Two Lakes in Japan and New Zealand

Hi! My name is Daichi Aoki. I am introducing two lakes in Japan and New Zealand. First, I am talking about Lake Taupo. Lake Taupo is the largest lake in New Zealand. The size is about 616 square kilometers. The size is about as large as Singapore Island. Lake Taupo has a history of 1,800 years. This area is popular for tourists. Over 1.2 million tourists come to this area for sightseeing per year. The popular activities are cycling and skydiving, etc. Lake Taupo Cycle Challenge is very famous event for cyclists. The participators cycle around the lake. It takes about 4-10 hours.
Secondary, I am talking about Lake Biwa. Lake Biwa is the largest lake in Japan. The size is about 670 square kilometers. This lake takes up 17 per cent of Shiga prefecture. This lake is very old. This lake is one of the oldest lakes in the world. In this area, long-distance relay road races, in Japanese Ekiden, are held every year. And Japan International Birdman Rally is held every year. In this event, participators compete the time in air with their human powered flight machines.
That’s all. Thank you for listening. Do you have any questions?
