Kromě uvedeného lexikálního cvičení – doplňování vhodných výrazů – a cvičení čtení s porozuměním nabízí rozšíření povědomí o geografických a historických souvislostech etap rozvoje této světové metropole i o různých aspektech kultury, umění, literatury a politického života tohoto kosmopolitního centra. Je užitečné, předchází-li jednotlivým aktivitám brainstorming – umožňuje ověřit, co žáci již znají, nabídnout, co mohou očekávat, podpořit kreativitu, soutěživost a týmovou práci. Závěrečná sada otázek umožňuje ověřit u žáků jejich míru vnímání i schopnost vyvozovat souvislosti z nápovědy. Obrázků lze využít nejen k ilustraci daného jevu, ale také k popisu a porovnání.
