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

My brother and I have always loved video games. When we were younger, we used to spend hours in front of the screen. As soon as we were home from school, we would pounce on the console. Our mother even had to hide it in order to make us do our homework. Out of all our games, Zelda was the one that we liked the most. As I grew up, I developed other interests and I played less and less. As for my brother, he kept on playing and he even became a video game designer!
