Lang-8

I used to access Lang-8 some years ago to practice my writing. I made some friends there and learned a lot, but Lang-8 is over , most of user are inactive now and I don't get corrections anymore. So looked up for a new website to practice my writing and found Lang correct and I'm still testing it . Let's see what happens.


Eu acessa Lang-8 alguns anos atrás para praticar minha escrita. Eu fiz alguns amigos lá e aprendi muito, mas Lang-8 acabou, a maioria dos usuários estão inativos agora e eu não recebo mais correções. Então eu pesquisei um novo site para praticar minha escrita e encontrei Lang Correct e eu estou testando ainda. Vamos ver o que acontece.

Corrections

Lang-8

I used to accesswork with Lang-8 somea few years ago to practice my writing.

I changed "access" to "work with". The word "access" is used when you have the availability of something:
"I can access the backroom with my key." (I can get into the back room with my key.)
"Do you have access to a computer?" (Do you have a computer at home that you can use?)

To "work with" something sounds better here, since you are "working with" a program

I made some friends there and learned a lot, but Lang-8 is over , m. Most of users are now inactive now and I don't get corrections anymore.

You said "over ," - try to avoid that. You don't put a space before punctuation. Just simply "over,"

So, I looked up for a new website to practice my writing and found Lang cCorrect and. I'm still testing it .

You need a comma after "so" because you are using it here as a transition word.
You also were missing the subject of the sentence before "looked up", so I added "I"
I broke up the sentence into two, so that it flows better.

Let's see what happens.

Feedback
