Hi, I’m Sarah, welcome to The Daily English Show.

The New Zealand Music Awards were held in Auckland on the 7th of October. They’re like the Grammy awards … except not quite so world famous. And studio tdes went along to check it out. This is my media pass for the event. And it was a lot of fun, there was a red carpet before it started … and during the show, there was a media room where all the performers and presenters and award winners came to be photographed and interviewed.

So I talked to a few musicians, of course, and a few other New Zealand celebrities like Winston Reid, Robyn Malcolm and Anna Fitzpatrick.

So there’s a show about the New Zealand Music Awards coming up.

We also talked to some non-celebrity guests as they were going into the stadium and afterwards, as they were leaving, we asked them what they thought of the show. So that’s coming up in Question Time this week.



STICK NEWS

Kia ora in Stick News today Google has been testing driverless cars in California.

Google is developing technology for driverless cars using video cameras and sensors.
Google says seven cars have driven successfully around Los Angeles and San Francisco.
They say driverless cars could potentially reduce accidents and energy consumption.

And that was Stick News for Monday the 11th of October.
Kia ora.


We’ll be able to play video games instead of driving!
Yeah! Like Need for Speed!


Look! No hands!


Holy shit … that car has no driver!
CRASH!
