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

I hate being sick because it's exhausting. When I have a fever, I rest a lot and I cover my forehead with a cold towel to lower my temperature. And when I have a cold, I wear warm clothes and I drink hot water with (some) lemon and (some) honey. It really helps!

I'll be right with you...
