How the test works

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

I live in Madrid with my family. It is a very big city, with many shops and restaurants. My flat is near an underground station and I usually go to the city centre by underground. My favourite place is Retiro Park because I like walking there with my friends. On Saturdays, we have lunch in the centre. There are always lots of people. In summer, Madrid is very hot but I really like my city. It is a great city!

Getting that for you now...
