How the test works

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

- I hate gardening because it's very messy and I don't like getting dirty. Besides, I've never been very patient so waiting months for one tomato... No thanks! - Oh no! I don't agree at all! I love being in my garden. I've always found it magical. You plant this little seed, you add a bit of water, a bit of love, and you get a giant tree, a lovely plant, colourful flowers, or even free food!

I'll be right with you...
