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

Today is Father's Day and I still have no gift for him. What a disaster I am! I should buy him something nice but that is practical and useful. Some stores are open today, even if it's a holiday. I think the best thing is that I buy him an elegant watch because his old one does not work and I just saw an open watch shop. I'm sure that he will like this gift, since he never leaves the house without his watch on his wrist.

I'll be right with you...
