Share to Google Classroom

Rapper Drake has canceled his upcoming concerts in New Zealand and the rest of his Australia tour due to a “scheduling conflict.”

He was set to perform in Auckland on March 15 and 16, as well as in Brisbane on March 4 and Sydney on March 7. A representative confirmed the news, saying organizers are working to reschedule the shows.

Fans who already bought tickets can either keep them for the new dates or request a refund. Any refunded tickets will be available for resale, as the shows were sold out. Drake’s team apologised for the change and assured fans they are excited to return soon.

Before the cancellations, Drake had already performed in several Australian cities, including Perth, Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane. His team has promised to share new tour dates as soon as possible.

On Saturday morning, a group of students helped with a harbour clean-up in Wellington. They worked along the shoreline, picking up plastic bottles, food wrappers, and pieces of fishing line. The organiser said the students were making a noticeable difference because the beach looked much tidier by midday. One student described the work as tiring, but rewarding, because it helped protect birds and marine life. At the end of the morning, the volunteers stood together for a photo, proud of the contribution they had made to their community.

In the passage, what does the word “noticeable” most nearly mean?
