Here's a preview of the text for the writing challenge, when you're ready click the start button above:

- Why do you want to learn French? - I have several reasons! First, I learned French for three years in secondary school [US: high school], and at the time, I loved my teacher, Mrs Duroc. She was dynamic and interesting, and she always found original ideas to make lessons fun! Unfortunately, I didn't keep on after that, and I must admit that I don't remember much, but I've always wanted to resume lessons, and now, I have a second reason to do it... I got a job in Paris!

Clever stuff happening!
