| Joe is being interviewed aobut his trip to the top of Mount Everest. |
|
 | Sir, how did you manage to get to the summit without giving up? Surely you must have felt (despair) at times. | |
|
| Although the mountain may seem (daunting) at first, once you start climbing, nothing can (deter) you from getting to the top. | |

|
|
| How did you (contend) with the harsh and extreme conditions while hiking? | |
|
| I just made sure to wear many layers of thick, warm clothing so that I wouldn't freeze to death. | |
|

|
|
|
|
| Do you have any advice for future climbers of Mount Everest? | |
|
| If they want to reach the top, they will have to keep themselves from becoming (despondent). They should never lose hope. | |
