Reading

Complete the text with these words.

Some people think that Sydney in Australia has the best transport in the world. Why? Because trains, buses and ferries travell to all parts of the city.

Comfortable buses go to the nearest beaches such as Bondi. If you want to get somewhere quickly, fast trains leave from Central Station to many places, including the airport.

It is quiet on the water, so ferries are peaceful and they are also easy to use.

It is interesting to see the famous buildings from the water, too.
