Read a passage about the Somerset Levels and do the exercises that follow
Last year | visited the Somerset Levels, a coastal plain and wetland area in Somerset, South West England This area is home to one of Somerset's oldest traditional crafts - willow basket making Basket making began in the area a long time ago At the beginning of the 19th century, more than three thousand acres of willow trees were planted commercially there because the area provided an excellent natural habitat for their cultivation —
I'd seen willow baskets before | visited the Levels, but | was still amazed at the numerous products created by the basket makers there They make lobster pots, bread trays, and even passenger baskets for hot air balloons
Although the arrival of plastics in the 1950s caused the basket making industry to decline, willow growing and basket making have continued to play a significant role in Somerset's rural economy
Willow growers and basket makers have dealt with this challenge by finding new markets and innovative ways of using willow They make willow charcoal for artists and bower seats for gardens Some even weave willow coffins Therefore, people here can still live on the craft that their great-grandparents passed down to them
Match the words with their definitions
1 willow A existing in large numbers
2.commercially 8 introducing or using new ideas, ways of doing something, etc
3 numerous C ina way that is connected with the buying and selling of goods and services
4, significant D large or important enough to have an effect
¬ E ablack substance made by burning wood slowly in an oven with little air, used
5 innovative
for drawing
6 charcoal _F a tree with long branches and long thin leaves that often grows near water
Trang 11whe > > Decide if the sentences are T (true) or F (false)
Willow basket making is the oldest traditional craft in Somerset
Willows can grow well in the area because of its favourable natural conditions The presence of plastic products did not affect the growth of the basket making industry in the area in the 1950s
Basket making does not play an important role in the area now
5 Willow growers and basket makers have found new ways to promote their industry
Basket makers can live on their craft nowadays ’ Answer the questions
_ Where are the Somerset Levels? How many acres of willows were planted commercially there at the beginning of the 19th century? How did the author feel when he visited the place? What are some innovative products made in the area? Is basket making passed down through generations?

We should preserve historic sites because they are of educational value To be specific, historic buildings are popular spots for field trips for various schools, ranging from primary schools to high schools In fact, my class was taken to the Temple of Literature, the first university in Viet Nam, when | was in grade five It was an interesting experience as it helped me and my friends understand more about our
educational system in the past

Good manners are a treasure to the people who possess them, as well as to the community they live in Manners are taught, learnt, and passed from generation to generation
Even hundreds of years ago, children were taught to behave responsibly They learnt to respect seniority When they passed an object to another person, they had to use both hands When they entered a room, they had to bow and greet the oldest person first Boys learnt to work hard to support their families Girls learnt to do housework, and to take care of others Loyalty and honesty were highly appreciated When they made a mistake, they would not let another person be punished for it That would be cowardly and mean They were taught that families were strong, and everybody should stick together in adversity
