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

HUGO: And you Marie, what do you do? MARIE: I create jewellery from recycled materials. HUGO: Ah! You're an artist! And what types of objects do you recycle? MARIE: I use plastic cards, electrical wires,... Sometimes, I cut up clothes that I don't wear anymore, and I make headbands and bracelets out of them. I also recycle old jewellery which is out of fashion or broken. HUGO: What a good idea! I'm sure that my wife would be very interested to discover your creations. Could you show me your designs? MARIE: Of course, give me your mobile [US: cellphone] number, and I'll send you my website's address.
