b. Read the text about the Amish and check your predictions. Find the sentences which best describe the pictures.

The Amish are a group of people who prefer simple lifestyles. The Amish came from Germany in the 18th century, and now most of the Amish live in Pennsylvania, Indiana and Ohio [ǝu'harǝu], in the United States. They live in rural Amish communities which are separate ['sepǝrǝt] from modern American society. They are very religious people and follow the rules of the Bible.

The Amish live in traditional houses, which usually have two storeys. Families are typically large, that's why they have a lot of bedrooms. Nearly every Amish home is built with a spacious basement, which can be used as a church gathering room, washroom, play space, storage place, or even living space during warmer months. All Amish homes have a sink by the entrance for washing hands before meals or on entering the house after working.

They are usually farmers and grow their own food. The Amish do not use modern conveniences, such as electricity, cars, or modern technology. There are no modern entertainment facilities in Amish communities, so they never go to the cinema, theatre or amusement parks. But the Amish still enjoy some simple leisure activities like hunting, fishing, camping, bird-watching, board games, reading, and sewing. They also like visiting their friends and neighbours. Leisure time is typically a time spent with others.

Married men are not allowed to shave their beards, but they are also not allowed to have moustaches. The Amish wear traditional clothes: long dresses and bonnets for women and shirts, hats, and trousers with suspenders (подтяжки / падцяжкі) for men.

Generally, they are friendly people and they usually wave to someone passing by, but it is against their religion to pose for photographs. Often they will turn away if someone wants to take a picture of them.
