After checking the answer, ask students if they have ever 
been in – or know of – a cableway with a 360° view.

Ask students to compare their answers in pairs before class 
feedback.
Class bonus
Alternatively, students could make true/false statements about 
the cable cars. Their partners have to decide if the statements 
are true or false from memory.

Students can do this exercise in pairs. They can either work 
together to work out the meanings, or they can work on their 
own and then compare what they think.
6
Encourage students to use a pencil so that they can rub this 
out when they have worked out the meaning of the word(s).
7
Students can work in pairs and help each other to understand 
any unknown words.
