Read the following passage and mark letterA, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each
of the questions that follow.
In the Mekong Delta, Long Dinh village of Tien Giang province is famous for its traditional
craft of weaving flowered mats. The mat's high quality makes them popular domestically, and they
are also exported to markets worldwide including Korea, Japan and AmericA.
In spite of its well-established reputation for this traditional craft, mat weaving only started here
some 50 years ago. It was first introduced by immigrants from Kim Son, a famous mat weaving
village in the northern province of Ninh Binh. However, the technique of weaving sedge mats in
Long Dinh, as compared with other places in the South, is somewhat different. Long Dinh branded
mats are thicker and have more attractive colours and pattems.
Weaving sedge mats is similar to growing rice. Long Dinh mat production mainly occurs during the
dry season, from January to April. Weavers have to work their hardest in May and June, otherwise,
when the rainy season starts in July, they will have to put off finishing their products till the next dry
season. No matter how much work it requires, Long Dinh mat producers stick with this occupation,
as it brings a higher income than growing rice.
This trade provides employment for thousands of local labourers. At present, nearly 1,000
households in Long Dinh village live on weaving mats. To better meet market demands, Long Dinh
mat weavers have created more products in addition to the traditional sedge mats. Particularly, they
are producing a new type of mat made from the dried stalks of water hyacinth, a common material in

better conditions for the whole village.
