Protecting the environment is very important for our planet. We need to take care of nature to keep
the Earth clean and healthy. There are many simple things we can do to help the environment. For
example, we can recycle paper, plastic, and glass. Recycling helps to reduce waste and save resources.
Another way to protect the environment is to save water. We should turn off the tap when brushing our
teeth and take shorter showers. Also, using less electricity can help. Turning off lights when we do not
need them and using energy-efficient bulbs can make a big difference.
In addition, planting trees is also very good for the environment. Trees clean the air and provide
homes for animals. They also help to keep the climate stable. We can all plant a tree in our garden or
join a community tree-planting event. Using public transport, walking, or riding a bike instead of driving
a car helps reduce pollution. Cars produce a lot of harmful gases that pollute the air. By choosing other
ways to travel, we can keep the air clean and reduce our carbon footprint. Everyone can help protect the
environment. By making small changes in our daily lives, we can make a big difference for our planet.

XII. Choose the correct answer to each of the following questions from 1 to 6.
In the Mekong Delta, Long Dinh village in Tien Giang province is famous for its traditional craft
of weaving sedge mats. The mats' high quality makes them popular domestically, and they are also
exported to markets worldwide. 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 Ninh Binh province. However, the technique of weaving sedge mats in
Long Dinh, as compared with other places, is somewhat different. Long Dinh branded mats are thicker
and have more attractive colours and patterns.
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 the 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 many kinds of products besides the traditional sedge mats.
