Read the following passage and answer the questions below.(2ps) New Zealand is a small country in the southern Pacific Ocean. There are two main islands, the North Island and the South Island, as well as many smaller islands. New Zealand is 268,000 square kilometres, about the same size as the United Kingdom. Māori people arrived from the Pacific in the 13th century, and by the 14th century there were many Māori settlements along the coast of New Zealand. The Māori name for New Zealand is Aotearoa, which means ‘The land of the long white cloud’. Six hundred years later, large numbers of Europeans started to settle in New Zealand. According to Government figures, the population of New Zealand in 2016 was nearing five million, and of these, about 80 percent lived in the North Island. There are four main cities. Auckland, in the north, is the largest city, with a population of 1.5 million people. Auckland’s population includes over two hundred different nationalities. There are large groups of European, Māori, Asian and Pacific Islands people. In fact, Auckland has the largest Pacific Islands population of any country in the world. Although Wellington is the capital, the centre of government, it is smaller and quieter than Auckland with a population of 400,000. The main cities in the South Island are Christchurch, known as the Garden City, and Dunedin, which is often compared to a small Scottish city. The weather in New Zealand is not too cold and not too hot. However, because New Zealand is a very long country there are some differences between the south and the north. The South Island has snow in winter but the North Island rarely gets snow except on the mountains. Summer temperatures reach about 25 degrees. Winter temperatures reach about 10 degrees in the south, while an Auckland winter day may reach around 15 degrees. 1. Where is New Zealand located? . 2.
