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

- Excuse me! Could you help me, please? I'm looking for the bookshop "Shakespeare and Company". - Of course! Go straight ahead and turn left at the next street. You can't miss it, it's just opposite Notre-Dame. - Thank you! I would also like to see the Panthéon. - It's about ten-minute walk from here. Just walk up the rue Saint-Jacques and you'll see it on your right. - And how to get to the Jardin du Luxembourg from the Panthéon? - It's very easy. Continue straight on past the Panthéon. The garden is only a few minutes away (from there). - Perfect! Thank you very much for your help. - You're welcome! Have a nice day in the neighbourhood!

I'll be right with you...
