Read a passage about the Somerset Levels and do the exercises that follow

Last year | 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 | visited the Levels, but | 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
