I’d seen willow baskets before I visited the Levels, but I was still amazed at thenumerous products created by the basket makers there They make lobster pots, breadtrays, and even passenger baskets for hot air balloons

Although the arrival of plastics in the 1950s caused the basket making industry todecline, willow growing and basket making have continued to play a significant role inSomerset’s rural economy Willow growers and basket makers have dealt with thischallenge by finding new markets and innovative ways of using willow They makewillow charcoal for artists and bower seats for gardens Some even weave willowcoffins Therefore, people here can still live on the craft that their great-grandparentspassed down to them

a school system that goes all the way through high school; these kids must go to cities tocontinue their educations Cities have multiple forms of education such as colleges anduniversities More libraries and museums are available in cities Entertainment is readilyaccessible in cities in the form of movie theaters, amusement parks and restaurants.Secondly, city provides better health care condition Villages may have a local doctors’clinic, but cities often have multiple hospitals and doctors specializing in even rareconditions In a city, ambulances and firetrucks may take only minutes to arrive at thescene In villages, getting to a hospital in an emergency may take precious time

Finally, it’s easier for people to have a good job and pursue their career

Villages have a smaller population than cities, so there are fewer jobs available Living inthe city provides people with thousands of career choices Professionals have access tolarge businesses, hospitals and educational facilities for work opportunities People withless education can more readily find jobs in customer service or entry-level jobs Evenspecialized jobs and careers focused around the arts are viable in a city with a largepopulation

I think cities bring lots of benefits to their residents As city populations increase, so dobusinesses People have fast access to their needs and wants in cities As time passes,more and more people all over the world leave villages and move to cities, seeking anew life

Vietnam teens devote more leisure time to cyberspace than reality

A recent survey of 400 students aged from 13 to 19 in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City hasillustrated an ‘immense gap’ in the lives of urban teenagers and highlighted worryingproblems about their conceptions, attitudes, and behavior

The teenagers in the survey spent the most time within the four walls of classrooms,with little left for sports or community-related activities

Besides the time at school, 92 percent of students said they have ‘extra time’ for studies

at the homes of teachers for two or three subjects, including Mathematics and English

Lack of career orientation

Regardless of their diligence in their studies, 46 percent of teens said they do not knowwhat type of career path they want to pursue

It seems that many students consider their studies a duty, instead of a motivation topossess knowledge

In fact, parents spend less than two hours a day talking with their children Most of thistime is spent at the dining table or watching television

Sadly, most of these interactions between parents and children are uncomfortable forteens, because they are often reprimanded for their social lives

Consequently, 30 percent of teens blame their parents for disregarding their needs anddesires Forty percent said they are often intimidated by their parents, and 50 percentadmitted that they are shy about telling private stories to their parents

Exercise 5: Read the passage and answer the questions.

1 survey a a young person between 13 and 19 years old

2 attitude b enthusiasm for doing something

3 activity c to say or think that someone or something did something

wrong or is responsible for something bad happening

react to each other

group or people, which is usually done by asking themquestions
