1. When I hear "New Zealand", I think of the Lord of the Rings trilogy because it was filmed there. Among other images that spring to my mind are the Maori people, spectacular mountains and glaciers, North Island and South Island, and kiwi birds.
2. New Zealand is famous for its spectacular landscapes.
3. I know that New Zealand was first populated by ancestors of Maori. As for the first Europeans to arrive in New Zealand, they were the Dutch. Then it was visited by Captain James Cook.
4. I would go to Wellington, as it is the capital city. I would also like to visit Auckland, which is the largest and most populated city in New Zealand. But most of all I want to go to the Fiordland National Park.
5. People who live there are called New Zealanders, but they are also called Kiwis. They are people of various ethnicities and national origins. There are Maori people, descendants of Scottish, English, Welsh and Irish settlers, and people from many European and Asian countries.
6. New Zealanders are proud of their indigenous heritage, their history (New Zealand was the first country in the world to give women the right to vote) and their rugby team.
7. I know its nature to be very beautiful. There are a lot of picturesque mountains, rivers, valleys and fiords there.
8. I would like to ask him/her about his/her favourite place in the country.

3. much
