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

When I'm not at school, I help my neighbours. For example, I visit Fiona. She is seventy-three, and she lives with her cat Pirate. Her legs hurt, so I go to the shop for her, and I do her food shop [US: shopping]. I also help Mathieu with his homework. He doesn't like to read, but he's not shy with me. I love being useful!

Clever stuff happening!
