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

- (The) Girls, do you prefer watching TV or Netflix? - Me, I love the routine of (the) TV! When I come home from work, I have fun with my favourite game show, I have dinner with the news, then I relax with a film or a series. Even (the) ads [US: commercials] don't bother me, I know them by heart! - Ah no, me, I hate (the) ads [US: commercials]! On Netflix, you can avoid them, and you can also pick your programme. That's so much better!

Clever stuff happening!
