Traditionally, rural villages in Viet Nam produced handicrafts when they were not busy with planting or harvesting crops. Over time, many villages developed the expertise to make specialized products and so many particular villages became famous for such things as weaving, woodwork, lacquer work and metal products.
With industrialization many villagers moved to the cities but maintained their craft skills and networks to produce products for the city market, for example craft villages made furniture, grow flowers or made utensils for the urban population. Other villages changed from making traditional crafts to producing different products desired by industrialized society. For example, the villagers of Trieu Khuc changed from making traditional paper to recycling plastic. There are now many craft villages in Viet Nam basing on recycling plastic, paper or metal. 27.

. THE END
Suzanne lives in Bangkok with her husband and two children. Her office is seven km away but it takes her two hours to get there by car every day. "Some cities have problems with pollution, crime, or bad weather - here we have traffic jams," she says. Before going to the office, she has to take her children to school - so she sets off at 5 a.m. The children sleep until they arrive at school. Then Suzanne begins her journey to the office. In the evening the traffic is even worse. Traffic moves in the city centre at half a kilometre an hour. In rainy weather it doesn't move at all. But why is it so bad? In the past, more people moved around Bangkok by boat. Now so many people have a car, and there aren't enough roads in the city. The Skytrain and metro can help a bit, but they are limited in range and don't cover all parts of the city.
Interviewer:.. .So how do you like this work? Miss Sweetie: Oh very much. I feel like I'm living my teenage years again! ( laugh) But really, it's great that I can help our dear readers in this way. Interviewer: Do you find it difficult to give advice? Miss Sweetie: Well, yes... I take time to think of the best possible advice that I can give. I think it's most important that we put ourselves in other people's shoes. Interviewer: So it's about being able to empathise... Miss Sweetie: Exactly. But even so, we also need to be very careful about how to put the advice into words. We need to be sensitive... It's not only -about giving the best solution, it's also about helping the person get over negative feelings. For example, I often use ‘It might be a good idea to...’ rather than ‘You ought to..Or perhaps ‘I think you should...’ for me sounds much better than ‘You must.’
