\"Uncontacted<\/figure>\n

A simple reading worksheet for young or beginner ESL learners about the small number of tribes in the world who choose to live without contact with outsiders.<\/p>\n

\n

Most people in the world live near cities, roads, and the internet. But a few small groups of people live in a very different way. They are called an uncontacted tribe<\/strong>. This means the group does not meet people from the outside world<\/strong>. They choose to stay by themselves.<\/p>\n

One famous example lives on North Sentinel pulau<\/strong>, a small island in the Indian Ocean. The people there are called the Sentinelese. They hunt<\/strong> with bows and spears, just like their families did long ago. No one knows exactly how many people live there \u2014 maybe 50, maybe 200.<\/p>\n

The government of India made a law<\/strong> kepada melindungi<\/strong> the Sentinelese. Boats cannot go near the island. This keeps the people safe. It also stops sickness from the outside world from reaching them. A cold or flu that is easy for us can be very dangerous for them.<\/p>\n

Far away, deep in the Amazon forest<\/strong> in South America, there are more tribes like this. A group called FUNAI works to protect them. FUNAI believes more than 100 tribes live hidden in the Amazon forest, and most people have never seen them.<\/p>\n

Scientists do not try to visit<\/strong> these tribes. They want the tribes to stay safe and alone<\/strong>, the way they choose. Today, when people study these tribes, they fly over in a plane and take pictures from far away instead.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
