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

- What do you do for a living? - I'm a hairdresser and I own a hair salon in the city centre [US:downtown]. Sometimes, I also go to my clients' places when they can't walk for example. I love my job because I meet a lot of people. I'm also very chatty, and I know all the secrets of my regulars! Of course, there are some difficult customers, but they're always happy when they leave my salon!

Getting that for you now...
