Introduction:
For my project I chose to do New Zealand. I chose New Zealand because my aunt has been there and says it is very nice. I also chose New Zealand because I want to go there one day and it would be fun to do the research. Before I started my project I knew that New Zealand is a group of islands. I also knew that the closest country to them is Australia.
