New Zealand is an island country in the Southwest Pacific Ocean. It lies about 1600 km southeast of Australia and about 10 500 km southwest of California. New Zealand belongs to a large island group called Polynesia. The country is situated on two main islands — the North Island and the South Island — and several dozen smaller islands. Most of the smaller islands are hundreds of kilometers from the main ones .
Слайд 3
When European explorers reached the coast of New Zealand, they found the island inhabited quite tightly. The indigenous population of these Islands Maori belongs to the peoples of the Polynesian race and moved to New Zealand from the Islands of Central Polynesia, long before the arrival of the first Europeans. There is no precise indication of when New Zealand was founded as the first Polynesian settlement. However, judging by the genealogies and traditions which are carefully preserved to our days, the Maori have inhabited New Zealand Islands in the continuation of life 25 generations, i.e. approximately from the middle of the XIV century.

The country once belonged to the British empire. Today it is an independent member of the Commonwealth of Nations, an association of Britain and a number of its former colonies. New Zealand is a constitutional monarchy. The British Monarch, Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom, is the monarch of New Zealand . The capital of the country is Wellington, but the largest city is Auckland .

The Sky Tower in Auckland has always attracted city visitors, as it’s the highest free-standing structure of the country and in the whole Southern Hemisphere. People can see up to 80 km away being at its top. There is also a nice revolving restaurant in the Orbit of the Tower.

New Zealand flag has a blue base colour, with the image of the British flag "Union Jack" in the upper left corner and four red stars forming the constellation of the southern Cross - a prominent constellation of stars visible in the sky in the southern hemisphere. "Union Jack" reflects the history of New Zealand, which was formerly a British colony.

Abel Tasman National Park is a hiker’s dream. It’s a vast park on the northern tip of the South Island, which is closed to any vehicle. That’s why the area is supremely clean. While traversing the park, one can see a lot of rare birds, including blue penguins, wood pigeons, oyster catchers.

The flora of the N ew Zealand archipelago and its fauna has evolved in relative isolation over millions of years. Before the colonization the Islands of New Zealand were almost completely covered with evergreen forests, ferns and flowering plants. However, since the advent of people to the Islands, most of the forest cover was burned or cut down, to make room for pastures and arable land.
Слайд 10
The kiwi bird is the unofficial symbol of New Zealand, nowhere else she meets. Five species of birds belonging to the genus basilevych are known and they are all on the verge of extinction. The kiwi bird is a native of New Zealand and is a relative of the EMU and the cassowary, though it is much less. The size of an adult kiwi does not exceed the size of a domestic chicken. You all probably saw and ate a fruit called kiwi. It received its name in honour of this bird.
Слайд 11
All water along the island coast is home to over three thousand species of mollusks from microscopic sea snails to giant mussels, 70 shark species, 26 species of stingrays and several species of marine chimeras. These fish, which are often called "sharks-ghosts" are distant cousins of the usual sharks and live at a depth of not less than two miles away.
Слайд 12
Commercial fishing plays a large role in the lives of New Zealanders and the country's economic development. This largely determines the importance for New Zealand's 200-mile exclusive economic zone, which is the main base for anglers in the country.
Слайд 13
