Talk about how to keep traditional crafts from dying out. Host: Welcome to the show. Today, we’re going to talk about traditional crafts that are dying out. My guest today is Emma Hadley, an expert in traditional crafts. Emma, what do you know about traditional crafts that are under threat? Guest: Well, the UK was once known as the “workshop of the world”. But did you know that today there is only one craftsperson in the country making clogs? Host: Clogs? Like wooden shoes? Guest: Yes. Clog making, it appears, is dying out. The same situation is there for basket making with oak. There are also very few oak basket makers left. Host: That doesn’t sound promising. But why are all these crafts under threat? 听力原文： Checking knowledge Guest: Well, one reason is simply that the demand for these crafts has fallen along with the times.

Substitutes like shopping bags are mass-produced with modern technology and much cheaper. But it takes a craftsperson a lot of time to make the same amount of traditional baskets, let alone the high cost of the materials involved. Host: I hate to admit it, but you are right. Giving reasons Guest: Another factor is that the younger generation is not interested in learning traditional skills. They can be difficult to learn and take years to master. Host: Indeed. Young people are more interested in learning more “modern” crafts, such as computer programming. Guest: Yes, and with fewer and fewer people learning them, these traditional crafts could die out completely. Host: That would be terrible! Is there anything we can do to stop this from happening? Guest: Actually, there’s a lot we can do! Governments could set up... ［fade out］ Giving reasons 8 Read the passage and answer the questions. 1 What is currently happening to traditional crafts? 2 Why are people starting to engage more with traditional crafts?
