Write&Improve
I usually use the Cambridge Dictionary because I found it much better at some points than others. There have been some occasions that I haven't found the meaning of an idiom, phrasal verb or any other word there. Some of the things that I like from this dictionary is the examples that it provides (a bunch of) and also the option to listen to each word in the UK or US English.
A couple of months ago, I saw another option there which is called "Write&Improve". Depending on your level of English you can write essays in each category that it has. I have used it twice, but now I think I'm going to be using it more often since is becoming difficult to get corrections here.
It's interesting because sometimes you don't have any idea in mind to write about, and it provides you a diversity of ideas. For example, I just finished this one: "An autobiographical essay: My proudest moment". It also has some questions that you can follow in order to create your essay. When you finish writing it, you have to post it and automatically they show you what have been your mistakes.
It's another way to continue boosting your writing. Let's take a rest on italki notebook.

[Hi Luisa. Excellent work. You have a high level of fluency. Many of these sentences could have come from a native speaker. Most of the mistakes are small, and I've made suggestions to make the writing sound more "native." For example:
1) "At some points," typically refers to a time. If I say, "I was confused at some points," it means I was confused at certain moments. If you want to say that a dictionary does some things better than others, it would be better to say it's better "on some points" or "in certain ways."
2) The word "alguno/a" in Spanish can be difficult to translate into English. If you say "I haven't found the meaning of... any other word," it means the dictionary has no definitions. It's better to say "I haven't found the meaning of certain words."
3) The word "diversity" is tricky, especially right now in America. It has a political meaning, typically relating to the ethnic makeup of a group of people. The way you used it here is technically correct, and 50 years ago no one would have seen anything wrong with that sentence. But I suggested a different word, because today "diversity" is not the word you'd use in that sentence.
Overall, outstanding writing.]
