Here the word "due" is used as an Idiom. The word "due" would most commonly be seen as such "The phone bill is due this month", meaning that the person owe money for his phone service this month. So you can see the same phrase above as "Many thanks are owed to editorial Team under Alex." but sounds a bit off in my personal opinion.

Describe an event that really frightened you

What I'm going to describe is an event which happened one month ago but it is still very vivid in my mind, as if it happened recently. First of all I have to say that I truly enjoy wandering around my city and I used to do it every day. Consequently, as usual, I was walking back home from the university. by walking.

But that day things went differently. As I was crossing the road, suddenly I felt my feet lost in the air and my back on the ground. I was stunned by the fact that a car had just hitted me. At first I wondered if I was dead or alive. Then I started touching my body, which at first I didn't feel, everywhere in order to understand whether I had injuries anywhere. Everything had just happened so quickly.

Only when I managed to rationally realize what had just happened I started crying so loudly that people around me thought I was suffering because of some wounds. Actually I was only incredibly frightened and scared stiff. Basically the closer they came, the more I screamed.

However after a while I was able to call my dad by telephone. He was the only person I wanted to see in that moment. He hurried up from work to reach me and he immediately called the ambulance even after I asked him not to. Clearly the fact was that I didn't want waste the day in an Emergency Room. Anyway the ambulance drove me to the nearest ER where I spent five hours waiting for them to examine me.

Finally they examinated me and told me I don't have any serious injuries. Eventually I returned home, still scared but totally relieved to be safe and sound.
