How the test works

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

Yesterday, I watched "Bienvenue chez les Ch'tis". It's a famous French movie. I found it very funny and interesting. Indeed, I learned a lot about French culture, and (about) the differences between the North and the South. The word "ch'ti", for example, refers to the Northern accent, because they pronounce "petit" like that! They also have completely different words, like "dracher" to say "to rain". Of course, it was a bit exaggerated, but it was never insulting. And now, I want to visit the town of Bergues!

Getting that for you now...
