Read the passage and choose the correct answer:
Sydney is Australia’s most exciting city. The history of Australia begins here. In 1788, Captain Apthur Phillips arrived in Sydney with 11 ships and 1624 passengers from Britain (including seven hundred and seventy prisoners). Today there are about 3.6 million people in Sydney. It’s the biggest city in Australia, the busiest port in the South Pacific and one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
There are over 20 excellent beaches close to Sydney and its warm summer climate and cool winter have made it a favourite city for immigrants from overseas. There are three things that make Sydney famous: its beautiful harbour, the Sydney Harbour Bridge, which was built in 1932 and the Sydney Opera House, which was opened in 1973.
