How the test works

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

My job has been so stressful the last few months that I'm dreaming of going away for a spa weekend! I would book a luxurious hotel in the countryside, where they'd offer a range of body-care treatments. I would start with a full-body massage to release all the stress that has been building up in my body recently. Then, I would enjoy their heated indoor swimming pool and I would spend some time in their sauna. In the afternoon, I would have some facial treatments, like a purifying green clay mask and a gentle exfoliation. The next day, I would attend one of their yoga classes, which I would follow with a relaxing meditation session. I would feel so much better after such a weekend!
