How the test works

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

- Priya, we really need to finalise the programme of our music festival soon. - I agree, Arthur. I would like (us) to get in touch with that new jazz band (which) everyone is talking about on social media. - Ok, but if their manager asks for too much money, we will have to look for a famous local band who will still draw a big enough crowd. - Have you managed to book all the equipment that we'll need for the festival? - We have already organised everything for the stage, but we are still missing a few extra speakers so that the audience can hear the music from every angle. - Excellent! I think that we are nearly done with the preparations. - Yes, there are only a few minor details left to iron out. Let's hope that the weather holds!
