Longji Rice Terraces
Figure out the main ideas of each paragraph
The Longji Rice Terraces were built by the local Zhuang ethnic group alone. Though there are many large, flat areas in the region, they built terraces on the mountains to have more areas to grow rice. The terraces are cleverly designed, and can wash away the shallow soil. There are hundreds of waterways, along which rainwater moves down the mountains and into the terraces. Today, local people use modern methods to maintain the terraces, and they attract lots of visitors from all over the country.

3. So why did these people go to so much trouble to turn the entire mountains into terraces Firstly, there are few large, flat areas of land in the region. Building the terraces therefore meant that they could increase the areas in which they could grow rice. Secondly, although the region has plenty of rain, the mountains are steep and the soil is shallow. The flat terraces catch the rainwater and prevent the soil from being washed away.

A sample for retelling
The Longji Rice Terraces is worth a visit year-round. It turns silver in spring, green in summer, gold in autumn and white in winter. Located in Guangxi Province, the terraces were built by the local Zhuang and Yao people. Starting from Yuan Dynasty, the work on them was finally completed in the early Qing Dynasty.
For a lack of large flat areas of land, steep mountains and shallow soil, the locals built the terraces, which are cleverly designed and can hold soil, to have more areas to grow rice. There are hundreds of waterways, along which during the rainy season rainwater moves down the mountains and into the terraces. The sun heats the water and turns it into vapour. This forms clouds from which rain falls down onto the mountain terraces once again.
Today, local people still use the ancient methods to maintain the terraces, which are a great wonder created by people and nature working together, attracting countless visitors.
Why do the local people still keep their traditional way of growing rice
In what other ways do people live in harmony with nature Give examples.
The knowledge and wisdom are passed down through generations of families, and it suits the natural environment.
