                                                           Sydney tower The Sydney Tower Eye website has sections for tickets, experiences like the skywalk and a VR coaster, information about the views, and planning your visit.  The Experiences section is the best one , especially the skywalk, in which, you get to walk outside at the highest point in Sydney with insane views. It looks like such an adrenaline rush! I really like doing "risky" activities because i find them really fun and different so i will love having the experience of going there. I also really like taking photos so that would be a unique place for it.  Check it out here. https://www.sydneytowereye.com.au/

                       Royal botanic garden  The Royal Botanic Garden Sydney is a large and historic botanical garden located in the heart of Sydney, Australia. It was established in 1816 and is one of the oldest botanic gardens in the Southern Hemisphere. If you wanna dedicated a bench for a period of ten years starts at £5,000.  A good option its becaming a member because you could enjoy unlimited visits to Kew Gardens and Wakehurst, along with other benefits such as discounts in Kew's shops and exclusive member events , you will also recieve two gardens magazines evary year. There are a lot of diffrent types of flowers and plants but the one that caught my attention the most is the Titan arum (Amorphophallus titanum), also known as the "corpse flower because its really dissimilar to the rest of the plants I've ever seen . Its impressive size and rare blooming events make it a fascinating specime...

                                                                        Hot rocks This spectacular place in which a lot of people go for walk over there and have some drinks its operate exclusively on weekends, specifically every Saturday and Sunday. If you wanna go there you can either go by car , walking or if its far away you can go via public transportation, the nearest bus stops are located along Alfred Street. For buses traveling through the CBD along Elizabeth Street, you can disembark at Bridge Street and head north to The Rocks.  There are many shops in this place but the one i like the most is handcrafted jewelry stall. The artisans offer unique, locally designed pieces that reflect both creativity and quality. I really like jewlery and i think that it could also be a pretty gift or de...

                                                                Darling harbour Darling harbour its a lovely coastal place near Sydney's downtown,  in which you can do plenty of interesting activities, such as ; going to their aquarium , Visiting Chinese Garden or their wonderful carousel . Even thought I love nature and chinese garden its a place with lots of different types of plants and fauna, I would prefer going in one of their water taxis.  I think that It's a perfect and unsual way of exploring the place and also having a good and different experience. In my opion it's the most exciting activity and the one in which you can visit the best the arroundings.  https://www.darlingharbour.com/see-do-stay

                                                          Questions What can you see? I can see two old people in a park playing chess which the board and the pieces are quite big. Also at the background of the image I see a woman with a baby stroller with some kids. What are these people doing? The two old people  thtat are playing chess might be friends and they do these plans since they were young , the rest of the people in the picture i think that is a family , which enjoys watching pleople playing and wait till their time to play arrives . How often do you think these people play at the park?  I think this people play chess at the park once a week , at weekends , as a tradition. I also believe that it could be a kind of competition between them to see how is better and to the one that lose give him a present . What kind of ...

                                                                  TARONGA ZOO I perssonally love going to zoos because i really like seeing animals and unique species . It's something that really reminds me when i was litlle and my family and i used to go to the zoo as an important day . If your visiting Sidney and as me you like those places you should definitely vist this zoo. So answering the last question i would for sure reccommend you going. Some tips if your planning going is buying the tickets online where you will save money. If your visiting it as a group of 8 teenagers buying them it will make you save 8 pounds per each ticket. A really uique and amazing experience you should do is spending a night at the zoo. I really find it interesting and cool . Sleep at the same place where a lot of animals live! , isn't...

 In my opinion this listening was easy to understand so i think that my mark should have been better , althought I'm happy with it . Its was 19 out of 21.  I found it really interesnting and different to the rest of the other listening I've done.

                                               Art gallery of new south wales It was hard to decided what piece of art choose but the one that has caught my attention the most was Urungwall (sacred figure).  I think that is figure really different and  interesnting . I have visited a lot of museums around the world but i've never seen something like this, that's why caught my attention. I think that what makes a piece of art special is the exclusivity it has and the different over all that is . I admired this figure because is not only original it might have been really hard to made it because it is not easy to carve wood and less at  1900-mid 20th century.

                                                        Sydney Opera House The Sydney Opera House exists because a few brave people dared to think differently. From conception to completion, the building tested the limits of engineering, construction and design. Designed by the Danish architect Jørn Utzon, this World Heritage-listed masterpiece represents a breakthrough in modern architecture. Jørn Oberg Utzon was born in Copenhagen in 1918. He grew up and was educated in Aalborg, an industrial city located in Jutland on the northeast coast of Denmark. In 1937 he entered the school of architecture at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen. He worked for a short period of time for Hakon Ahlberg, an architect of renowned prestige in Sweden. Between 1953 and 1960 Utzon won first prize in several competitions in Sweden, mainly for housing projects...

    My favourite shop in the shopping centre called the Queen Vitoria Building is Calvin klein. I love this shop because i found clothes really pretty , confortable and with good quality. In Calvin Klein you could buy hoodies , perfumes or underwear. I don't really like going shopping because i found it really  stressful. I'm also a very indecisive girl so I never know what to buy and I get  nervous. Despite of that i like going shopping  with my mom or friends because they always advice me welll and i have fun .

                                                                                                             Lucia’s blog I have never been to Australia before but it has always caught my attention, with those beautiful beaches and nature . A friend of mine went a few years ago as an exchange period of time , 1 month.  She said that it was so pretty with really nice people but also with a lot of dangerous animals which she was scared of so she didn’t enjoy that much. Once she told me that she woke up with a tarantula on the floor of her room , isn't it crazy?. However if I go there the first thing i would vist would be Bondi beach , because its close from the city center and i would love going so surfing there ,...
