lesson 9 - Try something new

Ex. 11
Hi Miki,
The only advice I can give you is to overcome your fears and start speaking
English, because this is the only option to learn how to speak, I believe. You can even
start simply from the Internet, from simple correspondence, then start speaking
English in games or special programs for communication, it is not as embarrassing as
in life. In the end, you will have to speak live, if you want to master it, you can start
doing it with friends.

I left scared out of my wits – it was when I climbed to the very top of the great
railway bridge over the river.
Really impressed – it was the first time I visited the mountains.
Be over the moon – I felt this way when I passed the exams and entered the
university.

B.
I had an experience where friends encouraged me to climb a high railway
bridge that was high above the river, making it even higher. It was completely
uninsured, but I took the plunge and did it. Although it was very dangerous, it gave
me unreal emotions.

Ex. 4 A.
Looking at the title, I think that this article will be about self-development and
about certain activities that contribute to it.

B.
Yes, I guess I was right, this article is about self-improvement by doing some
unusual things that will help you get out of the box.

C.
In general, I agree with the author in how he divided the activities, I only
disagree with the intermediate level, namely the point about new recipes, still I put it
in the hard level.
