La vie dans le désert
The desert is a large place where it is very hot during the day and very cold at night.
Le désert est un grand endroit où il fait très chaud le jour et très froid la nuit.
There are almost no trees here, only yellow sand and big rocks.

People look for water in deep wells or bring it from far away by car.
Les gens cherchent de l’eau dans de profonds puits ou l’apportent de loin en voiture.
During the day they wear light, loose clothing and hats so the sun does not burn their skin.

In the desert there are often strong winds that lift sand and make the air yellow.

Some plants, like cacti, store water inside their thick leaves or stems.
