Q1.
A. Use the words to complete these sentences.

Word box: journey · memories · Sherpa · Himalayas · snowman · heavyloads

1. Minam saw the tall peaks of the ........................ .
Answer

Minam saw the tall peaks of the Himalayas.

From the hilltop, “Minam could see the huge peaks of the Himalayas shining in the sun”.

Why Himalayas: Only one word in the box is the name of a mountain range. Peaks are the pointed tops of mountains, so the blank must be the name of mountains.
Spelling tip: Himalayas begins with a capital H because it is the name of one special place.
Q2.
A. Use the words to complete these sentences.

Word box: journey · memories · Sherpa · Himalayas · snowman · heavyloads

2. Her grandfather was once a ............................ .
Answer

Her grandfather was once a Sherpa.

The very first page tells us this: Minam loved listening to stories “from her grandfather, who was once a Sherpa”.

What a Sherpa does: A Sherpa is a guide who helps climbers in the Himalayas. Sherpas know the safe paths and can carry loads high up in the thin, cold air.

Your own sentence: The Sherpa showed the climbers the safest path up the slope.

Q3.
A. Use the words to complete these sentences.

Word box: journey · memories · Sherpa · Himalayas · snowman · heavyloads

3. They went on a long ............................ to the mountains.
Answer

They went on a long journey to the mountains.

Her grandfather had promised, “Today, I will take you on a special journey to the mountains.”

Why journey: A journey means travelling from one place to another. The words long and to the mountains tell us that the blank is about travelling.

Your own sentence: Our journey to my grandmother’s village took five hours by bus.

Q4.
A. Use the words to complete these sentences.

Word box: journey · memories · Sherpa · Himalayas · snowman · heavyloads

4. Yaks are used by mountain people to carry heavy ............................ .
Answer

Yaks are used by mountain people to carry heavy loads.

Minam’s grandfather said about yaks, “They give us milk, wool, and help carry heavy loads.”

Note — a printing slip in the book: The word box on page 117 prints heavyloads as one word. The sentence already has the word heavy, so the blank needs only loads. Write loads in the blank. The box should have read “heavy loads” as two words, or simply “loads”.

Your own sentence: The mules carried heavy loads of grain up the hill.

Q5.
A. Use the words to complete these sentences.

Word box: journey · memories · Sherpa · Himalayas · snowman · heavyloads

5. They saw the snow-covered mountains. She and her grandfather made a small ............................ .
Answer

She and her grandfather made a small snowman.

The story says, “She and her grandfather made a small snowman. They laughed and played, making memories Minam would value forever.”

Why snowman: The sentence before it talks about snow-covered mountains. The only thing in the word box that you can make out of snow is a snowman.
Word building: snowman is two small words joined into one — snow + man. English has many such words: rainbow, football, classroom.
Q6.
A. Use the words to complete these sentences.

Word box: journey · memories · Sherpa · Himalayas · snowman · heavyloads

6. The day created beautiful ............................ for Minam.
Answer

The day created beautiful memories for Minam.

The story uses the same word: they were “making memories Minam would value forever”.

Why memories: A memory is something you remember and keep in your heart. A whole happy day leaves you with memories, not with things.

Your own sentence: Our school trip gave me memories I will never forget.
