Imagine you are journeying through a desert. Write a couple of paragraphs describing what you see and hear.
Answer:
Our journey through the desert was incredibly hot and scorching. There are sand dunes here
and there. Strong dusty winds blow during the day. So the sand dunes keep on changing their
place. Water and vegetation are in scarcity. We can see only some thorny plants and bushes.
We came across few green places also where water is found. These places are called
oasis.
Camel is a very useful animal in the desert. It is called the ship of the desert.
It can walk easily on sand and live without water for months. We came across small group of
people who live in the desert. They are called nomads. These people rear cattle. They keep
on moving with their cattle from place to place. Some people who live near oasis do farming.
