How the test works

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

- Hello, I am looking for a gift. It is for my girlfriend. - What does she like? - She loves (the) scarves and (the) cardigans and she also likes (the) flowers and the colour purple. - Very well! I have two options for you: a purple woollen cardigan or a beautiful floral scarf. - It's very hard to choose, but I am going to buy the woollen cardigan because she already has a lot of scarves. - That's an excellent choice, Sir!
