New Zealand is an island off the east coast of Australia. It consists of two large islands: North Island and South Island. New Zealand is surrounded by the Pacific Ocean to the north and east and the Tasman Sea to the south and west. It's about the same size as the Philippines. The capital, Orrington, is located on the North Island. Other important cities are Auckland in the north, Christchurch in the south, and Queenstown further south.

New Zealand has a mild temperate maritime climate and a subtropical climate in the north. It has abundant rainfall. The warmest months are from December to February, and the coldest months are from June to August.

The ocean surrounding the island is dark blue. Many New Zealand cities are located on the bay and have a natural deep-water harbor. New Zealand’s beaches are also very clean. New Zealand has green mountains as a beautiful backdrop. Some mountains are extinct volcanoes. Beidao is a famous hot spring resort. Some hot springs can spray hot water high into the air. Some of this heat close to the surface is used to generate electricity. There are many unique animals and plants in New Zealand. The most famous animal is a flightless bird. It's called the kiwi and it's New Zealand's national bird.

The Maori were the first people to arrive on the island of New Zealand. When they discovered it more than 1,000 years ago, they called it Otishu, which means the land of long white clouds. The Maori people come from Polynesia, an island in the Atlantic Ocean. The journey from Polynesia to New Zealand was about 3,500 kilometers (some here means approximately), and they traveled this distance in narrow boats. They brought dogs, rats and plants with them and settled mainly in the relatively warm North Island. Around 1421, Chinese navigators discovered these islands during a circumnavigation voyage. In 1642 the Dutchman Abel Tasman named the island New Zealand. More than 120 years later, Captain James Cook took the island as his own in 0769, and from then on the British began to settle in New Zealand. By 1840 2,000 Europeans, mainly British, came to settle in New Zealand and signed a contract with the Maori. This day is still celebrated as a national holiday. On the 6th day of February every year. There are still many people in New Zealand today who call England home, even though most of them have never been there.
