Writing: Back to the future & New Zealand Essay

WALT: write for a specific purpose and audience

This week for writing in Room 4. We had to find what poems might mean and each student had to write an essay about what will change in New Zealand over the years. Below is my essay. Hope you enjoy my writing.

Have you ever wondered what New Zealand might be like in 2048? Well today in my essay I will be writing all about what will stay the same and what will change in New Zealand in the years to come.

The Population in New Zealand is growing, but very slowly. According to the net migration, New Zealand’s population won’t likely reach five million in the next few year. In 1984 New Zealand’s  population was 3,260,300, but in 2001 it grew to 3,846,100. But some people believe by 2021 the population would likely reach 4,375,000. That’s a lot of people in one country, right??


Is the Climate change impact in New Zealand irreversible? Climate Change may have already made a huge impact on New Zealand’s natural systems and the effects are likely to become worser. Soils in some areas have become drier and the temperature of the ocean has risen. Do you know Fox glacier in the South Island? Well from 2005 to 2011 it looked like a real glacier but ever since then the glaciers started shrinking which is a sign of Global warming.


So what do you think will change and what will stay the same in the years to come for New Zealand? I hope you learned something new from my writing about what New Zealand will be like in the future.
