CLIL Worksheet Unit 3 Lesson 6

1 Look at the pictures. What kind of rides are these?
2 Read the text. How high is The Wheel?

High in the Sky

Let’s go high in the sky on a Ferris wheel! The
Wheel at ICON Park Orlando is very, very big!
It’s in Orlando, Florida, in the United States. It
has 30 cars that rotate in a circle. The ride is
20 minutes, and at the top, you can see a lot of
things. It’s 122 meters high. People wait in line
for a long time. They look up and wave to the
people in the cars.

Do you want to ride an old Ferris wheel? The

Giant Ferris Wheel in Vienna, Austria, is very
old. It was made in 1897 by Walter Bassett. This
wheel has 15 cars. One ride around the circle is
almost 15 minutes. It goes 65 meters in the sky.
The cars are very old, so you feel like you are on
a Ferris wheel from the past!
