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

In France, health is a universal right. When we must go to the hospital, we don't pay, because it's already included in our taxes. When we go to the doctor or for prescriptions at the pharmacy, we have to present our "carte Vitale", and the Assurance Maladie reimburses us after a few days. And you, how does it work in your country?

Clever stuff happening!
