following passage and choose the best answer A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the
questions. Trade Villages in Vietnam

Vietnam is famous for its traditional trade villages, where artisans have passed down their skills from
generation to generation. These villages specialize in various crafts such as pottery, weaving, wood
carving, and bronze casting. Many of these crafts date back hundreds of years and continue to play an
important role in local economies. In addition to preserving cultural heritage, they provide jobs and
attract tourists who want to experience authentic Vietnamese craftsmanship.

Each trade village has its own unique products and history. For example, Bat Trang is well known for its
high-quality ceramics, while Van Phuc is famous for its delicate silk weaving. Dong Ky specializes in
wooden furniture, and Phuoc Kieu is recognized for its bronze casting. These villages not only supply
domestic markets but also export their goods worldwide. Visitors to these villages can watch artisans at
work, buy handmade souvenirs, and even try making crafts themselves.

Besides their economic and cultural value, trade villages also contribute to the preservation of traditional
techniques. Many artisans continue to use ancient methods despite the rise of modern technology. This
dedication helps maintain Vietnam’s rich heritage. However, challenges such as competition from mass-
produced goods and environmental issues require innovative solutions to keep these villages thriving.
