Accents: Accents are the way in which a person speaks a language. New Zealand English has a range of accents, from those that are more similar to Received Pronunciation (the prestigious accent associated with the upper class in the UK) to those that are more casual and slangy. Accents can vary depending on the social class, education level, and region of New Zealand where someone grew up.
The vocabulary of New Zealand English is influenced by the unique history, culture, and geography of the country. New Zealanders tend to use words that are specific to their local context, such as Māori loanwords like " Pā" (a Māori fortification) or "Kākā" (a native parrot).
"Ta"
A common New Zealand expression used as a shortened form of "thank you".

Survey of Britain and America
Introduction of The Curriculum
♦ Geography, History, Culture, Social Life,
Political System
♦ Canada, Australia, New Zealand
Mineral resources
♦ Britain’s mineral resources were historically important, but today
most of these resources are either exhausted or produced in small quantities. Britain currently relies upon imports from larger, cheaper foreign supplies. Before and during the Roman occupation, about 2,000 years ago, Britain was noted for its tin mines, which were concentrated in Cornwall. The tin was mixed with copper to produce bronze, an important material in ancient times used for weapons and jewelry. Today nearly every tin mine in Britain has been exhausted and shut down. ♦ Britain’s small deposits of iron ore were critically important to the Industrial Revolution of the 18th and 19th centuries, particularly because iron ore deposits were located close to rich deposits of coal. During the Industrial Revolution towns and cities sprang up close to these resources, and they remain among Britain’s leading urban areas. Today Britain imports iron, along with most other minerals used for industrial production, although small amounts of iron, zinc, and copper are still produced

《英语国家概况》- Chapter 33 the Making of New Zealand
第三十三章地理和历史新西兰位于南太平洋，在赤道和南极之间的中点上。
从新西兰西北1500公里，跨过塔斯曼海，是澳大利亚。
东面是10600公里宽的太平洋，把新西兰同南美分隔开。
冰封的南极大陆位于新西兰以南2300公里处。
首都惠灵顿的纬度为南纬40°;中国首都北京的纬度为北纬40°。
新西兰的面积与英国或日本相近。
它有两大主要岛屿:北岛，114，500平方公里，南岛，150，700平方公里。
位居第三的是1750平方公里的斯图尔特岛，这是个小岛，位于南岛南部。
北岛和南岛都是狭长形的;从最北端的瑞格角到位于南岛最南端的布拉夫是1770公里。
由于整个国家非常狭窄，所以新西兰的任何地方距海都不超过110公里。
新西兰正好位于国际日期变更线以西的第一个时区，所以它是第一个迎接新一天的国家。
新西兰只有一个时区。
Ⅰ.地形当第一个到新西兰的欧洲人看到南岛的山脉时，他写道:"这是一片高高升起的土地。
"事实上，新西兰3/4的陆地海拔200多米，且多数为丘陵。
然而，在两个岛屿上都有平原。
南岛的东海岸、坎特伯雷区和南部区，都有大片平原。
在北岛的惠灵顿之西北的马那瓦图、奥克兰以南的怀卡托及塔腊纳基区的南部，都有富饶的草场平原。
新西兰全境多山。
一连串的山脉几乎绵亘了整个南岛，最高峰为库克山，高3764米，位于被称为南阿尔卑斯山脉的中部。
山脉把南岛分成东、西两块区域，并且只有四条山谷通道连接东西两区。
南岛西南部，有壮观的冰川，即大片的封冻冰河;南岛北部有马尔巴勒峡湾;在南岛的西南部有米尔福德峡湾。
在新西兰北岛的中央高原矗立着三座火山:高2797米的鲁阿佩胡火山和高2290米的纽鲁霍伊火山都是活火山，偶尔有气体和火山灰喷出。
最后一次导致死亡的火山活动是在1953年，但1995年鲁阿佩胡曾又一次爆发。
第二大火山，汤加里多火山，是死火山。
它已经很长时间没有显示出任何火山活动了。
北岛的中心地带的罗托鲁阿地区和陶泼地区周围，是一个火山地热区，这里有沸腾的泥水池，蒸气不断地从地面的裂隙中逸出，间歇喷泉周期性地把热水喷到空中，还有持续不断地硫磺味。

羊驼属于骆驼科, 是古代印加文明的一笔宝贵的财富, 如今已经有250万的羊驼遍布于安第斯高原地区, 秘鲁, 智利和 玻利维亚。
羊驼会长出厚厚的羊毛, 有22种基本色, 包括白色、浅黄褐色、棕色、黑色和灰色等。羊驼毛纺织品以其手感轻柔、 平整光滑而享誉世界, 还经常会被比作为上等的美利奴羊毛与山羊绒。 根据新西兰羊驼协会官方网站的统计数据, 截止至2008年7月, 新西兰全国共有羊驼数量约为15,000只。
礼节礼仪 新西兰人在社交场合与客人相见和分 手时都握手。和妇女相见时，要等对方伸 出手再施握手礼。他们也施鞠躬礼的，不 过鞠躬方式独具一格，要抬头挺胸地鞠躬 。新西兰的毛利人会见客人的最高礼节是 施“碰鼻礼”， “碰鼻礼”在毛利语里叫 作“洪吉”。碰鼻子的交数越多，时间越 长，礼就越重。
称谓与问候 正式场合的称呼是先生，夫人，女士，一般情况下，称呼 比较随便，但相处还不熟时，最好还是先称呼他的姓。在新西 兰．各行各业的人都会对自己的职业引认为荣，称呼新西兰人 时，特别要留意：直呼其名常受欢迎，称呼官衔往往令人侧目 。
普卡基湖位于新西兰南岛，该湖具有一种特别的蓝色，是冰川侵蚀的 结果，塔斯曼和胡克冰川为湖水带来了大量的沉积物。普卡基湖是一 座美丽湖泊，岩石沙滩和湖水的颜色形成了鲜明对比，远处高大的库 克山也成为完美的背景，你不能在世界其他地方再见到这样的色彩变 化
纪念品-羊驼产品 Alpaca products 什么是羊驼产品 在新西兰旅游期间, 您可能会遇到出售羊驼皮和羊毛制品的商店。根据新西兰羊驼协会(AANZ)和新西兰羊驼培育者 协会(ABS), 在新西兰经过加工、鞣制以及销售的羊驼地毯均不作为商业目的销售。这表示在新西兰出售的羊驼皮极 不可能是出自新西兰当地培育的羊驼。几乎所有在新西兰出售的羊驼产品均来自于南美洲羊驼。 什么是羊驼
