Exercise 5: Read the text and do the task below.

                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’d 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 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.

Năm ngoái đã đến thăm Somerset Levels, một vùng đồng bằng ven biển và đất ngập nước ở Somerset, Tây Nam nước Anh.

Khu vực này là nơi có một trong những nghề thủ công truyền thống lâu đời nhất của Somerset - nghề làm giỏ bằng liễu. Nghề làm giỏ bắt đầu ở khu vực này cách đây rất lâu. Vào đầu thế kỷ 19, hơn ba nghìn mẫu cây liễu được trồng thương mại ở đó vì khu vực này cung cấp một môi trường sống tự nhiên tuyệt vời cho việc trồng trọt của họ
         Tôi đã nhìn thấy những giỏ liễu trước khi đến thăm các Levels, nhưng tôi vẫn ngạc nhiên trước vô số sản phẩm được tạo ra bởi những người làm giỏ ở đó. Họ làm giỏ bắt tôm, khay bánh mì và thậm chí cả giỏ hành khách cho khinh khí cầu
         Mặc dù sự xuất hiện của nhựa vào những năm 1950 đã khiến ngành công nghiệp này giảm sút, nhưng việc trồng liễu và làm giỏ vẫn tiếp tục đóng một vai trò quan trọng trong nền kinh tế nông thôn của Somerset. Những người trồng liễu và các nhà sản xuất giỏ đã đối phó với thách thức này bằng cách tìm ra thị trường mới và những cách thức sáng tạo trong việc sử dụng liễu. Họ làm than liễu cho các nghệ sĩ và ghế cho các khu vườn. Một số thậm chí còn dệt quan tài bằng liễu. Vì vậy, người dân nơi đây vẫn có thể sống bằng nghề mà ông bà cố đã truyền lại cho họ


1 Somerset Levels ở đâu?
=> Ở Somerset, Tây Nam nước Anh
2 Một số sản phẩm sáng tạo được thực hiện trong khu vực này là gì?
=> Đó là những chiếc giỏ bắt tôm, khay đựng bánh mì, và cả những chiếc rổ đựng khinh khí cầu của hành khách.
3 Người trồng liễu và những người làm giỏ có thể đối phó như thế nào khi ngành công nghiệp làm giỏ đang giảm sút?
=> Họ đã đối phó với thách thức này bằng cách tìm ra thị trường mới và cách sử dụng cây liễu sáng tạo.
4 Hiện nay, nghề đan rổ có đóng vai trò quan trọng trong khu vực không?
=> Có, nó có.
