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

Yesterday, I went shopping in order to find the perfect outfit for my sister's wedding. I tried on a green suit but it was too tight. Then, I tried on a light blue suit. I really liked it, but the groom is also going to wear (some) blue, so I couldn't take it. After several disappointments, I finally found a beautiful dark grey suit and it suits me perfectly! I'm going to look very handsome and elegant!

I'll be right with you...
