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

II. Read the passage then answer the questions
Traditionally, rural villages in VN produced handicrafts when they were not busy with planting or harvesting crops. Over time, many villages developed the expertise to make specialised products and so particular villages became famous for such things as weaving, woodwork, lacquer work and metal products
With industrialisation, many villagers moved to the cities but maintained their craft skills and networks to produce products for the city market, for example craft villages make furniture, grow flowers or make utensils for the urban population. Other villages changed from making traditional crafts to producing different products desired by an industrialised society. For example, the villagers of Trieu Khuc changed from traditional paper making to recycling plastic. There are now many craft villages in VN based on recycling plastic, paper or metal
