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

- Did you enjoy your starter, Sir ? - Yes, the pumpkin soup was delicious. I can't wait to taste the next course. - Excellent! Are you ready to order the main course? Our autumnal menu only uses seasonal ingredients. The mushroom risotto is very popular. - Perfect! Mushrooms are my favourite vegetables. And for dessert, I have not decided yet. - I recommend (to you) two new desserts: the apple tart or the pear with chocolate sauce. - I am going to choose the apple tart, thank you. - Fantastic! I'll come back in a few minutes with your drink.

Let me take a look at that...
