4. What can you say about the way of life of New Zealand?

Friendly and Welcoming People
Kiwis are generally friendly people, with a laidback and positive attitude towards life. Compared to European countries, New Zealand is still a young country. Even Māori, the country's native inhabitants, have only been living on the island for about 800 years.
5. Speak about the other sectors of life of New Zealand. (Population, agriculture, trade, food and drink, etc.)
In New Zealand, agriculture is the largest sector of the tradable economy. The country exported NZ$46.4 billion worth of agricultural products (raw and manufactured) in the 12 months to June 2019, 79.6% of the country's total exported goods.^[1] The agriculture, forestry and fisheries sector directly contributed $12.653 billion (or 5.1%) of the national GDP in the 12 months to September 2020,^[2] and employed 143,000 people, 5.9% of New Zealand's workforce, as of the 2018 census.^[3]New Zealand is unique in being the only developed country to be totally exposed to the international markets since subsidies, tax concessions and price supports for the agricultural sector were removed in the 1980s.^[4] However, as of 2017, the New Zealand Government still provides state investment in infrastructure which supports agriculture.^[5]Pastoral farming is the major land use but there are increases in land area devoted to horticulture.New Zealand is a member of the Cairns Group, which is seeking to have free trade in agricultural goods.^[6]
6. What does include the arts?
New Zealand art consists of the visual and plastic arts (including architecture, woodwork, textiles, and ceramics) originating from New Zealand. It may come from different traditions: indigenous Māori art, that of the early European (or Pākehā) settlers, and later immigrants from Pacific, Asian, and European countries.
