Question 31 – 35: Read the passage and choose the best answers to the following
questions. (1 m)
Like Azerbaijan, India and Morocco, Turkey is famous for making carpets.
Etrim, a small village near Bodrum has a rich tradition of carpet weaving. This craft has
been passed down through generations and is an important part of the village's culture.
The process begins with the preparation of the wool. The villagers shear the sheep
every April. After that they clean, spin the wool into yarn, and dye using natural
ingredients like flowers, roots, and spices. The weaving takes place on a traditional loom.
The weavers tie knots in the threads to create intricate patterns. Interestingly, they do not
use a fixed pattern. Instead, they rely on their memory, making each carpet unique. The
carpets are then trimmed and cleaned, ready to be sold. Each carpet takes about two
months to complete. Despite the time and effort involved, the weavers have maintained
the weaving traditions, and they take great pride in their work.
Etrim village is more than just a hub for exquisite carpet making, it is a place where
the age-old traditions of Turkey are kept alive. Visiting Etrim offers a unique opportunity
to witness this traditional craft and appreciate the skill and hard work of the artisans.
