IV. Read the passage and answer the questions:

I have traveling to different parts of my country, and I have learned a lot about interesting

lifestyles and customs. In many ethnic villages I went to, I was impressed by some of their

beautiful traditional customs. For instance, most of the villagers lived in extended families,

and they held a close relationship among family members. In addition, young people always

showed respect for their ancestors and for elderly people. People were also willing to give a

hand when someone was in need. Members of the family helped one another with household

chores as well as with farm work. While men were working in the fields, women were doing

the household chores. While we were staying there, the villagers always gave us a helping

hand and invited us to have dinner with their families on special occasions. In short, I highly

valued the close ties in human relationship shown in the villagers’ way of living.
