II. Read the passage and answer the questions below
Last year I visited the Somerset Levals, 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 hapitat 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 by finding new markets and innovative ways of using willow. They make willow charcoal for artists and bower seats for gardents. Some even weave willow coffins. Therefore, people here can still live on the craft that their great-grandparents passed down to them

I was a postman in a remote area of Myanmar. Once a month I went downtown to collect the post and then walked from village to village, which were far away from each other. In each village, I delivered and
collected the post. I also used to read and write letters for the villagers. Most of them were illiterate. I also passed on the news I had heard from the town and the other villages. The people treated me well. It was a hard job but I loved it.

My mother came from Baffin Island. She used to live in an igloo: a domed house built from blocks of ice. The house had only one room for all the generations: grandparents, parents, brothers, unmarried sisters, and sometimes other relatives. Everyone worked together to survive the Arctic winter. Men went out hunting while women stayed at home making clothes and preparing food. When they had to travel far, they rode on dogsleds. At night they used to entertain themselves by telling and acting out stories. They
danced to drum music too.
