Unit 1: Week 2
Exercise 2: Listen and answer the questions below.
We went to Doi Tam, a village famous for its drum making techniques, in Ha Nam Province last month. The
craft first appeared in the village sometime 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 introduced to other countries such as Laos, Cambodia,
Japan, and the USA.
