the day goes on, the market becomes more crowded and sensory experiences like smells, sights, and sounds overwhelm visitors. It provides a unique experience for tourists and escape for locals.

    The Weekend Market
    Read the short essay below and answer the questions.

    Many tourists I have met have told me that one place they have to go is the weekend
    market. This market is huge and has everything from bags, souvenirs and handicrafts to
    many kinds of animal and many kinds of plants. It also has a fantastic variety of local food. In
    other words, the weekend market is a great place for shopping and experiencing the local
    culture.

    The market is located near the city's main bus station so people
    come from all over the country to buy and sell goods. Moreover, it
    is also near a sky train station and a subway station
    which makes it very convenient for city people, especially young
    people who don't have cars. The market is very large and full of
    hundreds of small shops and stalls. Consequently, it can be
    confusing to get around. However, if you get lost, it is a good idea to
    look for the clock tower which is right in the middle of the market.
    It will help you Find your way.

    When I walk into the market early on a Sunday morning there


    are people and cars and motorcycles everywhere. You have to be
    careful where you walk. Many people are bringing their
    goods to sell in big bags on carts and trolleys. In fact, you might
    even have to jump out of thesellers' way as they charge along the
    narrow walkways with their goods. In addition to the sellers,
    tourists and locals are pouring in looking for something to eat or
    ready to start shopping. As time goes by, the market gets more and
    more crowded and you have to start squeezing past people to
    keep moving.

    As you walk through the market you will experience many


    sensations. For example, there are many smells, scents and aromas.
    One moment you will be smelling the aromas of stir-friend
    cooking dishes from a small restaurant and the next you smell the
    scents of orchids and other Flowers as you pass through the cooler
    and more relaxing garden section. Furthermore, walking
    deeper into the market, your eyes will have trouble recording so
    many products with their many colors, designs and sizes. After a
    while you may feel dizzy and look for a quiet place to have a rest
    and a refreshing drink. Fortunately, there are many small cafes and
    drink stalls selling fresh coconut juice, orange juice or iced water.

    To sum up, a day at the weekend market is both a day of shopping and a unique experience for
    your senses. It is a kind of magical journey that is great as a First experience for tourists and an
    escape from daily life for locals. Moreover, while it is usually hot and crowded, the atmosphere is
    friendly and good-natured.
