"Well, last academic year we counselled 240 international students for a total of 2600 hours counselling, and finally we won all but just one of the twelve appeals that we lauched on the behalf of students." Is the underline means "but 1/12 the students which we have counselled appeals that we should do better in the best interests of students.
Thank you.
@jinmin1988,
"all but just one of the twelve appeals" is intended to sound like they have done very well - whatever it is the have done.
The word 'lauched' should be 'launched'.
we won eleven of the twelve
we won 11 of the 12 appeals
