when irish writer george bernard shaw visited new zealand in the 1930s,a reporter asked
what he thought about the place.shaw replied:“too many sheep.”
in new zealand,there are 40 million sheep.the number is 10 times as many as that of people in the country.so there are a lot of jokes about new zealand and sheep.
since there are so many sheep,for years,new zealand sent meat and wool to countries
like britain.
agriculture has become less inportant recently.most new zealand live in cities,and only
a small number still run sheep farms.
new zealand is a beautiful place,with rivers,mountains and endless green plains.have you seen the lord of the rings films?they were all filmed in new zealand.the movies are an advertisement for the country’s beauty.
the maoris are the original people of the country.they make up 15% of new zealanders.
most new zealands now use maori words in everyday life.maori and english are the offcial languages.
