❖ Answers
➢ What is the difference between street markets and supermarkets?
Well, supermarkets are self-service stores while markets are places where
sellers serve buyers. One more difference is that supermarkets are indoor
shops while street markets are located outdoors. Also, the conditions inside
supermarkets are more comfortable than those of the street markets, I mean
that shops are always warm in winter and cool in summer. And the most

important difference, to my mind, is that produce at street markets is more
fresh, and sometimes more diverse, than that in supermarkets.
