‘Khishijargal the Nomad’ Adjective Exercise
Read the story about desertification. Then read the words below and check your dictionary to understand what they mean. Then fill in the blanks with the appropriate adjective! (Check the answers below.)
The strong wind blew through the mountainside land that Khishigjargal and his large family had placed their ger on. Khishigjargal could feel the small particles of sand and dust in the wind as he slowly began to herd his family’s animals.
Khishigjargal and his family were traditional nomads, moving around Mongolia in search of some green land for their many animals to graze. It was the start of the unpredictable spring, which meant that the family began to leave the place they had been for the long, cold winter in search for better grazing area. But this year it was very difficult. Khishigjargal’s elderly father, who was a very successful herder, led them to where they were going to set up their ger.
When they arrived, however, it was sandier then ever before. They had ridden their overloaded horses a very far distance and now it looked like it was all desert. The family continued to a new spot and set up their cozy ger.
The Mongolian environment was changing, but Khisigjargal did not understand why. Overgrazing meant the precious land was increasingly becoming desert.
