This was a fluid piece without major errors, for example,  you said "Certainly it's amazing!" but have a look at the way in  which I have corrected your work. There were a couple of structural problems  with this piece of writing for example, you said "I and my friends  feel". The correct form is "my friends and I".

Sometimes, my friends and I feel bored by white collar's  urban lifestyle. We feel like to let out our pressures in a drastic way. One  day, Bob, one of my colleagues directed our attentions onto bungee jumping,  one of the new emerged fashionable extreme sports. Bob said he tried the  bungee jumping first time from a bridge, and then from the top platform of a  skyscraper, and even from the edge of the precipice. "What a rush! And  you will be speechless for a while after jumping." "Overwhelmed or  amazed?" I asked. "Certainly it's amazing!" Bob goes for  bungee jumping every month. I know he enjoys it, even through he never  strikes us as a thrill seeker. As Bob says, we are often eloquent on  overcoming oneself. Actually, bungee jumping will tap into the basic weak  points of our personality, and amend them, "when you step toward the  edge while shaking%% in your shoes, sweating profusely, and seeing your life  flashes... Pump yourself up! Jump!" Trusting the only elastic rope with  your life will help you do away with your doubts, fears and stresses. I am  fascinated. Can I do it? But I answered "No, I have fear of  height." when he invited me. Finally, Bob added, "Go with me this  weekend, or you'd never hear the end of it."
