3 Read a passage about the Somerset Levels and do the exercises that follow

Last year I 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 had seen willow baskets before I visited the Levels, but I 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 Somersets 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

b Decide if the sentences are T (true) or F (false)

1 Willow basket making is the oldest traditional craft in Somerset

2 Willows can grow well in the area because of its favourable natural conditions

3 The presence of plastic products did not affect the growth of the basket making industry in the area in 1950s

II)-Read the passage, and do the tasks that follow

Nick's voice is changing It is one of the many developments that happen to both girls and boys when they reach puberty: a boy’s voice gets deeper than a girl's

At puberty, boys' bodies begin producing a lot of the hormone testosterone, which causes changes

in several parts of the body, including the voice For starters, a boy's larynx, also known as the voice box, grows bigger, which causes your voice to get deeper

Along with all the other changes in your body, you might notice that your throat area looks a little different For boys, when the larynx grows bigger, part of it sticks out in the part of the neck at the front

of the throat and forms the Adam’s apple For girls, the larynx also grows bigger but not as much as a boy's That is why girls don't have Adam's apples

While your body is getting used to these changes, your voice can be difficult to control A guy's voice "cracks" or "breaks" because his body is getting used to the changing size of his larynx Fortunately, the cracking and breaking is only temporary It usually lasts no longer than a few months

Generally, a boy's voice will start to change somewhere between the ages of 11 and 15 — although

it can be earlier or later for some

Identify whether the statements are true (T), or false (F)

40

1 A boy’s voice gets deeper than a girl’s because the boy reaches puberty □ □

2 The larynx may be responsible for creating the sound of your voice □ □

3 When boys reach puberty, they only change in their voice □ □

4 Girls don't have Adam's apples because their larynx doesn’t grow bigger □ □

6 When boys reach puberty, they can’t control their voice □ □

7 In general, boys don’t have the same age of puberty □ □

8 The changes of voice often last a few months □ □
