The Weekly Market

Every Saturday, I go to the weekly market in my town. The market is very busy and crowded, but I like it because there is so much to see. There are many stalls with fresh fruit and vegetables, and the colours are beautiful.

My favourite stall sells bread and cakes. The smell is wonderful! The man at the stall is very friendly and he always has a big smile. I usually buy a loaf of bread and a small cake for my family. The market is a great place to be on a sunny Saturday.
