1. Read the passage and answer the questions below.
Last month, we went to Doi Tam, a village famous for its drum making techniques, in Ha Nam
Province. The craft was first introduced to the village in the 8th or 9th century. Today there are more
than six hundred drum makers living in Doi Tam village.
I was amazed to see big drums in front of every house in the village. People say that it takes four
workers three days to make a drum with a diameter of 1.5 metres. To make a drum, the craftsmen have
to follow an eight stage process. Stretching the drumhead is the most challenging stage since they have
to carefully assess the sound it makes. The other steps do not require such high skills .Nowadays, Doi
Tam drums are not only famous in Viet Nam but are also sold to other countries such as Laos,
Cambodia, Japan, and the USA.
