3 Read a passage about the Somerset Levels and do the exercises that follow.
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 variety of
products made 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 coffin .Therefore, people here can still live on the craft that
their great-grandparents passed down to them.

when prices were going up all the time, so she decided to look for a part-time job. When she
saw an advertisement in the paper for snack bar staff, she sat down to apply for the job. She

interview the following day. When she arrived, she was nervous because she felt sure he
could see through her claims to have worked as a waitress before, and would turn her down.
But finally the interview was over, and he shook hands with her and said, ‘See you next week,
