Maori Culture Presentation


Maori Culture


     Last Thursday, I had a speaking test in my class.  I and my partner introduced about Maori timeline, wars and living conditions.  It was hard works for us because we had to understand a lot of difficult words when we searched information.

     The hardest task was to catch only important events.  In addition, I changed them to easy words to have my classmates understand.  The task also was difficult for me.  When I searched about Maori timeline, I found so many events.  Then, I felt troublesome.  However, I read them and understood perfectly.  I think that the tasks must improve my English skills.  And, I knew much about Maori culture.  

     The ancestor of Maori were a Polynesian people.  These people arrived in New Zealand on seven canoes from Hawaiki in 1300.  This picture shows that.
