Nomadic life in Mongolia
Ảnh
Mongolia is a country of hospitality - the people warmly welcome visitors and guests. Like other parts of Mongolian culture, these greetings are based on their traditional nomadic way of life. Nomadic people do not live in just one place. Instead, they are always travelling. They travel from place to place looking for food for their animals. The community can easily take their homes and lives to a different place.

1. __________________________________________________
We don't live a normal life like many other people. We live a nomadic life. This means we move two or three times a year to look for new pastures - grasslands - for our cattle. The cattle provide most of out needs: dairy products, meat, and clothing.
2. __________________________________________________
We live in a 'ger', our traditional circular tent. It keeps us cool in summer and warm in winter, even when the temperature drops to -latex(50^0C). It can be put up then taken down and transported.
3. __________________________________________________
For the most of the year, we are surrounded by vast pastures, rives and mountains. We see few people from the outside world. When we are small, we play on our land and with the animals. The horse is our best friend. Any nomadic child can ride a horse. We learn from an early age to help in the family, from household chores to heavier work like herding the cattle. We also learn to be brave.
