1. Find the words in the text which mean:
Have you ever seen a water puppet show? It is so special
and fantastic. It’s a unique Vietnamese tradition. Children
love the performance, and tourists who come to Viet Nam
greatly enjoy this kind of art.
Water puppetry is a traditional art form. It began in the
11th century. It originated in the villages of the Red River
Delta of north Viet Nam. The show is performed in a pool.
The puppets are supported by strings under the water and
controlled by the puppeteers behind a screen, so they
appear to be moving on the water. The puppets are made
of wood and then painted.
The themes of the puppet shows are rural: the
performances show everyday life in the countryside and
folk tales. There are stories about rice farming, fishing and
Vietnamses village festivals.
