How the test works

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

Sandra: - Valentine's Day is a really special day, isn't it?
Marcos: - Yes, many people celebrate it as a couple.
Sandra: - Of course, but plans can vary depending on personal preferences. For example, some go out for dinner while others prefer a quiet dinner at home.
Marcos: - Oh yes, I prefer to be at home relaxing with my girlfriend! It's hard to find a free table at any restaurant on that day and on top of it I prefer to celebrate in the privacy of our own home.
Sandra: - Interesting. And what do you think about gifts? Are they necessary?
Marcos: - Well, you know that flowers and chocolates are the standard gifts, but I don't like them. I prefer a less materialistic gift.
Sandra: - I agree with you, I think it's nicer to do something together on that day without spending too much money.

I'll be right with you...
