3 Listen again and take notes. List the reasons given by the speakers why these three things best represent New Zealand.
All in all, the Bay of Islands is really what best represents New Zealand.
In my opinion, the places that best represent New Zealand are the geothermal parks.
In short, I would like to suggest that tourists not just visit iconic places in New Zealand--they should experience its culture.
Sum up：on the whole, as a whole, briefly, in brief, in a word, in conclusion, in my view, as far as I’m concerned, as I have said above...
Sample writing
Today, I’d like to introduce you to Beijing, which is a leading cultural, economic, and historical centre in China.
Some of its attractions include the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven, the Summer Palace, and of course, the Great Wall. Beijing is celebrated around the world for the Peking Opera, and one of China’s most iconic foods, Peking Duck. It features many old neighbourhoods, called hutongs, where you can see how people have lived for hundreds of years. Of course, you can also enjoy modern buildings, such as the “Bird’s Nest”.
All in all, if you can only visit one place in China, Beijing is the place to go.
What best represents China
Beijing, known as the cultural center, boasts a long history and holds a significant influence on global art and traditions.
Located in western China, Xi'an is the best place to experience history, where ancient wonders and rich cultural heritage come to life.
What best represents China
Known as a national park, Jiuzhaigou is a picturesque fairyland, featuring stunning lakes, spectacular waterfalls, and colorful leaves.
Although there are many differences in their traditions and customs, many ethnic groups can coexist harmoniously in Yunnan, a land with abundant resources, making it the most diverse region in China.
What best represents China
Chengdu, a remarkable destination, offers the best quality of life and suits all tastes, making it an ideal vacation spot for everyone.
As one of the top economic centers in the world, Shanghai, with its distinctive features and strong development, continues to attract tourists from across the globe.
What best represents China
Guangzhou has successfully combined ancient traditions with modern fashion, allowing people to experience, enjoy, and create their preferred lifestyles.
Hubei is celebrated around the world for its breathtaking scenery and distinguished education. However, what impresses me most is that it is the centre of various cuisines, drawing in countless tourists from both near and far who are eager for the mouthwatering delights.
