Hello, everybody.

I'm going to practice writing because I want to take B2 First next year, maybe I will post some texts here. I would be appreciate for your reviews. But in this post I have a particular interest and here it is.

I'm looking for a service with appropriate prices or for free. The other day I was watching Youtube and they mentioned an online service where you can check you writing. On the site it is told that your writing will be checked by natives. That service offers 300 characters for free (including spaces, so it's only about 2-3 sentences). Since I try to improve my writing giving as full answers as I can to the questions in my textbook, I decided to find out what they will say about my writing. Frankly, I didn't expect they will only underline one letter. I wrote "Cup", and I should have written "cup". On the whole the editor's note was, "Excellent".
So I ask you, would you please check these sentences too. I'm very curious whether it was a honeypot in order to make me using this service or am I so f...g good (sarcasm).

Here those sentenetnces are:
"I don't watch football matches on TV except the ones of the Russian team in the World Cup. Once I watched a match at the stadium when my home city club was playing. I can't say that I was particularly impressed, either with the game itself or with the atmosphere."

Aksamitka, maybe I didn't get the meaning of that sentence and you're right. And I shouldn't have checked this word at Urban dictionary.

Omg, what a tricky word. Actually, you're quite right. I just translated it into English. I thought it was pretty decent and appropriate.

I suggest you try this

It was immensely helpful during my self-prep course for CPE.
