  1.        Are there some other good cities in New Zealand? There are some developed cities in New Zealand. For example, Willington.

We heard many things about Queenstown with so many attractive things in there. Sounds nice city. According to 100% Pure New Zealand, we can do so many things. For instance, riding on a gondola, cycling, golf, bungee-jump, and so on. As you can see, there are so many nice cities where people can have fun. On the other hand, according to 1news, Auckland placed in the 10 th most livable city in the 2023 Global Livability Index while Wellington placed in the 23rd. That means no other city is more livable than Auckland. Definitely, I got some interesting information.   2.        Do you think Auckland’s history is dense?

2023-May 30th

 Yesterday, we did a reading. We read some kinds of the seven articles that we picked two days ago because we are here seven students, and we took each for five minutes and graded them out of five points.
