    Imagine that you are writing to a student from New York, USA. They are visiting New Zeland and would like to know more about you, your culture and the similarities and differences of your culture to the New Zealand Culture.

    Write a letter to this student, including the following:

    1. What YOU think is awesome about your culture.

    2. What makes your culture special?

    3. Where might the student want to visit, should they travel around the world on holiday in the future - so that they can gain a better understanding of your culture? You could include your own experiences of visiting places around NZ or in a different country. You should aim to write about a variety of experiences:

      1. cultural events

      2. significant places (historical, cultural, sporting…etc)

      3. activities
