Darling Harbour

Lots of fun at Darling Harbour!

Let's continue with our amazing trip to the awesome city of Sydney. Your next stop now is at Darling Harbour which is a district full of shops, restaurants, museums, exhibitions, and entertainment venues. Families will enjoy Madame Tussaud's, the wild life Sydney Zoo, and the Aquarium, which has got the world's largest collection of Australian marine creatures.

Powerhouse Museum offers interactive exhibits on science, technology, design, and history, while a tourist can board a replica of Captain Cook's ship, Endeavour, at the Australian National Maritime Museum.

Younger children will love the carousel, playground, and the water park. Visitors can also choose from different options: an IMAX and 9D theatre, harbour jet boat rides, simulated flights and racing car adventures.

Visiting Sydney is a dream come true for sea lovers!

You travelled to Sydney last year, didn't you?

In this project, you are visiting the city of Sydney in Australia. When visiting a new city, it can be quite easy to meet someone from that city in a bar or a restaurant and start a casual conversation. When we speak, it is quite common to use question tags.

Question tags are short questions at the end of sentences and they are mainly used in oral speech when we want to:

check that something is true or not, or
to encourage an answer from the person we are talking to.

So, in order to better understand what a question tag is, watch the cartoon and answer the questions about it. When you finish, you can check your understanding by doing the proposed activities.

Your task: podcast about a topic of your interest.

Task. Step 4: Use the PodOmatic website to record your podcast.

In this step of your task, it is time to complete all the details of your script to record the podcast.

As you have to do this task individually, you can share your draft with another classmate and he or she can give you some suggestions in order to improve your final product. Then, you have to give some feedback to another classmate as well.

Your challenge: Sydney at the Google Site

Challenge. Step 5: Organizing the Sydney entry at your Google Site
