1 Work with a partner. Look at the photos of New Zealand. What do you think life is like there?

New Zealand

1 New Zealand identity

The first people to arrive about 1,000 years ago were from Eastern Polynesia. Their culture and their customs developed into the Maori way of life – this has been an important part of New Zealand’s identity ever since.

New Zealand has amazing landscapes with high mountains and over 3,800 lakes! There are at least twelve active volcanoes. The largest lake in New Zealand, Lake Taupo, lies in the crater of one of the biggest volcanoes on Earth. More than 30% of New Zealand is forest.

New Zealanders love sports. The most famous sport is rugby – the All Blacks are famous for their spectacular haka, the Maori challenge dance before their international matches. Cricket is also incredibly popular. With 6,000 kilometres of coastline it also means water sports are very popular – sailing, kayaking, diving and surfing.

One of the most striking art forms in Maori culture is the Ta moko, Maori tattoos. The design is incredibly complicated and they are made by tapping the needle into the skin. Maori men often have Ta moko on their faces and Maori women have them on their lips and chins.

New Zealanders have to go to school from the age of six until they are 16. The school year starts in January or February and finishes in the middle of December. There are four terms with two-week holidays between each term. The school day starts at nine o'clock and finishes at three o'clock.

FACT! The human population of New Zealand is 5 million. The sheep population is 44 million. (in 2024)

1 Поработайте в паре. Посмотрите на фотографии Новой Зеландии. Как вы думаете, какая там жизнь?

Ответ:

Based on the photos and the text, I think life in New Zealand is very active and fun! People get to be outside a lot, with beautiful mountains and lakes. They seem to love sports, especially rugby and surfing. It also looks like a country with a very interesting and old culture. It would be cool to see the haka dance in person! Plus, there are way more sheep than people, which is funny. It seems like a great place for an adventure.

Судя по фотографиям и тексту, я думаю, что жизнь в Новой Зеландии очень активная и веселая! Люди много времени проводят на улице, где есть красивые горы и озера. Кажется, они любят спорт, особенно регби и серфинг. Также это выглядит как страна с очень интересной и древней культурой. Было бы круто увидеть танец хака вживую! К тому же, там намного больше овец, чем людей, и это забавно. Похоже, это отличное место для приключений.
