In August I took part in an open water event in Belgium. Damme-Bruges is a well-known international swim meeting. Everybody can take part both in competition and recreationally. I achieved in breast stroke the finishline. The water temperature was less than 20°C. The hard (long distance) training was very rewarding for me.

I've achieved to speak and read three foreign languages, among them English, and I find it rewarding. At the same time, of course, it doesn'n mean that I am at the end of learning.

When I spoke to the English-speaking man the first time in my life, and he understood me, I felt really rewarding. I hope I will have more such pleasant moments which help me to achieve more in learning English.

Know English is be part of the global community and it's a achieve to me. It's a rewarding when in English I can talk and understand is a rewarding. I think the only thing to change knowledge between people from different countries is the English language. With it we can do a world revolution without politics neither religious but only using the Science.
