part of speech: noun
definition: East Timor is a country in Asia. It is a small country and shares an island with the country of Indonesia. It is hot in East Timor all year round, except in high areas. Much of the land in East Timor has mountains or steep hills, but there are also areas where farming is possible. In some months of the year, it rains very much, and in some months, it is so dry that the rivers disappear. East Timor is home to monkeys, lizards, crocodiles, bats, sea turtles, and snakes.
