B. Read a passage about Tay people to answer the questions (1.25 marks)

In a small village in the north, there is a stilt house. In the house, a Tay family

are

living together the grandparents called Dinh and Pu, the parents called Lai and

Pha and three children called Vang. Pao and Phong. Every day the grandparents

stay at home to look after the house. Mr Lai and Mrs Pha work in the fields. They

grow rice and other plants. Mrs Pha goes to the market twice a week to buy food

for the family. Mr Lai sometimes goes hunting or cutting wood in the forests. Pao

and Phong go to the primary school in the village, but Vang studies at the boarding

school in the town about 15 kilometres away. He goes home at the weekend.

The family live simply and they enjoy their way of life. There are a few difficulties

of course. But they say they live more happily in their stilt house than in a modern

flat in the city.
