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

- This winter, I went skiing in the Alps with my best friend Frank. We spent four days going down the slopes, it was really great! Generally, I prefer the mountains to the beach. I find that more stimulating, because activities are more diverse there. Plus, when it's cold, we quickly get bored at the seaside. In the mountains, summer is as nice as winter! - Yes, you're not wrong, beaches are quite depressing in winter. Next year, I'm coming with you to the Alps!
