culture
They don’t stay in a place ⑷forever/permanently,
and always moved to another place by carriage in
the past, but now by truck or coach. They don’t
like to have any ⑸nationalities of the countries
they move to. They have rich and diverse culture,
so they have ⑹appeared in many stores, books
and films.
Their rights
They were ⑺looked down upon
because of their different, strange
traditions, their worn and shabby
clothes and their darker skin. They
were ⑻regarded/considered/seen as
thieves, even pests. Many nations took
