10. Finding the correct word in the text. Exploring Sydney.

 

Emma had finally arrived in Sydney, excited to explore all the iconic places she’d seen in travel guides. Her first stop? The world-famous Sydney Opera House. But with so many streets and signs, she soon realised she’d need help finding her way.
She approached a passerby and asked politely, “Excuse me, where is the Sydney Opera House?”
The passerby smiled and said, “You’re close! Just keep walking down this street, and you’ll see it by the water.”
Emma followed the directions, but after a few minutes, she wasn’t quite sure if she was on the right track. Spotting another local, she asked, “Excuse me, is the Opera House near here?”
The local nodded, “Yes, you’re almost there! Just keep going straight and look for the big white sails.”
After snapping some photos at the Opera House, Emma decided to head to Bondi Beach to enjoy the famous waves and sand. She asked a friendly-looking tourist, “Excuse me, can you tell me the way to Bondi Beach?”
The tourist began explaining the route, but with buses and cars passing by, Emma missed part of what he said. “Sorry, could you say that again, please?” she asked with a smile.
The tourist repeated the directions, and soon Emma was on her way. However, as she neared the end of the street, she saw two paths and wondered if she was heading in the right direction. She approached a couple and asked, “Is this the right way to Bondi Beach?”
They nodded. “Yes, just a few more stops if you’re on the bus, or a short walk from here if you want to stroll through the nearby park.”
Thanks to a few helpful locals, Emma managed to explore Sydney’s highlights confidently and enjoy the best the city had to offer!
