4. Students learn English as a second language in Vietnam. Rice is a kind of grass. There are more than seven kinds of rice. Most kinds are water plants. Farmers grow rice in many countries, even in the southern part of the United States and Eastern Australia. No one really knows where rice came from. Some scientists think it started to be grown in two places. They think that one kind of rice grew in Southern Asia thousands of years ago. Someone in China wrote about it almost five thousand years ago. Another kind probably grew in West Africa. Other scientists think rice came from India, and Indian travelers took it to others part of the world.
