× Is a small town.
✓ It is a small town.
The sentence lacks a subject before the verb 'is'. In English, sentences require a subject; here, 'It' refers to 'My hometown'. Therefore, 'It is a small town.' is correct.
× Like I said before, it's a small town and it's beautiful and it's not as busy as other towns, so like it, I like being here.
✓ Like I said before, it's a small town and it's beautiful and it's not as busy as other towns, so I like it, I like being here.
The phrase 'so like it' is incorrect because 'like' is used as a verb and needs a subject. The correct form is 'so I like it'. This clarifies the subject performing the action.
× I have been living here since 30 years, actually since much since my birth.
✓ I have been living here for 30 years, actually since my birth.
When expressing duration with 'since', it should be followed by a point in time, not a period. 'For' is used with periods of time. Also, 'since much since my birth' is incorrect; 'since my birth' suffices.
× I don't think so because like I said before is a small town and haven't got any job opportunities for young people so it's better to move to other towns.
✓ I don't think so because, like I said before, it is a small town and hasn't got any job opportunities for young people, so it's better to move to other towns.
The sentence is missing the subject 'it' before 'is a small town'. Also, 'haven't' should be 'hasn't' to agree with the singular subject 'it'. Proper punctuation improves clarity.
