Five “musts” for the visitor

ACTIVITY 3

This article has been written to tell the reader about the places of interest and the activities to experience in and around Cape Town.

(any relevant answer will do – along the same lines as the answer above)

Five ‘musts’ for the visitor

Cape Town has something to suit your style and energy level

1. Transplant Museum

The world’s first human heart transplant was performed at Groote Schuur Hospital on December 3, 1967. Book in advance to see a reconstruction of the event in the original operating theatre. The hearts of both the donor and the recipient are on display.

2. Howl at the full moon !

Make the most of the moonlight by walking up Lion’s Head at full moon. Set off well before sunset and start walking up the sand road opposite the parking spaces under the trees. The path offers breathtaking views of Camps Bay, Clifton, Signal Hill and the harbour.

3. Robben Island

This outing is considered an essential excursion, as it is a place of history, education and a look into South Africa’s past. The island is a living museum. Your ticket includes the return boat trip and a tour around the museum by an ex-inmate.

4. Table Mountain

No visit is complete until you have visited Cape Town’s wonder – Table Mountain. There are various options to get closer to the spirit of Adamastor, who, legend has it, was turned into fynbos and rock by the scornful nymph of the sea. Take the cable car, or alternatively pack a picnic and take a stroll to the top.

5. Extreme Adventure

Not to be missed ! Get your blood pumping … from a number of exhilarating, daredevil adventures – tandem paragliding, mountain biking, sandboarding, kloofing or a variety of other high-adventure activities. Table Mountain is the world’s highest abseil at 112m, and therefore something definitely not to be missed.

ACTIVITY 4

The learners are expected to listen to three speakers of their choice, and to complete a table, summarising information. This ensures that they listen with attention for specific information.

ACTIVITY 5
