Auckland is New Zealand's largest urban area with a population of just over a million. It is not, however, the capital, although it was at one time, until the capital moved to Wellington. Auckland is the centre of commerce and industry, and is perhaps the most energetic, prosperous and multicultural city in New Zealand.
The city's landscape is decided by volcanos, the twin harbors, bays, beaches and islands. Its nickname “the city of sails” is very suitable. Auckland has more boats for each person than anywhere else in the world.
Auckland has many volcanos, many of which currently afford great views of the city. And Auckland's shiny waters seem to attract people from every point. It is a water-lovers' best place, with some of the best beaches, for swimming, diving, fishing, sailing, windsurfing and water sports in the country.
Wellington is the capital city of New Zealand. It is also the cultural, administrative and political centre of the country. Two aspects of the city that will immediately strike any visitor are the harbor and hilly landscape. Everywhere you go, the sounds and the smell of the ocean hang in the air, and green hills and valleys wrap you in a bear hug. At night, Wellington offers a spectacular, shimmering cityscape that is unlike almost anywhere else in the world. Even after seeing it for a hundred times, it still takes your breath away.
Wellington is a scenic, windy and diverse place. It has some of the best museums, art galleries, restaurants and coffee houses in the country. It is the storehouse for the nation's historic, cultural and artistic treasures. Being the first place where European settlers arrived, it also boasts lots of historic streets and buildings.
Wellington plays host to an excellent festival of the arts every two years.

Ⅱ.七选五
Do you have a place you've always wanted to visit? If the answer is yes, have you ever considered taking a trip alone there just for a few days?
1 Although seeing the world on their own has always been a dream in their hearts since childhood, most people have repeatedly been told that the outside world is dangerous. The thought of going on a trip alone excites and terrifies them at the same time. Few end up stepping out of their comfort zone and going on meaningful adventures.
It is normal to have some trouble traveling alone. 2 For example, being alone on the road, you might have to ask strangers to take your photo wherever you go. If you join a tour halfway, you may be asked why you don't have friends or family around. 3
First, traveling alone gives you a good opportunity to do everything you wish to do without worrying about others' needs and wants. If you want, you can read on a bench beside a river for the whole afternoon without being disturbed. You are free to walk around on different streets. 4 You can also remove that dull daily routine that always makes you feel tired.
If you make good use of it, traveling alone can also be a wonderful journey of self-discovery, as you'll finally have time to think about your life.
5 All you need to do is pack your bags, take your passport, gather up your courage and go somewhere. Go out and enjoy being alone, explore the unknown, make some friends, read a book, and get to know more about yourself and the world.
A.Traveling by yourself is also quite easy.
B.You can go to shopping malls and explore the city.
C.For many people, traveling alone can be frightening.
D.There are also some unpleasant moments one might run into.
E.It is important to take some time off and think about the methods.
F.But anyhow, I still suggest that you travel alone at least once in your life.
G.Traveling alone helps us figure out what we really want to fight for in this big world.
