2. Summarise what the new vegetable market is like, and the advantages of the new market in only 2 SMS messages.
3. Each group is to select the best summary among them, and upload it onto the class blog.

The new vegetable market is very nicely located, for it has a huge parking space adjacent to it and prevents crowding of streets. It has an open quadrangle around which stalls have been built. Buyers can pick up trolleys, and, as they move from one stall to another, they pick up the neatly tied packets and pay at the counters of the individual stalls.

This new market has made a lot of difference. It has alleviated the parking problem and has also reduced the filth and smell of rotting vegetables which used to be there in the old market. As vegetables are now weighted and packed and priced, there is no need to bargain or to wait for the produce to be weighed. In fact the market has created a new support system outside with stalls of ice cream and cold drinks. I like to visit this market. Now, shopping for my mother has become a pleasure and no longer a chore.
