bargain, safe from heat and rain, no need to travel to multiple shops.
Disadvantages: unnecessary shopping because of discounts and convenience.

Advantages: you can bargain, sellers can share advice about the things you buy, you can taste what you buy
(bread, fruits…), develop close relations between sellers and buyers.

items, affected by the weather (hot, rainy, snowy…), often lacks parking lots.

Writing

WRITING
Sample writing:
I often go shopping at the open-air market near my house. However, there are
some things I do not like about it. Firstly, it is outdoor. On rainy or hot days, it is
uncomfortable to shop. Secondly, the sellers usually ask for a higher price than the
value of the goods, so you have to bargain. It is not easy if you do not know the
actual price of an item. Another disadvantage is hygiene. Fresh products like
vegetables are often not very clean.
