Extract from an online guidebook
You can legally drive in New Zealand for up to 12 months if you have either a current driver’s licence from your
home country or an International Driving Permit (IDP). After 12 months you are required to convert to a New
Zealand licence. This applies to each visit to New Zealand. Ail drivers must carry their licence or permit at ail
times when driving. If your licence is not in English, you must bring an English translation with you or obtain
an IDP. Contact your local automobile club for further details about obtaining one of these. It is important to
note that if you are caught driving without either, you may be prosecuted for driving unlicensed or for driving
without an appropriate licence and will be liable for an infringement fee of NZ$400, payable within 28 days, or
up to NZ$1,000 on conviction in court.
Self-driving holidays are one of the most relaxing ways of enjoying New Zealand’s landscape. Many of our
roads are scenic and traffic is low when compared to international standards. Although New Zealand is a
relatively small country it can take many hours to drive between cities and other destinations of interest. Even
when distances are short, hilly or winding terrain or narrow secondary roads can slow your journey. If you’re
used to driving in the city, you should take care when driving on the open country roads. Weather extremes,
one-lane bridges plus the kinds of road mentioned above require drivers to be very vigilant. Never drive if you

Extract from a travel book
I found a deck chair at the edge of the sea. I could hear small lapping sounds beside me, as if a kindly
monster was taking discreet sips of water from a large goblet. A few birds were waking up and beginning to
career through the air in matinal excitement. Behind me, the raffia roofs of the hotel bungalows were visible
through gaps in the trees. Before me was a view that I recognized from the brochure: the beach stretched
away in a gentle curve towards the tip of the bay, behind it were jungle-covered hills, and the first row of
coconut trees inclined irregularly towards the turquoise sea, as though some of them were craning their necks
to catch a better angle of the sun.
Yet this description only imperfectly reflects what occurred within me that morning, for my attention was in
truth far more fractured and confused than the foregoing paragraphs suggest. I may have noticed a few birds
careering through the air (in matinal excitement) but my awareness of them was weakened by a number of
other incongruous and unrelated elements, among these, a sore throat that I had developed during the flight,
a worry at not having informed a colleague that I would be away, a pressure across both temples and a rising
need to visit the bathroom. A momentous but until then overlooked fact was making its first appearance: that I
had inadvertently brought myself with me to the island.

Extract from a photography book
Even though there is snow on the ground outside my home in Maryland, I’m sitting with Claude Monet on a
sunny terrace behind a cottage set amidst a panoply of greenery along the Canal Nivernais in France. No
matter that the impressionist master is dead or that I’m separated from summer in France by an ocean, two
seasons, and a slew of logistical and financial issues. Thanks to Anne Keiser’s photograph of that ivy-covered
cottage, I’m seated in a white wrought-iron chair on a waterside terrace in the middle of a Monet painting.
Every time I look at that photo that ornate piece of garden furniture transfixes me. The chair is what the French
writer Roland Barthes, in his book Camera Lucida, called the ‘punctum’ of a photograph, an element which
‘rises from the scene, shoots out of it like an arrow and pierces me.’ The punctum is something we add to
the photograph that is nonetheless already there. The chair opens up an imaginary space which I fill with
my desire to be sitting there, enjoying the sunlight and the scenery of a summer day in France, occupying a
place in a living artwork.

Two's company, three's a crowd?
Flat-sharing has long been a tradition in New Zealand, and not just for students. But while there are
those who love the sense of communal living, there are others who can't w ait to establish their own
private nest. Lisa Simpson speaks to four teachers.
A Craig Andrews
The flat-sharing experience has not always been a rewarding one for New Zealander Craig Andrews. There was, for
instance, the time when Craig found himself flat-sharing in Rome while teaching for a language school. The other
tenant, an English man, was also working for them. The big issue was that he was totally uninterested in cleaning.
Despite the great many hints I dropped, he never picked up on them, and so it was all left to me. In retrospect, I
suppose he might have thought I was rather obsessive with my constant cleaning.' Craig felt it necessary to put up
with the situation as their contract with the school had six months to run and he felt that any confrontation would
have ultimately led to greater tension. Craig learnt a valuable lesson from this experience, which ensured that living
arrangements with future flatmates were more harmonious. 'Provided flatmates' backgrounds are similar and their
interests compatible, there's no reason why it all shouldn't work out well,' he says. 'And just establish the rules from
the outset.' Now a house-owner, however, Craig admits that he can't imagine ever being in a flat-sharing situation
again. 'I realize it's cheaper but I prefer my privacy and I'm not prepared to give that up.'
76
House and home
B Derene Els
Having emigrated to New Zealand from South Africa four years ago, Derene is currently living with her family.
'I pay rent which I know some people might find strange, but it would be morally wrong not to, especially as I'm
working.' She feels that she has her own privacy to a certain extent but says that 'taking turns with the television
remote control, meeting halfway when it comes to the bathroom schedule, settling for the smaller room when
you really want the big one - this is what you have to do when you're all under the same roof.' Derene is currently
keeping an eye out for a small apartment. Her criteria is simply 'near the coast' as she needs a sense of open space
around her. Perhaps this is what drew her to Australia where she took time off from her job in New Zealand to
work as a translator. After that contract came to an end, she decided to stay on with the host family who'd been
putting her up. 'Once the arrangement became more formal, when I felt they were relying on me for income,
I was not so at ease,' she explains. 'But I still felt obliged to be sociable and didn't want to appear rude by keeping
myself to myself. All the same, I could still come and go as I wished and the door was never locked.'
C Sarah Nuttall
Originally from the UK, Sarah has spent the last five years in New Zealand. She's found the local flat-sharing
experience rather different to what she was used to. There aren't so many flats available here,' she explains. 'As
well as this, in London the flats are usually fully furnished whereas in New Zealand you only get a cooker. When
my boyfriend and I first got here, it had never occurred to us that we would have to go out and buy loads of
second-hand stuff just to get started.' She's adamant that there's no room for a third person in her flat. 'We've
talked about getting an extra person in to reduce costs but our privacy comes first. But if I were ever single again,
I suppose I'd consider it. It would be a good way of meeting friends.' Sarah's first flat-sharing experience was in
London with four friends she'd been to university with. She admits that there were both good and bad times. 'We
hardly ever argued at first except for minor quarrels over the washing up.' Eventually, however, things came to
a head when the kitchen became unusable. 'We had a group meeting and the rules were laid down. They were
effective for about three weeks and then things went back to the way they were.'
D Callum McNab
Now in the complicated process of looking for his own house, Callum spent his second year of university flat-
sharing with three other students. There was a unanimous decision that the accommodation had to be within
their financial means and in close proximity to the university. 'There were no real disputes. One woman, Cathy,
was extremely talkative, so much so you'd end up not listening. But she was generous and she very much pulled
her weight around the flat so we could live with that.' Callum confesses to little participation when it came to
housework. 'There were times when we'd all pitch in but the problem was that I spent a lot of time away from
the flat. It was agreed that I wasn't as responsible for the messes created and I wasn't going to argue with that.'
When that flat got sold, Callum found the easiest option was to move in with his brother. 'I can't say I had that
much in common with him, except for our interest in foreign movies.' And now the flat-sharing seems to be
coming to an end? 'I couldn't imagine flat-sharing ever again. Living with a stranger would mean I'd failed in
some way, like I was de-maturing.'

A cultural education ^ D 1
My Paris
It's still the perfect cultural destination. So w e asked those on intim ate terms w ith the French
capital to tell us w h a t it means to them and to reveal their favourite places.
A Gilbert Adair: writer
i lived in Paris in the late 1960s and through the 1970s. Although I've been back in London for the past 20 years
or so, I still feel more at home there than I do here. I went native, I suppose. I tend to stay in Montparnasse, and
what's curious about it is that even though it's 90 years since artists like Picasso and Modigliani were around,
something of their spirit survives. Paris must be the only place where you see people on their own in a cafe,
scribbling in a notepad. However, in a sense, in artistic terms, Paris is going through a rather mediocre period.
Maybe it has something to do with attempts by the establishment to keep French art 'pure'; that is to say, not
affected by any culture not French. Because of this, Paris has become something of a museum.
BAndreas Whittam Smith: editor
I first went there when I was 20 .1thought that it was the most romantic city in the world and my view hasn't
changed. I find it beautiful, the architecture particularly, and the way the long streets are always finished off with
a building at the end of them. I don't enjoy the fact that it's a city that favours the motorist over the pedestrian,
for whom it can be a challenge just to get about, to cross the road even. One of my favourite places in Paris is an
emporium called Deyrolle on the Rue du Bac. They sell all kinds of geological specimens and butterflies. Every time
we have people staying with us we take them there and they always buy something.
C Charles Darwent: art critic
The launderette by my flat in Belleville sums up Paris for me. You put your clothes in the machine and then,
committing the machine's number to memory, you walk to a different machine in a different room and feed it
coins. Someone could steal your stuff while this was going on but the beggar lady who lives there would stop
them. Though she's barred from the cafe next door, she put in a good word for me with the owner. She told him
the reason I had never greeted him in French on walking in wasn't because I was rude, but English. So he took
to crossing the bar whenever I entered, shaking my hand and roaring ‘Bonjour, Anglais' until I gave in and began
to pre-empt him. Now we get on famously. Paris is all about following ritual. Everything - from how you feed a
washing machine, to the way you greet someone, or the way you enter a bar. There's a cafe near here where the
customers spend hours discussing the food. They are pompous and ridiculous and I long to be one of them, and
never will.
D Philippe Starck: interior designer
Despite being born in Paris, it was only a few years ago that I took a proper look at the city and truly saw its beauty.
But it's not about the stone or the architecture; it's the people, the Parisians. The people are highly critical. No
matter whether you make something good or bad, it will always be bad - they are very negative, which makes it
the hardest place to create something. At the same time, it's their wonderful vigilance that creates some of the
best quality in the world. For this I am grateful, although it took me six years to discover this secret. Parisians are
also incredibly snobbish people - they create tribes and stick to them. There's one for music, one for art, one for
journalists, and they like to fight each other. We could never just follow a leader - people are too independent-
minded and aren't afraid to be frank.
EDouglas Kennedy: writer
In 1998,1was on a book tour, and staying in a hotel. I spent the whole night walking and ended up in the Place de
la Concorde at 6am, just in time for sunrise. The whole place was completely deserted, and not a car to be seen.
I thought to myself, I have to live here and so I bought a flat in St Germain. It was spontaneous, I suppose, but it
turned out very well. You can live a proper urban life in Paris: within five minutes' walk from your door there can be
at least 15 cinemas and several excellent markets. No matter how depressed I feel, or how bad the writing is going,
the sight of the city makes me feel better. It is much more compact than London, so even though you can never
find a cab at night, you can always find your way home. There is, however, not the multi-cultural buzz you get in
London: I think this robs the city of a certain dynamism.

Recommendations for environmental projects for the town of Didcup
Intr o d uctio n
It is gratifying to observe th a t the local authority has decided to increase its financial
commitment to environmental projects. There are three main areas requiring urgent
attention and funding.
Re d u c in g Po llutio n
1(O) The f i r s t o f th e s e is the unacceptably high level of pollution caused by exhaust fumes
from cars and lorries. ( ) _________ a higher incidence of respiratory illness among local
inhabitants and a decline in the number of to u ris ts visiting Didcup.
A substantial proportion of the budget should ( 2 ) __________be allocated to the creation
of more pedestrianized areas within the main shopping d istrict. Money might
( 3 ) ______ __ be spent on an awareness raising campaign, encouraging people to leave
their cars a t home and use public tra n sp o rt ( 4 ) __________.
G reen area6
( 5 ) _________ Didcup boasts a number of parks and gardens, there is a noticeable lack of
trees, bushes and flowers on the pavements of our residential areas. ( 6 ) _________ the
obvious aesthetic benefits of these plants to the town, they would release more oxygen into
the atmosphere and help in the fig ht against pollution. ( 7 ) __________, funds would also
need to be set aside for the maintenance of these areas.
W ildlife pro tection
( 3 ) ______ ___, some of the budget should be devoted to the preservation of the town’s
wildlife. Especially a t risk are hedgehogs, hundreds of which are killed each year by traffic.
( 9 ) _________ p ro te c t these highly vulnerable animals, tra ffic signs could be erected
warning drivers to look out fo r them. This would greatly benefit our gardens (1 0 )_________
hedgehogs help control unwanted slugs and snails.
Indeed, all of these measures will make Didcup a much better place for everyone, whether
they are resident or tou rist, human or animal.
