with one word.
My grandparents live in the countryside. Every year, I spend my whole summer
vacation with them. There are many things I like about life there like the open
space, the friendly villagers and the traditional games children play. There is one
thing which is very different from city life. That is the village open-air market
where the villagers sell their home-made or home-grown products.
Not many people in the village have a fridge, so they go to the market every day
to buy food and other necessary things. They all come from the same village, so
almost everybody knows each other. The market is not just a place for buying and
selling. It is also a place for the villagers to meet and talk. The market brings the
people in the village closer.
