Reading Worksheet \u2014 Elementary (C) | tahricteaches.com<\/p>\n

Taiwan is a beautiful island with mountains, forests, and coastlines. Before many other people arrived, \u0938\u094d\u0935\u0926\u0947\u0936\u0940<\/strong> people already lived on this land. Today, Taiwan has sixteen official indigenous groups, and each one is called a tribe<\/strong>. Every tribe has its own name, history, and special way of life.<\/p>\n

Each tribe speaks its own \u092d\u093e\u0937\u093e<\/strong>. These languages sound very different from Mandarin Chinese, which most people in Taiwan use every day. Sadly, some indigenous languages now have only a few thousand speakers. Many young people grow up speaking Mandarin and never learn the words their grandparents once used.<\/p>\n

Long ago, indigenous families built small villages near rivers and hills. They planted rice, hunted animals, and fished together. They learned important skills from their ancestor<\/strong>, the people in their family who lived long before them. Children listened carefully to stories about hunting, farming, and respecting nature.<\/p>\n

Elders play a big role in every tribe. They teach songs, dances, and old traditions to young people. Through these lessons, children learn who they are and where they come from. Clothing, festivals, and music all show the rich culture that each tribe has kept alive for generations.<\/p>\n

Today, the government and schools work hard to \u0930\u0915\u094d\u0937\u093e \u0915\u0930\u0928\u093e<\/strong> indigenous languages. Some schools now teach these languages in class. Radio programs and television shows use them too. Many indigenous people also share their language online. These efforts help keep old languages, and the culture behind them, alive today.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
