engelse tekst

[lisanne_tje]

Ik moet voor engels een soort van brochure maken en nu heb ik dat gedaan over het land: Nieuw zeeland. Maar ik weet niet of ik alle grammatica goed heb, dus zou iemand misschien willen kijken wat er fout is en het willen verbeteren? Ik ben namelijk zo'n hopeloos geval in engelse grammatica.
Ik weet dat het een hele lap tekst is maar als iedereen nou een klein stukje wil controleren zou ik daar erg blij mee zijn

Practical information
Landscape
New Zealand consists of North Island and South Island. These Islands are the head islands and are mountainous, about ¼ part of the land lies below 200 metres. The highest top is to find on South Island, the Mount Cook (3.764 metres) in the New Zealand’s Alps. In the Plenty Bay lies an active volcano, White Island. In the zone around the Taupomeer are other sources which produce some lava outflows. The many rivers are short and through decay not to sail. But they are suitable to generate hydro-electric energy.

Climate
The seasons in New Zealand are exactly the opposite of the seasons from the Netherlands. If it’s summer in the Netherlands then it’s winter in New Zealand. The warmest period is from November till April.
North of Auckland is subtropical and the rest of the country has a moderate sea climate with long warm summers and mild winters with now and then frost. In springtime and autumn drops most of the rain. New Zealand lies in a zone of dominant west winds. The airflow is forced to rise along the west coast. This process handles much rainfall. East of the mountain ranges declines the airflow and there drops much lesser rainfall. There is the landscape quite dry and withered. Cookstraat is known for its storms (the chimney effect) because Cookstraat lies between North Island and South Island and there don’t meet the west winds each other. On few places on South Island drops more than 7.600 mm rainfall per year. On few places east of the mountain ranges drops only 640 mm rainfall per year. Rainfall occurs in all seasons.
Through the large length of the land (1.600 km) becomes the land from North to South slowly colder. The average year temperature is 15°C in the North point and 10°C in the South point.

Flora and Fauna
More than 7% of the surface of New Zealand is used by seven national parks and 1.300 nature reserves. The forest reserves use 15% of the surface of the country. The largest national park is the Fiordland of Sounds National park on the South Island. The most important forest reserve is the Waipoua Kauri Forest Sanctuary (900 ha) on the North Island. In this forest reserve is the almost eradicated kauri-boom conserved.
The Flora of New Zealand has many sorts and has through the many endemic sorts a whole own character. The trees which lose leafs in the winter are imported whereas the endemic sorts are the complete year green. There are many resemblances between the flora of New Zealand and the flora of Australia.

The Kauri tree is a spruce sort and after the North American redwood the largest trees sort in the world. After circa 800 years is the tree full-grown. The largest Kauri tree in the world stands in the Waipoua Kauri Forest. The Kauri tree has a name: ‘Tane Manhuta’ and is circa 1.200 years old, 52 meters high and 13 meters in circumference. The number of Kauri trees shrank in the seventeenth and eighteenth century rapidly and most of the forests had disappeared. Nowadays are the Kauri trees a protected sort and can’t be cut down without any reason.
Before people on New Zealand arrived were found through the isolated position of New Zealand only two land mammals: two bats. Foxes, stags, chamois, rabbits, opossums, ferrets and ermines were introduced by the Europeans. Through this disturbance in the fauna are became the 70 millions opossums a plague which eats each night 21.000 barrels vegetation.

New Zealand has circa 300 bird sorts. The kiwi is the most known bird of New Zealand. This bird has no wings and is almost blind and feeds on bays, insects and maggots. The female lays one egg that is hatched by the male.

New Zealand has not many reptile sorts. In New Zealand lives the well-known Tuatara. The Tuatara has a pedigree which returns 220 millions years to the Trias. The Tuatara is considered the oldest animal in the world.
In New Zealand don’t live snakes, but there are many other troublesome animals, like the black sand gnat. The black sand gnat is the most known insect of New Zealand and he’s always hunting blood. He hunts on everything what moves.

In the seas around New Zealand are found cachalots, orcas, dolphins and sea lions. Also the rare dolphin in the world lives in the seas of New Zealand: the Hector-dolphin.

Money
The monetary unit in New Zealand is the New Zealands dollar, N.Z $. The N.Z $ is subdivided in 100 cents. The rate of exchange is N.Z $ 1,7688 for €1,00 or € 0,5653 for N.Z $1,00. There are banknotes of N.Z $5,00; N.Z $10,00; N.Z $20,00; N.Z $50,00 and N.Z $ 100,00.
You can free take up money at automatic teller machines with your Europas. The maximum amount is €500,- per day. This is in force for the taking up and the payment of money.

Tip a person is general naturalized in New Zealand. A normal tip is 5 till 10% from the bill if you like the service.

Time difference
The whole country lies in one time area. In New Zealand is it 10 hours later than the Dutch summertime (April till September) and in the Dutch wintertime (March till October) it’s 12 hours later.

Religious holidays
The national religious holiday is 6 February. This is Waitangi Day in memory of the Waitangi pact in 1840.
One of the important events is the Summer City Programme. This continues from January till February. There are various festivities in Wellington. Another event in Wellington is the International Festival of the Arts. This is in February and only in the even years. The whole months are there national and international culture performances. The second week from February is in Blenheim the Marlborough Food and Wine Festival. In Masterton is in the month March a Golden Shears Sheep- Shearing Contest. If you like sheep you have to go there. In Christchurch is in November the Canterburry Show Week. There are agrarian performances, rodeo’s and other activities.

Useful information
You can stay with free with a Dutch passport for three months in New Zealand. You may drive a car in New Zealand with your Dutch driving licence. The Dutch driving licence is also valid in New Zealand. You don’t have to be vaccinated when you go on vacation to New Zealand. In New Zealand are sockets with three poles. You have to attend to the electric appliance you taking.

The cheapest manner to call to the Netherlands is via E-phone. E-phone cards are purchasable at Internet shops and are available in 5, 10, 20 or 50 dollars. You need a local access number to call; this number is often known at the Internet shops. With the local access number are the costs 10 cent per minute and without the local access number you have to pay 15 cent per minute. The land code from New Zealand is +64.

Public transport
In New Zealand you can travel with the public transport, as the train, the bus, the airplane and the boat.

Train
New Zealand has passable train connections. The largest and famous railway company in New Zealand is Tranzscencic. The train journeys in New Zealand are known about the wonderful views.

Bus
Travelling with the bus in New Zealand is possible. Through the important city always drive regular services. You can travel easily from one side to another side in the country.
For backpacks are in New Zealand special bus passes. With this bus pass you can travel everywhere you want. You have to book telephonic 24 hours before you departs. At the purchase of the bus pass you get a route book with all times of departure.

Airplane
Except to fly to New Zealand and back to home you can also fly inside New Zealand. Almost every city with more than a couple or thousands inhabitants has a little airplane and for few money you can make internal flights. There are many cities with an airport.

Boat
You can travel between the Islands by a boat. If you would take your car, you can’t go with the airplane, so you have to take the boat. From Wellington at the North Island to Picton at the Southern Island are two big companies: the Interislander and the Lynx. The boat trip last three hours and the views are wonderful.

Traffic rules
Just like in Australia you have to drive on the left side from the road. Outside the built up area is the maximum speed 100 km per hour and in the built up area is the maximum speed 50 km per hour.
It’s sensible to keep you at the speed limit because of the many twisting roads.
All signposts are according to the international symbols and all distances are indicated in kilometres.
The prohibition of alcohol in the traffic is strict observed. Just like here in the Netherlands are the drivers obligatory to assist with a blow test.

aaah
Niemand????
Is er niemand die me wil helpen???

The highest summit is found (wordt gevonden lett.) on the South Island, Mount Cook (3.764 metres) in the New Zealand’s Alps (heten ze echt zo?). In the Plenty Bay lies an active volcano called White Island (maakt de zin wat mooier imo). In the zone around Lake Taupo there are (net "zijn er" in het NL) other sources which produce some lava outflows. The many rivers are short and as a result of decay can not to be used by (large) ships. But they are suitable for generating hydro-electric energy.

Dat is wel genoeg voor vandaag.

Let er op dat je het onderwerp voor de pv neerzet, dat doe je HEEL vaak fout.

Hoeveel van deze tekst is van jou zelf? want je woordenschat lijtk heel groot in vergelijking met je grammatica. De hele tijd woorden gebruiken uit een woordenboek terwijl je niet 100% begrijpt wat ze zoal implementeren is niet slim.

al heel erg bedankt allemaal
