IX. Read a passage about Sardinia and do the exercises that follow.
Sardinia is the second largest island in Italy. It is famous for its beautiful
nature and a variety of ancient crafts. One of the crafts that makes the island
well-known is basket weaving. This is considered one of the most remarkable
handicrafts on the island because it combines manual skills and natural
resources.
Baskets are usually woven by Sardinian women. They have handed down the
techniques from generation to generation. The shapes and dimensions of the
baskets are different according to the technique, the area of production, and
the kind of material used. They use various natural materials such as willow,
palm, straw, and hay.
In the past, people hung the baskets on the walls of their houses or displayed
them on shelves like artwork. Today the baskets are used in homes or used
for decorative purposes. People really appreciate the craft because
nowadays it is increasingly rare to find good quality baskets like these.
Sardinian people believe that basket weaving is a dying skill and they hope
to preserve it in the future.
