For 3,000 years, Mongolians have lived in the rural areas, adopting a pastoral way of life, moving in the
search of new pastures. They depend largely on their livestock for a living and sustain themselves with what
they can get from the land. Today, approximately half of Mongolia’s population is still roaming the vast plains
living in the ger and moving their campings several timesa year. Nomadic life thrives in summer and survives
in winter. When temperatures are warm, they work hard on their farms to get milk and make airag, consuming
meat from their sheeps and goats. Once winter comes, temperatures dip extremely low and they stay indoors
and survive on horse meat.
With the rise of technology, changes in the Mongolian nomadic lifestyle are almost inevitable. While they
still lead their lifestyle as pastoral herders, many use motorbikes to herd cattle and horses. To move their
homes, trucks have taken the place of ox carts. Solar panels are also becoming an addition to the ger, giving
them access to electricity without being confined to one place. The nomads use solar energy to power television
sets and mobile phones.

a.Close to 40 percent b. More than 50 percent
c. About 50 percent d. Approximately 60 percent

a.A portable, round tent b. A thatched house

We are Khmer Krom, one of the biggest ethnic groups in the south of Viet Nam. We live by farming - mostly rice - and fishing on the Mekong River. Life is sometimes hard as our work depends heavily on the weather. When it is not harvest time, the men of the village go fishing from early morning and don't return until late afternoon. By the time they return, most of the village women will be waiting for them on the river bank. They wait to buy the fish, which they will later sell at the local market or bring to the nearby town for a higher price. We children will be there too. We love running around the beach and waiting for the boats to come in.
