we will have when we leave school. Sadly our school offers very little help in these areas.
Of course, I know it’s asking a lot to expect schools to deal with all this on top of their academic responsibilities, but
there are things n e y could do to help make a difference. First and foremost I’d like to see a dedicated welfare officer,
someone on hand throughout the school day to talk students through any problems they might be facing. Secondly,
I’d love it if our school had a careers office, a place where you could find out what life is really like in the working world.
This would certainly be useful in helping us make more informed decisions when we leave. Finally, it would be good to
see a mentoring scheme, a system in which each first-year student has a ‘friend’ in one of the top years to show them

2 Read the model answer and underline ten mistakes. Then write the correct word.
The E v e re st File s by Matt Dickinson
The Everest Files is action adventure thriller for young adult readers. Its the first book in a series of three books and
it was inspired by Matt Dickinson's own climb up Mount Everest.
Ryan, an eighteen-year-old American, is on a gap year adventure. He is working for a medical charity in the Nepal.
A local girl asks him to find out why her sixteen-year-old Sherpa friend Kami never have come back from an expedition
up Mount Everest with a wealthy American politician. Some says he's alive and others say he's dead. Ryan, who is
determined and adventurous, can't resist the challenge. Kami's story takes place at the magnificent and terrifying
slopes of Mount Everest and it is very moving. The story is fast paced and there are some very tense moments.
One of the themes of the book is how climbers disturb the natural order of the Nepalese mountains and Mount
Everest itself is one of the main characters of this dramatic mystery. Another theme of the book is the importance of
showing respect for other cultures, and the author is dedicated his book to the three Sherpas who he climbed up
Everest with.
The Everest Files is very much exciting and the ending was unexpected. I really enjoyed to read it and I recommend
it to both girls and boys who like learn about other cultures and love adventure. I'm looking forward to the second
book in the series.
