Task 1: Read the following article and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions.
Located in an area rich in clay, the village has an advantage of ingredients to create fine
ceramics. Moreover, lying beside the Red river, between Thang Long and Pho Hien, two
ancient trade centres in the north of Viet Nam during 15th-17th century, Bat Trang’s ceramics
were favourite products not only in domestic markets, but also in foreign ones thanks to
Japan, Chinese and Western trading boats that passed by.
In the 18th and 19th century, due to restricting foreign trade policy of Trinh, Nguyen
Dynasty, 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 reform and development, more
attention has been vested in the village and the world gets a chance to know more about
Vietnamese porcelain through many high quality exported Bat Trang’s ceramic products.
Bat Trang ceramics are produced for daily household use (bowls, cups, plates, pots and
bottles, etc.), “worshipping” or decoration purposes. Nowadays, the pottery artists bring into
ceramics many innovations in production techniques, and creativity in products’ features;
hence many new products have been bom, and even daily household items may have the beauty like decoration ones.
Visiting Bat Trang, tourists can take a walk or join a buffalo tour for sightseeing and
shopping. Beside many ceramic stores along the road in the village, tourists should 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 gifts for family or friends. Example:

2. What has given Bat Trang’s ceramic products the opportunity to reach out to the world?

B. Restricting foreign trade policy of Trinh, Nguyen Dynasty
C. New favourable policies in economic reforms
3. Why have many innovative and creative products been born?
A. Because of improvements in manufacturing methods and new features
B. Because of the stability in production techniques
C. Because of new shapes, patterns, colours and unique kinds of enamel brought into products
4. What activity especially attracts more attentions of tourists who visit Bat Trang than the others?
A. Walking or joining a buffalo tour for sightseeing
B. Shopping in ceramic stores along the road in the village


C. Making pottery products by themselves
