Mai: How was your trip to Bac Ha, Alice?
Alice: It's awesome. I like Bac Ha Fair. It's an open-air market in Lao Cai.
Mai: What do you like about it?
Alice: Many things. Theo people at the market were wearing really colourful costumes.
Mai: Yeah…They came from different minority groups.
Alice: I think so, and most of the products sold at the market were home-grown and home-made. I
love it.
Mai: Do you have similar markets in New Zealand?
Alice: Yes, we do. Back in my city, Auckland, we have a farmers' market every Saturday where
farmers sell their products. My mother loves shopping there, and she rarely misses one.
Mai: I prefer shopping at the supermarket. I can find almost everything I need there, I don't have to
bargain. All the items have fixed prices on their price tags.
Alice: Right. It's more convenient.
Mai: Yeah…Oh, I've got to go. My art lesson starts at one o'clock, and I want to go to a convenience
store on the way. See you later.
Alice: See you.
