Hi, I'm Sarah, welcome to The Daily English Show. Congratulations to Spain who just won the World Cup … as predicted by85.7% of the people who answered the poll on thedailyenglishshow.com People in Spain must be pretty happy right now, including Acula1900. In Auckland right now there's a festival going on called the Matariki Festival. It's celebrating the Māori New Year. I've been to several events which are part of this festival and on Saturday I went to a kite day which was at a place calledTakaparawha Regional Park. It was on the top of a hill and it was a beautiful sunny day. The sun has finally decided to return after a couple of months of pretty much continuous rain – so we had this amazing view of Auckland. So if you get the chance … if you're ever in Auckland … it's definitely a place I recommend visiting. STICK NEWS Kia ora in Stick News today for the first time ever Spain has won the football World Cup. This year Spain reached the finals of the World Cup for the first time ever. They played the Netherlands and won 1-0. Spain scored in the second half of extra time. And that was Stick News for Monday the 12th of July.Kia ora.
