New Zealand: Air, Land and Sea

By Doris Evans and Anthony Doesburg

Say “New Zealand”, and most people think of fantastic beaches, forests, mountains and
oceans. And you can enjoy this beautiful landscape by doing exciting activities. There’s
skydiving, white-water rafting, climbing, canyoning, kayaking, mountain biking,
snowboarding, hiking, swimming, paragliding – and, of course, bungee jumping!

(1) ________________
Would you jump off a bridge with just a cord to save you? Millions of people already have
– especially in New Zealand, the home of bungee jumping! Mitchell Walker, 21, comes
from Queenstown in New Zealand. It’s a small town on the South Island next to the deep-
blue Lake Wakatipu and surrounded by mountains. Adrenaline junkies will find everything
they need here.

1
(On his 13th birthday, Mitchell got an unusual present. He won a radio competition, and
his prize was a bungee jump from Kawarau Bridge – the world’s first and most famous
jump location. “It was just awesome,” Mitchell remembers. Mitchell says he was a little
scared. “It’s something many people never experience. Flying through the air, falling
towards the river below – that makes you feel free.”

(2) _______________
With 14 national parks, New Zealand is filled with wonderful plants, wildlife and hiking
trails. Flyn Hocart-Saunders, 21, loves the outdoors. “I have a great respect for nature,” he
says. In summer Flyn, from Opotiki, works in the North Island’s Te Urewera National
Park. Flyn takes tourists through the park’s wild forests. “We spend three to four days with
our groups – telling them about the trees, animals and Maori legends.” The park is almost
completely covered in vegetation, even on some of the highest mountains.

In winter Flyn works on Mount Ruapehu, a volcano and the North Island’s best skiing
area, in Tongariro National Park. Flyn’s motto is, “Respect the mountain, and hope the
mountain respects you.”

Sabine Jahn, 16, from Heilbronn in Germany, loved visiting Tongariro National Park. Last
December, during her year at school in Auckland, Sabine spent a week hiking, cycling,
swimming and white-water rafting at Taurewa Camp. Sabine noticed that the weather in the
park can change very quickly. It can even be cold in summer, so wearing the right clothes is
important.

(3) _________________
Under the sea, a new world is waiting. And 18-year-old Shayni Hawkins wants to take you
there. “It was a childhood dream of mine to be able to breathe underwater,” says Shayni,
who’s been scuba-diving for more than a year. When she was at school, she began working
for the company Dive Tutukaka. “My day starts with cleaning the boat and preparing
lunch,” she says. “We check the diving gear before we welcome people onto the boat. The
skipper tells everyone about the trip and safety on the boat.”

Shayni lives in Tutukaka, a town on New Zealand’s north-eastern coast. Diving tours take
people to Poor Knights Islands Marine Reserve – one of the world’s best places for diving.
Shayni says, “The current brings subtropical fish from Australia. The Lord Howe coral fish
has yellow and black stripes. It’s really beautiful. There’s also the ugly scorpion fish, which
is poisonous! It’s hard to see when it changes colour to look like coral.”

2
Shayni feels very lucky to have her job. “You meet lots of people. About half of the visitors
are from other countries. It’s nice to learn about other places. I really want to dive
overseas,” she says.

(4) _______________
New Zealand’s Waitakere beaches, near Auckland, are famous for their spectacular and
breath-taking scenery, huge waves and black sand. One of the most famous beaches is Piha.
It’s three kilometres long, with black and gold sand. This area is Jessica Waterer’s home.
In the summer, Jessica, 19, works as a lifeguard at Piha beach. More than 3,000 New
Zealanders spend their summers working as lifeguards. They’re extremely important for
the safety of the swimmers at New Zealand’s many beaches. “It’s such a cool job,” Jessica
says. “I work outside in the sun, on the beach. I save lives and get paid for it!”

Listening

(This is the tape script:

Arienne, Norway
My one regret... I can't really answer that because I don't really have any regrets. All my life
I have basically had a few dreams and my dreams I have basically fulfilled. My first dream
was going to the United States on exchange and I did that and then my second big dream
was going to Japan on exchange, which I also did, and I'm very happy about the fact that I
am able to fulfill my dreams because not all people can do what I've been able to do.

Jeff, Canada
Regrets! I don't regret very much but I have a couple of regrets. One is that I played too
much sports when I was young and I didn't pick up any music. I would have liked to play a
musical instrument, and my other regret is that I'm uni-lingual. I only speak one language
and I would have liked to learn another language when I was young.

Shibika, Oman
My biggest regret is not excepting a scholarship offer that I was given a few years ago.
Instead I took another offer and I do regret it even though I'm happy where I'm at right
now, but I wish I had taken that offer before.

Fred, Canada
OK, my biggest regret! My biggest regret would have to be four years ago, I was living in
Spain and I was having such a great time and then for some reasons, I had to go back to
Canada and still to this day, I'm having a hard time with that decision. I wish I had stayed in
Spain because my life was so great. I was going to the beach every day and it was such a
sunny country and the people were very nice.

Kevin, South Korea

About seven or eight years ago, I was staying in Canada, but I had to come back then

7
because my father had some problem in his company, but he told us that we could stay for
a year or two longer, but so I hope I could have stayed a little longer.

Rebecca, Australia
One of my regrets is that I have not travelled. When I was younger, I really wish that I
could have travelled overseas during high school, taken up some exchange programs like I
am now, through university, even travelled with my family overseas, but then it does it's
down problems, that I have been able to travel in my own country throughout the years, so
that's my regret.

Speaker 4: What should Fred have done differently? Why?

Speaker 5: What happened to Kevin’s father while he was in Canada?

Speaker 6: What does Rebecca regret not having done in her high school years?

Grammar 2:

(This is the tape script: That's a nice old song: Edith Piaf singing about how she hasn't got
any regrets, which is a good thing because it's not a good idea to spend too long thinking
about the past, because you can't change it: but you can learn from your past mistakes. Like
my friend Jack, he made some silly mistakes earlier this year that could have had very
serious consequences. You see, Jack was on holiday in the Mediterranean and he spent the
first week happily sunbathing and swimming but then he started to get a little bit bored and
he decided to explore the mountain that he could see behind his hotel. So one afternoon,
about two or three o'clock, he set off up the mountain, with a bottle of water, wearing deck
shoes, he remembered to change out of his sandals, and he told me it was lovely. It wasn't a
difficult walk up the mountain, the view was beautiful and the air was much cooler and he

8
decided to sit down and have a little rest, enjoy the view but he fell asleep and when he
woke up it was nearly dark and he was a bit scared because he hadn't told anybody where
he was going. So he decided he'd better get down that mountain quite quick, before it went
really dark. But sometimes going down is even harder than going up and he slipped, he
fell, he really hurt himself and he couldn't move and nobody looked for him and he spent
the whole night on the mountain. Well, luckily for Jack, in the morning somebody found
him, help was called and everything was all right. They took him down the mountain, he
got fixed up. But he has learnt from his mistakes. Things could have been a lot worse. You
see, if he'd told the people in the hotel where he was going, somebody would've gone and
looked for him. And if he'd set off a bit earlier instead of late in the afternoon, it wouldn't
have got dark. And most importantly of all, if he'd worn proper shoes he might not have
slipped. But Jack says he's learnt from his mistakes and all well that ends well. Have you
ever made any silly mistakes that you regretted in the past and things could've been
different?

Ex. 6 Listen to this story and complete the sentences with an appropriate ending.

a. If Jack had told the hotel staff where he was going, somebody __________________.

b. If he’d set off a bit earlier, it __________________.

c. If he’d worn proper shoes, he __________________.

Look at this sentence. Can you see the pattern considering the sentences from exercise 6?

If Jack had been wiser, he wouldn’t have gone on a trip to the mountain.

Third Conditional

We use the third conditional to talk about imaginary situations that didn’t happen in the
past. We can also use it to express regrets.

If Sam hadn’t played football yesterday, he wouldn’t have hurt his leg.

if - clause main - clause

What actually happened in this situation?

9
Note: when the if - clause comes at the beginning of the sentence we put a comma between
the two clauses.

- If David had left work earlier, he wouldn’t have missed the bus.
- David wouldn’t have missed the bus if he had left work earlier.

Ex. 7 Complete the sentences. Use the third conditional.

a. If Mark ______________ ( not go) to New Zealand, he ______________ (not meet) his
future wife.

b. If I ______________ (study) more for the test, I ______________ (not fail) it.

c. Adam ______________ ( not crash) the car if he ______________ (drive) more

carefully.

d. If Sarah ______________ ( go out) last night, she ______________ ( have) the chance
to meet her favourite singer.

e. You ______________ (not stay) late at work if you ______________ (do) everything on
time.

f. If her friends ______________ (not invite) her to the party, she ______________ (not
meet) her new boyfriend.

Ex. 8 What could have happened differently. Transform these sentences using the third
conditional.

Example: There were not tickets so we couldn’t go to the match. If there had been any
tickets, we would have gone to the match.
a. Peeta forgot to take an umbrella and he got wet.

b. Phoebe didn’t lock the door and someone stole her golden necklace.

c. Nathan studied music in the university and he became a musician.

d. Hermione wasn’t satisfied with her test result because she didn’t study hard enough.

e. David drove recklessly and he hit the car.

 Lesson 3

Do you know who the Maori are? Have you read something about the history of New
Zealand?

Listening

(This is the tape script:

New Zealand has a population of 4.2 m people. 600,000 of those people identify
themselves as Maori. Only 20% of Maori say they can hold a conversation in Te Reo (the
Maori language).

Most Maori now live in urban areas. 24% live in Auckland, but 30% in Northland and 45%
in Gisborne. Very few Maori live in the South Island. Maori people tend to live in poor
housing areas, have more health problems than pakeha people and have low educational
achievement. However, the number of Maori who have a university degree is fast
increasing.

The median age of Maori is 24 whereas the median age of pakeha is 41. One third of
Maori are under 15 years old. Maori often have bigger families. By 2026, the number of
Maori could be 800,000.

About half of all Maori adults have a non-Maori partner. New Zealand has a long history of
inter-marriage but identity and customs are still important to Maori.

One in 6 Maori lives overseas, especially in Australia. It is very hard for them to keep their
language and identity so far from home.

New Zealand signs historic Maori land deal

History was made on June 25th as the New Zealand 1.___________ (govern) signed over
the 2. ___________ (own) of huge areas of forest land to seven Maori tribes. The deal is
the largest ever made between New Zealand’s government and the indigenous Maoris. It is
part of efforts to compensate Maoris for land taken away from them by British 3.
___________ (colony) in the nineteenth century. The two sides have been negotiating
since the mid-1980s to settle 4. ___________ (history) disputes. Maoris have been angry
ever since their lands were signed over to Britain in the Treaty of Waitangi in 1840. The
new 5. ___________ (settle) means an area covering 176,000 hectares, worth over $500
million, is now back in Maori hands. The seven tribes have more than 100,000 members.
They will manage the land to make sure it provides them with a 6. ___________ (sustain)
future.
Around 800 Maori from across New Zealand’s North Island crammed into the parliament
building to witness the historic handover. New Zealand’s Treaty Negotiations Minister
Michael Cullen said New Zealand’s image as a nation suffered because of the past wrongs
done to Maoris. At the signing ceremony he said: "It is a 7. ___________ (tragical) of our
history that in the century and a half that followed the signing of the treaty, [we] failed to
uphold [our] part of the bargain in so many ways." Prime Minister Helen Clark thanked
everyone who worked on the deal: "We came into politics to address injustice and seek 8.
___________ (reconcile). Thank you for walking that road with us,” she said. Maori
spokesman Tamati Kruger said: “The land to be returned is 9. ___________ (culture)
significant to us all." Maori make up around 15% of New Zealand's 4.2 million population.

Reading for Pleasureii

This extract will give you an opportunity to get a glimpse of New Zealand literature.

About the author: Maurice Gee is one of New Zealand’s fi nest

writers with more than forty books for adults and young adults to his
credit. He has won several literary awards, including the Wattie
Award, the New Zealand Fiction Award and the New Zealand
Children’s Book of the Year Award. Salt, the first volume in The
Salt Trilogy, was the winner of the NewZealand Post Book Award
for Young Adult Fiction.

About the book: In this compelling fantasy Pearl (a fair complected girl from the ruling
families of the Company) and Hari (a dark-complected boy from the indigenous peoples
confined to the Burrows) must discover the secrets of Deep Salt in order to rescue Hari’s
father Tarl. These two young people form an alliance in the midst of class wars and
internecine struggles; they can communicate without speech and eventually they discover
love. Their journey becomes far more than a quest to save Tarl — their world is on the
brink of unspeakable terror. Gee's novel is a page-turner made more exciting by the ticking
time bomb of a radioactive substance known as Salt.

(Recommendation: This text is not adapted. You can use a dictionary for some words which you
cannot understand from the context.)
1
The rain continued to fall. The numbering and branding went on until
midmorning. Under the cart, Hari knelt on the stones, shifting only to ease his
legs and holding his knife ready to stab. The horses knew he was there, but he
had made a bond with them as he found his hiding place. Now and then he
5
slipped his hand under the canvas apron and touched each one on the fetlock,
as light as a fly, renewing that bond. He had cut a flap like an eyelid in the side-
canvas, and he watched as each recruit was held and branded and each wife or
daughter given a token, and he was filled with hatred and rage, which he had to
hold down and aim away at the Whips and the clerk, so it would not alarm the
10
horses. He must keep them calm and use them when the time was right. He
watched his father, who had two names, Tarl and Knife.
He had thought they would never take his father, and Tarl himself had made a vow
that he would die before letting Company enslave him. Yet here he was, held within
the ring, burned on his chest and arms by electric fingers, and waiting his turn for the
15
brand.
The early howling of the dogs had woken them that morning, in their corner of the
ruined hall known as Dorm, and Hari had read the message in their howls and run
among the sleeping tribe, waking them with kicks and cries: “The Whips are
coming.”

15
20
“Wake the burrow. I’ll do the streets,” his father had shouted, so Hari plunged
through stairwells and runways and pits, on sloping beams, on slides of rubble,
shouting his warning: “The Whips, the Whips!” Men scurried into the dark, deeper
into holes inside Blood Burrow. A hundred or more made their escape. Tarl had
chosen the more dangerous way, warning men in the shelters opening off the
25
streets—and somehow the Whips had cornered him and locked him in their fizzing
ring. Hari, at the end of his run, watching from a crevice in the base of a shattered
wall by People’s Square, had seen the ninety herded round the edge of the swamp,
and seen with disbelief his father among them. The clerk’s cart had rumbled by, a
body length from his nose, heading for its place by the south wall. Hari had not
30
thought; he had acted, the way the feral dogs, the way the deep-crawling, invisible
rats had taught him. He darted across the stones, slid under the canvas apron,
rolled between the iron-clad wheels and fastened himself like a cockroach to the
underside of the cart. He felt the horses sense him and replied in a silent whisper:
Brother horse, sister horse, I am here, I am you.
35
Eighty-nine men were stripped and branded and named and stood shivering in the
bitter rain, each with his hands tied at his back and a rope halter fastening him to the
man in front. His father was the last, and Hari, watching through his eyehole in the
canvas, saw why he had worked himself into that position. Inside Tarl’s ragged shirt,
in its ratskin sheath, his knife was hidden. He had won space for his throwing arm.
40
The clerk would die. Hari heard his father’s intention like a whisper.
No, he tried to whisper back, I have a better way.
He was too late.

Ex. 1 Answer the questions.

a. How did Hari make sure that the horse wouldn’t make any noise?
b. What did they do to the recruits?
c. What promise did Knife make to himself?
d. What is the Dorm?
e. Why couldn’t Tarl escape?
f. What did Tarl plan to do? Could Hari change his father’s mind?
