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

- Last week, I went to Caen and I visited its famous museum about WWII: the Memorial Museum - Was the visit interesting? - Yes, I learned a lot of things because we had a very good guide, Michel. The visit starts a few years before the war and it shows the rise of fascism in Europe. I found that part terrifying. It was also very moving when we saw all the victims of the war. Now, I want to visit the beaches where D-Day took place in 1944.
