2- Complete the paragraph using the following words:

I love travelling by train because it is interesting to look out of the window. In one journey,
you can see ferries crossing the Nile, green valleys, peaceful villages and busy cities. Trains
are often fast and comfortable, too. Egypt has the oldest railway in Africa. More than 800
million passengers travel by train in Egypt every year on 5.000 kilometers of railway! I take
the train when I visit my grandparents in Edfu. It's my favourite journey.
