How the test works

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

Anne Dorval is my favourite actress. She's Quebecois and she is really extraordinary! She can play everything. In "The heart has its reasons", a parody of American soap operas, she is so funny!
