He finished his work, sat on the nearest bench, and ate a chocolate bar. His eyes still hurt and he saw world around a little bit blurring (the world around him was a little bit blurry/the world around him looked a little bit blurry/his vision was a little bit blurred).
The heads of the competition didn’t know where the winner lived, but a half of year half a year later they finally sent him a prize. This way award has found its champion although a little bit later.
(Not sure the best way to say this, but maybe "The award found its champion -- a little late.")

“Another mug of coffee and I will be ready to go home. I haven’t warned up yet,” she said, and took a gulp of flavored coffee. [You mean coffee with vanilla or hazelnut flavor? Or do you mean the coffee is flavorful itself?]

 

[Watch out for verb tenses. Within one paragraph, unless you know exactly what you're doing, the tenses should agree if things all take place in the same general time period. And if you are already in past tense and want to describe things that happened before, you have to use the past perfect, e.g. "his friends had betrayed him."
