| Why all New Zealanders should learn how to speak Te Reo Maori? |
| Kia ora, my name is Neomi and today I will be explaining why all New Zealanders should learn how to speak Te Reo Maori.Firstly, I will be writing down what Te Reo Maori is and how we can help to keep the language alive. |
| Te reo Maori is an official language of New Zealand/Aotearoa. Did you know that there are many people in different parts of New Zealand who have no idea how to speak the language because they weren’t taught it when they were younger? To keep the language alive, we can start by learning it ourselves so that we can teach it to younger people. |
| Secondly ,I think we should all learn how to speak Te reo Maori because it would be easier for us. Not just so that we can understand the language, but so we can communicate with people who only speak Te Reo. |
| Lastly, I think that it’s great if everyone learnt Te reo because the Maori fought for the land and by learning Te reo, we’d be showing a whole lot of respect. By learning how to speak Te reo, fluently or not. We’d be protecting and respecting the language. |
| In conclusion, all New Zealanders should learn how to speak Maori because it’s respectful and we would be keeping the language alive and protecting it. We would also be able to communicate with people who only speak Te reo Maori. |
