NEW ZEALAND

New Zealand is an island country in the southwestern Pacific Ocean. The country geographically comprises two main landmasses – that of the North Island（Te Ika-a-Māui）, and the South Island（Te Waipounamu）– and numerous smaller islands.Due to its long isolation, New Zealand developed a distinctive biodiversity of animal, fungal and plant life.New Zealand's capital city is Wellington, while its most populous city is Auckland.

This time, we are lucky to interview a brilliant foreign teacher in our school – Jessica who brings us to her hometown, New Zealand.

Jessica was on the top of Mt. maunganiu in New Zealand on her last Christmas.

Jessica describes New Zealand with 3 words-- “natural , beautiful, clean”. And it’s really worth visiting New Zealand for everyone.

第一期外国文化我们来谈谈太平洋西南部岛国—新西兰。和许多国家一样，新西兰的首都和人口稠密、经济高度发展区域是分离的，奥克兰是新西兰的最大城市。我们的美女外教用了三个词来形容她的家乡：“天然、美好、清净。

About Education

Primary and secondary schooling is

compulsory for children aged 6 to 16, with

the majority attending from the age of 5.

There are 13 school years and attending state (public)

schools is free to New Zealand citizens and

permanent residents from a person's 5th

birthday to the end of the calendar year

following their 19th birthday.

New Zealand has an adult literacy rate of

99 percent, and over half of the population

aged 15 to 29 hold a tertiary qualification.

The OECD's Programme for International

Student Assessment ranks New Zealand's

education system as the 7th best in the

world,with students performing exceptionally well in reading,mathematics and science.

小学和中学对于新西兰5岁以上的小朋友们来说，也是义务教育。像这样高度发达的资本主义国家，5-19岁的国人上国立学校当然也是免费的。因此，新西兰99%的成年人都是受过教育的，并且其中50%以上的15-29岁的成年人都持有一张大专学历。新西兰在经合组织的国际评估中排名第七呢！

The University of Au-

ckland, which is the

largest and highest

ranked university in

the country.

Q1: After working as a teacher in China for some time, what do you consider as the most obvious difference between Chinese education and New Zealand’s?

Jessica:

I thought in China the classes are much smaller and structured. In my university, the biggest class may be like one or two thousand students at one area. Professors will teach classes, do lectures and quite often, those lectures will be online, so students can go and see the lecture online. Also, students can choose what they study. Therefore, students change classes and classmates most of the time.

We also do critical thinking, which is required at a university. Most students will do this in their first year and when it comes to writing an essay, they will use this approach a lot. In their essays and in class discussion they are encouraged to debate and have different ideas and to challenge their teachers. Sometimes it is fun but sometimes it is very stressful.

Jessica认为中国大学课堂人数相比新西兰而言，实在小很多，也更有秩序。她的大学里，最大的课堂人数量会达到1000或者2000人（其实可以不用比较了）。更多的，她们会上网路课程和选修课。经常换同学的体验让她印象深刻。最值得一提的一点是，当他们上课时或者要写论文之前会进行辩证思考、头脑风暴—很有趣，也很有压力。

Q2: In China, many graduates are faced with a lot of pressure and stress from seeking jobs, is it the same in New Zealand?

Jessica:

I don’t think there is, because most people by the time they graduate have already been working for a few years. Most people would have at least two years of working experience. For example, I work in a core center for an alcohol company. When I graduated from university I went to work the same company but full time.

They don’t have the same pressure to find a job as Chinese students. So a lot of people sometimes will go traveling and work overseas.

外教表示，新西兰大学生们毕业找工作完全无压力。毕业时，新西兰同学们已经经历了很多实习或者是兼职工作。带着一身工作经验毕业，害怕什么呢？（无压力脸）他们有时会选择旅行、出国工作。

About Travel and Food

New Zealand consists of 3 islands which are North Island, South Island and Stewart island. Almost 75 percent of people live in North island. There are lots of people and you can do lots of activities on it. Moreover, it has a very nice weather in summer. The sun will come up at 6 a.m. to 9 p.m.

People will have meal outside their houses. Fish and Chips will be their first choice. As for tourists, they will usually buy a green stone or a jade as a souvenir. Oh, and there is a thing. Where do you guys think kiwi is from? New Zealan? Uh NO! Actually, it’s from China.

Q1: Which places will you recommend to us, if we plan to have a trip in New Zealand? Which part of your homeland do you like best?

Jessica:

You can travel the country around 10 days or 2 weeks. Most of people will hire a car or van, then drive around the country since the distance between cities are so short. ①Auckland(You can spend 2or3day in this city)—— ② Rotorua (Hells Gate Geothermal Park and Mud Bath Spa. It’s very interesting to see, because is all natural. And there are beautiful lakes and luge activities.)——③Wellington, the capital of New Zealand.(It’s a very cultural city. There are lots of mixed people. —— ④ South island, especially if you like natural places.(glacier climbing, bungee jumping and camping).

My favorite place in New Zealand is Hot Water Beach. On this beach you can dig up the sand, and water will come in then you will have your own pool and it’s all free.

外教给出的旅游计划实在让人心动。首先，花2-3天在奥克兰玩耍，城市夜景棒棒哒；接着，罗托鲁的地理公园和火山泥温泉，一起当一个白嫩嫩的学霸吧；往下，首都惠灵顿当然不可错过；最后是南岛，体验一下蹦极吧！外教最喜欢的地方是热水海滩，体验DIY游泳池！

Q2: Pavlova is one of the most famous dessert in New Zealand, how does it taste like? And what’s your favorite food in New Zealand?

Jessica:

Pavlova tastes sweet and it’s very light. It will disappear to nothing in your mouth. It’s usually topped with kiwi and strawberry. That’s my favorite cake. It’s very cheap to buy so people will usually buy it since it’s a little difficult to make at home. And my favorite meal in New Zealand is Fish and Chips. It tastes a little bit different from English one. And I love It so much.

旅游不可缺少的美食，我们也采访到啦！加了草莓和猕猴桃的帕芙洛娃是外教最喜欢的蛋糕。它很难自己制作，但是没关系，市场价也不贵。吃货们的好消息啊！新西兰鱼薯条的味道和英国稍有些不同，也很好吃呢！

About Culture and Life

New Zealand music has been influenced by blues, jazz, country, rock&roll and hip hop, with many of these genres given a unique New Zealand interpretation. Māori developed traditional chants and songs from their ancient South.The country's diverse scenery,compact size,plus government incentives, have encouraged some producers to film big budget movies in New Zealand, including The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, The Chronicles of Narnia and King Kong. Additionally, Jessica recommend us a pop singer: Lorde.

Culture about Māori: Early Māori adapted the tropically based east Polynesian culture in line with the challenges associated with a larger and more diverse environment, eventually developing their own distinctive culture.

Q1:How much do you know about the Maoris？What social position they are in？Is there any discrimination about them？

Jessica:

In the New Zealand, the Maoris is local people. When the British people came about 200 years ago, a lot of them died because of the disaster. They still live on island which is far away from New Zealand but it is still part of New Zealand. Because so many Maoris is lack of money and education，they may stole things.

Q2:When you first went to China，did you experience the cultural shock？What's the biggest different between Chinese college students life style and New Zealand's？

Jessica:

I think in Xiamen, some people will have a nap at 12am~2p.m. Stores , Cafe and office will close at 12am.~2p.m. So I can’t speak to my boss since they all have to sleep. And it’s hard to top up my ID card. That would not happen in my country. People will start their work at 9a.m and they would not have a nap. You can always see them in office. I think the biggest different would be the food because it is really different.
