Descriptive essay
Study the sample essay below.
Saturday, 25th April, 2020 was the second time I went to Abakpa Market. It is situated at the heart of Abakpa, about twenty meters from the overhead bridge along the Enugu-Onitsha Express way.
The was very busy and noisy. Shops were crowded and street vendors displayed their goods on the streets without minding how inconvenient it was for buyers to move in the market. The narrow streets were managed by pedestrians, rickshaw riders and Barrow pushers as well. It was indeed terrible.
Vendors of wears and herbal medicines shouted on top of their voices to draw the attention of buyers. Grocery stores were crowded by women who seemed in so much hurry that each of them wanted to be the first to be attended to. Stationery stores were less crowded. As I walked into one of them to buy some recommended literature texts, I saw a few youths haggling for prices to be reduced for them.
As I stood by the road side waiting to board a rickshaw that would take me home, I saw few bus drivers and conductors struggling over passengers, some of whom felt embarrassed. It was really craz. I rushed to the other side of the road and hurried into a rickshaw because I didn't want to be dragged by drivers like a displayed commodity. As I headed home that day, I vowed that I would not go to the Abakpa Market again.
