A. New Zealand is located in the south-western part of the Pacific Ocean. The Maoris, the aboriginal inhabitants, called their land Aotearoa, which means ‘land of the long white cloud’. It was first discovered by Europeans in 1642 when a Dutch sailor, Abel Tasman, arrived. However, he had to leave New Zealand very soon after several sailors from his crew were killed by Maoris. It was not until 1769 that English Captain James Cook arrived and marked the land on the map.
B. Kiwi is not only a fruit, as many people in the world believe. It is New Zealand’s native flightless bird and a slang word for a New Zealander. Local people call the fruit kiwifruit. In fact, the kiwifruit is not native to New Zealand. It’s actually from China, but it was named after the kiwi bird. The kiwifruit earns New Zealand over a billion dollars a year. New Zealand began exporting the kiwifruit in the 1950s and it is still very popular on the world market.
C. It started at the English school of Rugby in 1823. A boy by the name of William Webb Willis felt bored with kicking a soccer ball so he picked it up and ran with it. Actually, he had invented a new game. Today rugby is the national sport of New Zealand. Rugby is the most popular spectator sport in New Zealand. Adults and children adore watching it. Meanwhile golf is the most popular participation sport in the country. It’s the No.l sport for men and the No.2 sport for women, just behind netball.
D. According to the latest data, there are about 600,000 Maori people. The Maori cherish their numerous old customs. One of the most famous is a greeting ritual called the Powhiri. In it, the aboriginals shake hands, kiss each other once on the cheek, or do a hongi. This is done by pressing one’s nose and forehead (at the same time) to another person. The hongi literally means ‘sharing of breath’ and that the other person is no longer considered a visitor but a part of the community.
E. A famous dessert in New Zealand is the Pavlova, a meringue cake topped with whipped cream and fresh fruit slices. It was named in honour of the Russian ballerina Anna Pavlova who visited New Zealand in the 1920s. For decades, there has been argument between Australia and New Zealand over where it was invented. After years of research, it was found that the recipe for the cake is of New Zealand origin.
F. New Zealand inventors have a proud record of creating things the rest of the world really needs. One of the most important Kiwi inventions in the world of public health is a disposable syringe (a disposable syringe — шприц). Timaru’s Colin Murdoch came up with the idea for the disposable syringe, a simple device that has saved millions of lives and has helped diabetes sufferers around the world. He also thought up the tranquilizer dart gun for use on animals.
G. New Zealand has three official languages: English, Maori and New Zealand Sign Language. The average citizen is bilingual. That means most people speak both English and Maori. However, New Zealand English differs a lot from American, Canadian, Australian and other versions of English. The main distinguishing characteristic of the New Zealand dialect is that the speakers shorten the words so that they end in ‘o’, ‘y’ or ‘ie’. For example, arvo for afternoon or kindy for kindergarten.

Новая Зеландия – это страна в южной части Тихого океана. Она состоит из двух крупных островов и 700 мелких. С 1974 года в состав страны также входит далекий остров Ниуэ. Столица страны называется Веллингтон. |

The population of New Zealand is about 5 million 200 thousand people as of 2023. Wellington is the capital city of New Zealand. The city is located on the bay called Port Nicholson, one of the most beautiful harbours in the world. From here, ships can sail to the Tasman Sea and the Pacific Ocean. |

|
Wellington is one of New Zealand’s largest cities and is home to around 200,000 people. It is sometimes called the “Windy City” because it is always windy. |

Because of the long distances to other countries and continents, New Zealand has plants and animals that only exist there. These include the kiwi, a bird that cannot fly and is usually only active at night. The kiwi bird is a sort of symbol of New Zealand, so New Zealanders also call themselves ‘kiwi’. |
Из-за большого расстояния до других стран и континентов в Новой Зеландии есть растения и животные, которые существуют только там. К ним относится киви – птица, которая не умеет летать и обычно активна только ночью. Птица киви является своего рода символом Новой Зеландии, поэтому новозеландцы также называют себя “киви”. |

New Zealanders make most of their money from agriculture, food production such as dairy products, and tourism. Many vacationers appreciate New Zealand as a ‘green island’, which is also how the country is called. Due to the small number of inhabitants, nature remains largely unspoilt. |
Новозеландцы зарабатывают большую часть своих денег в сельском хозяйстве, на производстве продуктов питания, таких как молочные продукты, и на туризме. Многие отдыхающие ценят Новую Зеландию как “зеленый остров”, именно так еще называют эту страну. Из-за небольшого количества жителей природа в значительной части остается нетронутой. |

NEW ZEALAND
New Zealand is a state with a whole area of 268,700 square meters. It is located on the South-West of the Pacific Ocean, on the large North and South islands. It is divided by the Cook Strait, and includes the small islands of Chatham, Antipodes, Kermadec, Campbell, Cook and Tokelau.
The population is presented by two cultural groups: New Zealanders of European origin and the very small Polynesian Maori people. The official languages are English and Maori, with Wellington as the capital. For everyday communication and business meetings, it is English that is used, but Maori is officially recognized as the co-official language. The largest cities, which have territory larger than the capital, are Hamilton, Auckland and Christchurch.
The climate of New Zealand is smooth and humid. The seasonal temperature difference is small, it rains a lot, but there is no shortage of sunny days either. Climatic conditions vary from one region of the country to another. This is partly due to the significant longitudinal extent of New Zealand, which leads to the fact that in its far north the climate is warm and humid, without frost, and in the far south, in the inner part of the island — cold and dry. A certain role is also played by mountain ranges located in the west and in the center of the islands which protect the eastern coasts from the winds blowing from the west.
New Zealand is a forest area. In terms of the composition of the flora, it is very peculiar. In the extreme north of the North Island, the vegetation is subtropical. This area is characterized by forests of New Zealand kauri pine, ancient relict evergreen forests. Numerous conifers grow in them — araucaria, incense cedars, various pines, evergreen southern beeches, even some palms and tree ferns. The forest is braided with lianas, and abounds in mosses and lichens.
The most famous representatives of New Zealand fauna are: the national symbol of the country, the Kiwi bird, the kakapo or owl parrot, the kea parrot, the takahe, and the saddleback. Five types of penguins live here. The nature of New Zealand is especially amusing in the territory of national parks. New Zealand’s unique landscapes, bird species, and other natural features are carefully protected.
New Zealand is one of the most environmentally friendly countries in the world. The basis of the country’s economy is agriculture, although not so long ago, the processing and food industries, tourism, and the film industry began to acquire importance. There are a lot of oil and gas deposits and there are also reserves of gold and coal.

NEW ZEALAND.
GENERAL INFORMATION.
New Zealand is a relatively small country with a population of approximately 3.7 million people. Located in the south west of the Pacific Ocean the unique country contains a diverse range of landscapes and climatic conditions extending throughout two major islands, the North Island and the South Island, and a third smaller island, Stewart Island. The choppy Cook Strait divides the North and South Islands, while Foveaux Strait separates the South Island from Stewart Island.
New Zealand boasts a large coastal area, impressive mountains, pristine lakes and rivers, dense forests, volcanic activity, glaciers and rolling hills. 75 per cent of the country is made up of hilly surfaces and land has been developed as pasture for farming. The largest lake, Lake Taupo, is located in the North Island, as is the longest river, the Waikato. Mount Cook is the country’s highest peak and towers majestically in the South Island.
New Zealand is a country of rare seismic beauty: glacial mountains, fast-flowing rivers, and deep clear lakes and hissing geysers. There are also abundant forest reserves, long, deserted beaches and a variety of faunas, such as the kiwi.
The popularity of New Zealand with international visitors is growing year by year. It is a land of contrasts, from pristine wilderness areas to modern and sophisticated cities there is something for everyone. New Zealand also enjoys an international reputation for being safe and friendly.
New Zealand is situated in the South Pacific Ocean and its nearest neighbor is Australia. New Zealand along with Australia make up the area called Australasia or Oceania.
New Zealand is probably the most isolated country in the world yet it is a highly developed westernized country. The country is not much bigger than the United Kingdom yet within New Zealand’s shores lies just about every type of climate from subtropical to alpine. It is possible to pass through a different climatic zone each day when traveling through this unique country. Travelers will find examples of all the world’s geographical features from mountain ranges to beaches, glaciers to subtropical and temperate rainforests, active volcanoes and thermal activity to land that is permanently covered in ice and snow, from tranquil lakes and fjords to thunderous waterfalls and rivers. New Zealand also contains areas that are as bleak and barren as the Australian outback but it is the clean green image that most remember when thinking about New Zealand.
New Zealand is an island nation made up of 2 main islands aptly named the North Island and the South Island and many smaller such as Stewart Island. The North Island has a warmer climate and contains all of the country’s volcanoes and most of the thermal activity such as geysers, thermal rivers and boiling mud pools. There are many fine beaches to the North.
It is a hilly island with one major chain of mountains that starts from the East Cape and runs down to Wellington. The North Island is very green and lush due to its regular rainfall and volcanic soil. The South Island is a short ferry ride away* but is much different from the North Island. The South Island’s main geographical features are the mighty Southern Alps that run down the full length of the island. This mountain range is bigger than the European Alps put together and there are 200 mountains that are over 2500 metres. It is this mountain range that gives the South island its great diversity. The North of the South Island is the sunniest part of New Zealand. The West is one of the wettest areas in the world. The South is very cold and very barren with some areas receiving less than 400 mm per year (200 mm or less is classified as desert). The East is identical to England with its rolling green hills and the centre of the Island is mountainous and perpetually snows.
Now we shall look through the different regions in New Zealand starting with the North Island. To the north is Northland that lies in the subtropical zone and is also called the winterless North.
* на небольшом расстоянии, преодолимом на пароме.
There are many superb beaches and coves in the region the most famous being the 90-mile beach. One of the most popular tourist attraction The Bay of Islands is also in this area.
Northland’s West coast contains New Zealand’s best preserved Kauri Forests, which rate amongst the biggest and oldest trees in the world.
Further south lies the Auckland Region that is where New Zealand’s largest city Auckland is found. Auckland City is home to 1 million New Zealanders which is about one third of the country’s population. The Auckland region also has many superb beaches and bush walking is also popular here. The area is also dominated by many extinct volcanic cones which rise abruptly out of the flattish terrain.
Next is the Waikato region that contains some of the richest dairy country in the world due to its temperate climate and volcanic soil.
The Coromandel Peninsula lies to the south east of Auckland. It is a popular escape for many Aucklanders as it is a very scenic region. There are many beautiful beaches including a thermal beach called Hot Water Beach.
Further East is the Bay of Plenty Region, which is the main area for volcanic activity. Just below the Bay of Plenty is the Taupo Region, which is also a volcanic zone. The region also has the biggest lake in the country, Lake Taupo and the best ski fields in the North Island are located on Mountain Ruapehu, the biggest volcano in New Zealand.
At the bottom of the North Island is the Wellington Region that is the location for New Zealand’s capital city. The city surrounds the most spectacular harbor in New Zealand.
South if Wellington is a stretch of water that separates the North Island from the South Island called the Cook Strait. This strait is one of the roughest seas in the world and occasionally one can see whales and dolphins from the Wellington coast and on the ferry that transports passengers between both islands. The South Island can bee seen clearly from Wellington’s south coast.
The South Island is quite different from the North. It is an island of many contrasts and climates. The Southern Alps are the most impressive geographical feature, and they run the entire length of the island.
The Marlborough Region is situated in the north of the South Island. The region is the sunniest in New Zealand and this is the reason why many world class wines are produced here.
Just below the South Island lies Stewart Island that is the third biggest island. Stewart Island is an untouched wilderness area, and is a safe haven for many of New Zealand’s endangered birds such as the Kiwi and Takahe.
New Zealand’s first settlers, the Maori, named the kiwi bird for the sound of its chirp – kiwi, kiwi, kiwi! This flightless bird, about the size of a domestic hen, has an extremely long beak and plumage more like hair than feathers. New Zealanders have adopted this nocturnal, flightless and endearing creature as their national emblem. In the international financial markets, the New Zealand dollar, the basic currency unit, is frequently called the Kiwi. The dollar coin features a kiwi bird on one side. Perhaps the best-known kiwi is the delicious kiwifruit. Originating in China, kiwifruit were grown in New Zealand domestic gardens for decades as Chinese gooseberries. However, when enterprising New Zealand farmers began propagating the fruit intensively for export, it was given the name kiwifruit and has achieved worldwide fame.
New Zealand is not only famous for its beautiful scenery but it has been said many times that New Zealanders are the friendliest people you could meet anywhere. The majority of New Zealand’s population are of European (English, Irish and Scottish) descent. Approximately 10% of New Zealand’s population are of Polynesians being the native people the Maori. New Zealand generally enjoys racial harmony with one of the highest percentages in the world for mixed marriages.
New Zealanders are lovers of sports and are highly competitive. Rugby is the most popular game and the national team the All Blacks is regarded as the best in the world. Other popular games are Cricket and Netball. Yachting is a very popular sport, too.
