THE MARKET

LESSONS 1, 2 & 3

GINA Hi..I’m Gina..Gina Slater ..I live in London..although I wasn’t born here..I’m from New

York. But I like this city.... I walk through this street market nearly every day on my way to

work. There are hundreds of markets like this in London... of course, they’re not exactly clean or

modern, but I really like them. You know, the stalls, the people, the colour, the noise...

MAN Mind your backs!

GINA Oh, sorry, sorry. You can buy all sorts of things here - fruit and vegetables, cheese,

clothes, fish and flowers... and there’s always something happening, always something new. For

example, today is the first day for a new fruit and vegetable stall.

Hello... Excuse me...

Sylvia Oh, hello... You’re my first customer...

GINA I beg your pardon?

SYLVIA I said you’re my first customer... What can I do for you?

GINA Can you tell me how much your apples are?

SYLVIA Two pounds a kilo.

GINA What about your strawberries? Where do they come from?

SYLVIA They’re Spanish.

p a cauli. Now girls, when you spend more than five pounds at this stall, I’ll give you a

cauliflower for nothing. Absoutely free.

living in this market, so one of us is going to have to go. It’s nothing personal. This market’s just

not big enough for both of us. Do you know what I mean? Now, what can I get you?

it is.

DAVID This is Covent Garden Piazza. Today, as you can see, this area is full of fashionable

clothes shops, cafes, restaurants, wine bars, and so on. In fact, this used to be the main fruit and

vegetable market for Central London, so in the past, lorries carrying fruit and vegetables from

farmyards, market gardens, all over the country, used to come here very very early in the morning

- and then the greengrocers from the shops serving the capital used to come and pick up their

goods to drive back to their shops before the day’s work started.
