1. What do street markets sell?

Street markets sell a variety of different things. There are street markets which sell fresh food and produce to local people and restaurants alike. There are also markets where people can buy clothes, souvenirs (纪念品）and other commodities (日用品）.However，my favourite type of street market are the street food markets, where you can buy cheap hot meals to have for your lunch or dinner.

2. Are there many street markets in China?

Street markets are very common in China especially for food. In *all villages and large towns, the street markets are always full of people buying food and household items. The produce and commodities on offer (*中的）are always good value as well. Street markets are really common because Chinese people like things which are good value for money. However, in large cities such as Beijing it is becoming a lot more common for people to shop in supermarkets instead of street markets.

3. What are the differences between street markets and supermarkets?

There are a lot of differences between street markets and supermarkets. Supermarkets are often a lot more convenient than street markets as everything you need to buy can be found in one place. Furthermore，supermarkets often stock (备有）a wider range of products so there are more things for you to buy. However, street markets can often be cheaper and also support *aller owned local businesses. So, I think it is better to use street markets.

4.Do you often go to the supermarkets?

I try not to go to the supermarket very often. Personally, I prefer shopping at street markets as I like to support *all local businesses and I also have a good relationship with many of the street vendors (*者）there. However, every once in a while (每隔一段时间），Ineed to buy something which I cannot find at the street market and therefore I have to go to the supermarket. So, I would say that I probably go to the supermarket once every fortnight ( 两周）.
