4 You could make this competitive by asking students to work
in pairs to fi nd the information quickly. The fastest pair wins.
5 Ask students if they would buy a one-way or a return ticket.
6 Explain that curios is a rather old-fashioned word that means
unusual objects.
Learning tip
Make the point that students should only use a dictionary to
check their guesses. Explain that continually looking up words
in a dictionary takes a lot of time and that using a dictionary
disrupts reading the text itself.
7 Encourage students to read the leafl et again and to circle any
words they don’t understand. Can they work out the meaning
of these unknown words?
8 Students can discuss these questions in pairs or small groups.
Extra practice
Ask students to fi nd out about any other places of interest in
Cape Town or the surrounding area; the Cape of Good Hope is
not far away, for example.

specifi c information.
Did you know …?
Elicit or explain that if both of the fi rst two numbers in a date are
12 or below, then it is sometimes diffi cult to tell which is the day
and which is the month.
2 Remind students that we often skim a text the fi rst time
we look at it. Set a time limit, e.g. one minute, in order to
encourage students to skim these texts.
3 After checking the answer, ask students if they have ever
been in – or know of – a cableway with a 360° view.
