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

- We absolutely must try their new ride, which is a tube slide with six bends! - I'm in! Let me just put on some more sun lotion so that I don't get sunburnt like last time... - Has anyone seen Martine? I thought she'd be in the whirlpool bath, but she wasn't. - I need someone to come with me to the changing-rooms, I think I left my swim goggles there. We'll look for Martine while we're at it. - I found her at a table by the bar, where she went to find some shade. - Stop splashing me! My eyes get all puffy from chlorine! - If you didn't want to get wet, you shouldn't have come to the water park in the first place... - That's enough! Be nice to each other, if you don't want us to leave early.
