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

- Hello Danielle, what are you eating? - Hello Noa, it's a raw vegetable salad. I'm trying to eat better. - Really? Is there a reason? - Not really, I just want to feel better. - How did you change your diet? - First, I stopped ordering takeaway meals. Then, I started drinking (some) fruit juice because (the) sodas are too sugary. And now, when I'm hungry between (the) meals, I choose (some) carrots or (some) almonds. - That's a very good idea !

Let me take a look at that...
