Activity 3: Picture Perfect [10 points]

While New Zealand is home to some beautiful waterfalls, there are a number of stunning waterfalls in places like Canada and South Africa. In Canada, the largest waterfall is called Niagara Falls. It sits on the border between Canada and the United States of America.
Thousands of tourists flock (go) to Niagara Falls every year to see the falls and to have their picture taken in front of this natural wonder. Over the past few years people have started taking ‘selfies’ and posting them online. Do you ever take selfies? I see a woman posing but looks like she is leaning on the water. I also see several buildings behind her. I looks like she is standing on the corner of the top of a building. I see a long beautiful flowing river behind her. I also see a woman taking a selfie. I also see boats on the water near the buildings. I also see green trees and bushes. I also see a waterfall down the river. I also see colourful buildings behind her. I also see a blue clear Sky with no clouds. I also see the woman with a jacket tied around her waist.

Rotorua is one of New Zealand’s most popular tourist destinations. It is a city filled with incredible forests, mountain biking tracks, lakes, and geothermal wonders, including hot springs (geysers) and mud pools. One of the most famous geothermal pools is called the Devil’s Bath at Wai-o-Tapu Thermal Wonderland. It is a neon green pool of stinky water.

Over the years, people have suggested that we come up with a new name for the pool. What do you think we should call it? Take a minute to let your creative juices flow. 5 New names for  Devil’s Bath The Slimy Sloop *Green Grinch Double Trouble The Slump Stink Pool

DAY 4: Spectacular, Spectacular | Activity 1: Planes, Trains and Automobiles [4 points]

Arguably, one of the most dramatic and spectacular (beautiful) places to visit in New Zealand is Milford Sound. It has been referred to as the ‘eighth wonder of the world.’ It is a beautiful fiord (steep valley) that was formed when big pieces of ice (glaciers) melted. The melted glaciers created a beautiful river that is surrounded by dramatic cliffs and snow-capped mountains. People who visit Milford Sound are able to take a boat cruise through the middle of the fiord, walk around the area on the Milford Track or fly above the fiord as part of a private helicopter tour. Let’s imagine that you had the chance to visit Milford Sound by boat, foot (walking) or air (helicopter). Which option would you prefer? I would choose to fly above the fiord as part of a private helicopter tour. I chose to have an helicopter tour is because you can see almost everything up top in the sky for example, like the top of the mountains and more. I would also have an helicopter tour is to see the ice on the top of the mountains.
