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

- Claire, do you remember the nice bar where we met last year? - Yes, Zoé! They had just opened for the first time. - Recently, they renovated their terrace which really needed it! - I would love to go back there because their drinks menu included some very interesting choices. For example, they offered some original cocktails that I really wanted to try! Would you like to accompany me tonight for an apéritif? - Yes! We should order different cocktails with a platter of cold cuts and cheeses. - What an excellent idea!

I'll be right with you...
