What was the most serious challenge that you took part in? Well, in my life there were many situations which, in hindsight, I could name a challenge. For example, I was (and am) always scared of jumping into water, but it didn't stop me from trying scuba diving and even from jumping into the water from a ten-meter-high cliff. It didn't make me brave, though. Jumping into the water even from the edge of the pool still frightens the living daylights out of me. That is very strange providing I used to skydive and I managed to learn scuba diving at almost professional degree (PADI Rescue Diver). Next, the most serious challenges for me always were the exams. It's only getting worse with age. Even the thought of the CAE exam, and especially it's speaking part, drives me crazy. At the moment, besides this challenge, I take part in several challenges. The first one is a healthy nutrition marathon. It started at the same time as our writing challenge. Strictly speaking, it isn't a marathon or a challenge, it's a new and perfect way of nutrition, which I hope I will follow for the rest of my life. But it was really a big challenge for me to get used to all it's rules and details, especially to measurements and records, to organise myself. The next challenge was Language Heroes. It started almost 3 weeks ago, and it stimulates me to spend 2 hours daily on learning English. Actually, I can count writing time, but I forget to write here from time to time as I have many tasks on that other marathon, and I have my own plan of studying. In addition, a couple of weeks ago I joined the Expert Advanced marathon, which was started by our respected September, one of EFL members. Although again, the time I spent on Expert Advanced is credited on my 2 daily hours of English in LH. Moreover, to make things worse, two days ago I started to refresh my French, which I used to learn 20 years ago. I'm so crazy! But I can't stop myself from taking more and more tasks this summer. Definitely, it's the absence of work and especially of my younger son, who is in the summer camp at the moment, that makes me take more and more obligations.
