Duong: Hey, Paul! Over here! Paul: Hi, Duong! How's it going? Getting over the jet lag? Duong: Yes, slept pretty well last night. Hey, thanks so much for showing me around today. Paul: No worries, it'll be good fun. Duong: So, are you from around here? Paul: Me? Yes, I was born and grew up here. Sydney's my hometown. Duong: It's fabulous. Is it an ancient city? Paul: No, it's not very old, but it's Australia's biggest city, and the history of our country began here. Duong: Wow! So what are the greatest attractions in Sydney? Paul: Well, its natural features include Sydney Harbour, the Royal National Park, and Bondi Beach. Man-made attractions such as the Royal Botanic Gardens, Sydney Opera House, and the Harbour Bridge are also well known to visitors. Duong: What about transport? Paul: Public transport here is convenient and reliable: you can go by bus, by train, or light rail. Taxis are more expensive, of course.  Duong: And is Sydney good for shopping? Paul: Of course! You know, Sydney's a metropolitan and multicultural city, so we have a great variety of things and foods from different countries. I'll take you to Paddington Market later, if you like. Duong: Wonderful. What about education? Are there many universities? Paul: Sydney has five big universities and some smaller ones. The oldest of them was set up in 1850, I believe. Duong: Oh, it sounds like a good place to get higher education. I like this town!
