Bat Trang Pottery Village 
Bat Trang, a traditional porcelain and pottery village with history of seven centuries, is an 
interesting attraction in Ha Noi that tourists should not ignore. 
Located in an area rich in clay, the village has advantage of ingredients to create fine 
ceramics. Moreover, lying beside the Red River, between Thang Long and Pho Hien, two 
ancient trade centers in the north of Viet Nam during the 15th -17th centuries. Bat Trang's 
ceramics were favourite products not only in the domesticmarket, but also foreign ones 
thanks to Japanese, Chinese and Western trading boats that passed by. 
In the 18th and 19th centuries, due to restricting foreign trade policy of Trinh, Nguyen 
dynasties, it was difficult for pottery products in Viet Nam to be exported to foreign 
countries, and some famous pottery-making villages like Bat Trang, or Chu Dau (Hai 
Duong province) went through a hard time. Since 1986, thanks to economic reforms and 
development, more attention has been paid to the village and the world gets a chance to 
know more about Vietnamese porcelain through many high quality exported Bat Trang's 
ceramic products. 
P 4 
Bat Trang ceramics are produced for daily household use (bows,cups, plates, pots, 
bottles ), worshipping, or decoration purposes. Nowadays, the pottery artists bring into 
ceramics many innovations in production techniques, and creativity in products' features, so 
many new products have been made, and even daily household items may have the beauty 
like decoration ones. 
Visiting Bat Trang, tourists can visit Bat Trang Porcelain and Pottery Market where they 
can directly make pottery products by themselves. Many youngsters and foreign tourists are 
interested in this pottery-making experience, and spend a whole day in the market making a 
souvenir for their families or friends. 
Task 1: Match a word in column A with its definition in column B, writing the answer 
in each blank. 
1. rich A. of or inside a particular country 
2. domestic B. limiting a certain activity 
3. restricting C. new ideas or methods 
4. innovations D. containing a lot of something 
Task 2: Read the passage again, and decide whether the following statements are true 
(T) or false (F). 
Question 1: Bat Trang pottery has been developed since the 7th century. 
Question 2: Bat Trang’s pottery products were exported to foreign markets during the 18th 
and 19th centuries. 
Question 3: Its location beside the Red River has provided an enormous source of fine clay 
as ingredient for pottery making. 
Question 4: Many Japanese, Chinese and Western trading boats came to Pho Hien during 
the 15th and 17th centuries. 
Question 5: Artisans in Bat Trang village have always kept the traditions without any 
changes. 
Bài 3. 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. 
Decide T (true)/ F (false) for each statement. 
Question 1: Willow basket making is the oldest traditional craft in Somerset. 
Question 2: Willows can grow well in the area because of its favourable natural conditions. 
Question 3: The presence of plastic products did not affect the growth of the basket making 
industry in the area in the 1950s. 
P 5 
Question 4: Basket making does not play an important role in the area now. 
Question 5: Willow growers and basket makers have found new ways to promote their 
industry. 
Question 6: Basket makers can live on their craft nowadays.

Bài 2. Read the passage, and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D for each question. 
Recently, we made a trip to visit Dong Ho village with a desire to meet the old artisan – 
Nguyen Huu Sam. Just when we arrived villagers at the dyke in the village and talked with 
the villagers about the artisan, they immediately told us about him. 
The old house owned by the artisan is situated in a long alley of the village. On the walls of 
the house there are many folk paintings in different genres, from daily life paintings to 
landscape paintings shown in a set of “four seasons”. 
Mr. Sam told us about his past. When he was three years old, he was instructed in the craft 
of making Dong Ho paintings by his father. At five, he could help his father apply the Dong 
Ho paintings, and learn how to print the paper with proper colours. At seven, he was able to 
draw with a pen and make the most difficult samples. Years went by and the soul of Dong 
Ho folk paintings has kept seashell powder paint to the poonah-paper. 
In the 1940s, this craft flourished. At that time, he was assigned by his parents to take the 
paintings to the market for sale. Mr. Sam said that 17 families in the village have been 
engaged in making Dong Ho paintings. 
Artisan Sam has always been devoted to the making of Dong Ho paintings and has waited 
for opportunities to restore this traditional craft. In 1967, when the local authorities 
assigned him to restore the traditional genre of Dong Ho folk paintings, he gathered 50 
villagers with professional skills and collected hundreds of woodblocks to establish the 
Dong Ho Painting Cooperative. Thanks to his efforts, such famous painting as "Rat's 
wedding", “Rooster”, “Scene of jealousy” and “Writing verses about precious flowers" 
have been revived. Dong Ho paintings have been available in many parts of the world such 
as Japan, France, Germany, Singapore and the United States.

Question 2: In order to make Dong Ho paintings, we need seashell powder paint, the 
poonah-paper and ...

helped his parents by . 
A. applying the woodblocks with proper paints and pressing them on sheets of paper 
B. applying seashell powder to make various paints for painting making 
C. drawing with a pen and using proper paints to make many copies of paintings 
D. collecting and taking the paintings to the market for sale
