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

My brother Samuel is married to Karine. They met five years ago, when Samuel was on a business trip in Brussels. It was love at first sight! After only a few months, Karine came to live with him, then they moved into a bigger apartment. The first time I met her, I was a bit nervous but we hit it off right away! When they got married last summer, I had tears in my eyes all day! I wish them all the happiness in the world, and I hope that one day I'll meet someone who will make me that happy!
