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

Last Saturday, we finally moved house. We had spent weeks packing everything. The removal van arrived very early. Unfortunately, the lift was not working, so we had to carry everything upstairs. One of the boxes was much heavier than I expected. When I opened it, I found all my old books. I had forgotten how many I had kept! Our new neighbours came to introduce themselves. They even helped us move a large sofa. By the evening, we were completely exhausted. However, we still had dozens of boxes to unpack. Although the day was difficult, the flat already felt like home. I think we are going to be very happy here.

I'll be right with you...
