Even native English speakers have trouble 1 （understand） the New Zealand accent （口音） sometimes！

English is one of the official languages of New Zealand. However， the way Kiwis （新西蘭人） speak English sounds very different to the way it 2 （speak） in the USA or the UK. The New Zealand accent is 3 （particular） special. Some people mistake it for the Australian accent but it’s not quite the same.

Here are some 4 （example）：

Vowels （元音） can sound very different in New Zealand English compared 5 American English or British English. For example， the word “kit” in New Zealand English sounds more like “cut”.

The “r” sound is often very soft when Kiwis speak and sometimes 6 is hard to hear it at all！ For example， the word “farm” sounds more like “faahm”. This can be confusing for people 7 have learned American English where the “r” sound is very clear.

Kiwis often speak with a rising tone （音調） at the end of 8 （they） sentences making it sound like they are asking a question.

Dear Mr Chen，

I’m very happy to have you as our English teacher. I knew English is very important to us， so master English means we can see the world through a new window.

To be honesty， my English is just OK. There are two mainly problems in my English study. First， I feel difficult to learn words by heart. However， I often feel nervous when spoken English. It would be great if you could give me some good advice on how to memorize the new words. Another suggestion is to give us more chance to practice speaking English in class. I’m certain that we can make much progress in English under your help. Thank you.
