Soccer!
I don't understand why most people in Latin American countries, and specially especially European countries, have the tendency tend to believe that we all like futbol soccer. That's not true! I don't like soccer, And and I know many other people who don’t like soccer either. There are thousands of people who find it not only boring, but also annoying! These soccer-lovers stare at us as though we were from another planet! Come on! There's nothing wrong about our with having differences different preferences and tastes; in fact, that’s one of the things that makes us human. Imagine a world where everybody enjoys the very same things and has having the same tastes. How boring! That would limit the creation of new Ideas ideas!
Anyway, I don't like soccer, Though although I don't hate it either.
I just happen to enjoy other activities: I love martial arts. (I have been Been training in kung fu since I was 11 eleven.) I enjoy Jogging jogging. I like Like watching MMA (mixed martial arts). Cardio and fitness activies activities are great exercise! to me...
To sum it up, not everyone enjoys soccer! It's not fun for many, many people, and no, I do not care about the World Cup! (Although, I would like visiting the participants’ countries.) I prefer to watch the Olyimpics Olympics— that’s real sports excitement at its best! TO THE FULLEST!

Czar:
Your opinions are well expressed and your preferences are clear. I agree with you that team sports are often a bore to watch.
In the composition, I noticed many run-on sentences, and I have seen in Italki that native English-speakers generally do not make these corrections as they should. When writing for business and academic purposes, for example, it is important to observe punctuation rules. Here is a link which briefly describes dependent and independent clauses and how to correctly punctuate a sentence: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Run-on_sentence. If you plan to do much writing, it would be good to understand how to use periods, commas, and semi-colons in sentences.
There is also some confusion about capitalization, and here is a link with those rules. www.grammarbook.com/default.asp
There are a few places I have put a word or phrase when I felt that clarity or completeness was improved. As your fluency improves—and I know it will, you are doing so well now—you may want to check your own compositions for “dead wood.” Notice the change made from “have the tendency” to “tend,” which mean the same thing. In general, using shorter words that will also express your ideas accurately can help make a composition better.

Hola Czar.This is written so well it is hard for me to find anything wrong with it. Congratulations! I do notice a number of spots where you used a comma and it appeared to me that a period was in order. But that is a very minor issue. Punctuation is not my strong point anyway. Elena is much better at it.
In conclusion, your writing was easily understood, vibrant, emotional and engaging. I enjoyed it.
Muchas gracias!
