Sydney, Australia

Author’s Note: This is a content essay, and I am trying to work on my transitions, vocabulary, and conventions. If you see anything good or if you see mistakes and you would if you like to make any suggestions. I would love some feedback.

Sydney, Australia is a hugely populous, most populous city in Australia, with a population of 4.2 million people. The people in Sydney are called Sydneysiders. Sydney is far south-east on the border of Australia. Sydney is on the coast of the Pacific Ocean. In Sydney they speak English just like us. Sydney is a very beautiful place and with many cites to see.

One of Sydney’s most beautiful places is the Sydney Harbour Bridge (you may think it is spelled wrong, but this certain harbor is spelled that way). It was opened in 1932, and according to the Guinness world record book, it is the widest long-span bridge in the world. It is made out steel and is sometimes called “The Coat Hanger,”   because of its arch-based design. The Sydney Habour Bridge carries trains, motor vehicles, pedestrians and bicycles. It goes straight over the harbor.

Also reaching right into the harbor is the Sydney Opera House. You may have not known this was an opera house, but it is the most famous building in Australia. It is white and it looks like clamshells layered on top each other (It is difficult to describe).  It has only been open since 1973. Its first piece was The Australian Opera's production of “War and Peace” by Prokofiev. The Opera House was very expensive to build. The original construction cost $7 million, but the final cost was $102 million.

Sydney is a very beautiful place. It is a very populous city, but still very clean. Also is nice is that if you go there you don’t have to learn another language to speak to the people. So many cites to see and it only takes 20 hours to get thereJ.  Sydney is a place where I definitely want to go sometime in my life.
