Model Answer Writing If I were a nomad, I would want to be in the mountains or at the bottom (foot) of the mountains. I think the mountains would protect my family from harsh weather. My family would be pastoral nomads. So, this area would be good for raising animals. For example, sheep, goats, or cattle. We would move around a lot once we sold our animals. So, we would live in a tent. We could put it up and tear it down very easily. We would travel by horse. They can carry a lot. Also, we could use them when we are in one area for a while. We would make money from the animals. We would also use the milk and meat from the animals for food. Also, we would use the wool from the sheep to make blankets and clothing. I don’t think it would be a fun way of life. I think it would be very difficult. Kids wouldn’t have to go to school. However, you would always be moving. Also, you would only be able to make friends with other nomads. I think sometimes there aren’t many people around. So, I think it would be a lonely life.
