Sydney is Australia' s most exciting city. The history of Aus- tralia began here. In 1788,Captain Arthur Phillips arrived in Syd- ney with 11 ships and 1,024 passengers from Britain ( including770 prisoners). Today there are 2.5 million people in Sydney. It is the biggest city in Australia, and one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
There are over 20 fine beaches close to Sydney. Its warm sum- mer climate and cool winter have made it a favorite city for immi- grants (移民 ) from overseas. There are three things that made Sydney famous its beautiful harbor, the Sydney Harbor Bridge, and the Sydney Opera House.
But there are many mor intering things in Sydney, beautiful
shops and restaurants, for example, lows of interesting old houses built in the 19th century, and everywhere, the sea. Summer or winter, day or night , Sydney is an outdoor city.
Some Americans think it is very British. Some British visitors think it is like America. There is some truth in both these opin- ions ,because Sydney takes from both the Old World Europe, and the New World America, and makes itself into something that is neither British nor American but truly Australian.
