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

A few days ago, I bought a house. It is very pretty and in good condition. But I want to do some renovations in order to redecorate certain rooms. First, I am going to paint the living room and I am going to order a new shower for the bathroom. Then, I am going to change the kitchen because I don't like its style. Finally, I am going to replace the windows and install two new radiators in the bedrooms. My friends and my parents are going to help me. We're going to have fun!

Getting that for you now...
