1. Read the passage.

The stilt house of the Tay

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 La
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.
