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

- Hello Charlotte, have you planned anything for the weekend? - No Théo, I haven't had time to think about it. I am exhausted because I haven't stopped working this week. But I would really like to have fun this weekend! - I bought two tickets to attend an outdoor concert. My friend Marie was supposed to accompany me but she fell ill and she can't come anymore. Would you like to come with me? - Yes Théo, I'd love to go (there) with you! Plus, the weather is going to be very nice this weekend, so it would be a shame to stay home. - Fantastic! I'll pick you up at 5pm on Saturday!

Let me take a look at that...
