I don't think so. I think it's not ideal for the youngster because it's not offer a lot of tall buildings, infrastructure and don't have a lot of leisure activities. But otherwise it's really suitable for the one who wants to find a place for healing and relaxing.

× My village is surrounded by a lot of farm lands, bedding fields and a lot of fruit gardens, also with the tranquiled and fresh atmospheres during the year.
✓ My village is surrounded by a lot of farmlands, bedding fields, and many fruit gardens, also with tranquil and fresh atmospheres throughout the year.
The word 'tranquiled' is incorrect; the correct adjective is 'tranquil'. Also, 'a lot of' is repeated unnecessarily; 'many' is better for countable nouns like 'fruit gardens'. 'Atmospheres' is plural but usually 'atmosphere' is uncountable in this context. 'During the year' is better expressed as 'throughout the year'. These corrections improve clarity and grammatical accuracy.
× Even though Vietnam is a tropical country, but our village experience two types of seasons is sunny and rainy.
✓ Even though Vietnam is a tropical country, our village experiences two types of seasons: sunny and rainy.
Using both 'Even though' and 'but' together is redundant; only one is needed. Also, 'experience' should be 'experiences' to agree with the singular subject 'village'. The phrase 'two types of seasons is sunny and rainy' is incorrect; it should be 'two types of seasons: sunny and rainy' for clarity and correctness.
× So the weather is not boiling in the summer and it's not really freezing during the winter.
✓ So the weather is not boiling in the summer and it is not really freezing during the winter.
Contraction 'it's' is acceptable in speech but for clarity, 'it is' is better. No major grammatical error here, but maintaining consistency in formal speech is recommended.
× I was born embrace there for 10 years until my dad has change his job.
✓ I was born and lived there for 10 years until my dad changed his job.
The phrase 'was born embrace there' is incorrect; 'was born and lived there' is correct. 'Has change' should be 'changed' to match past tense narrative. The sentence needs past tense consistency to describe past events properly.
× So we need to move to the bustling city which is Kung Heu is also the city that I'm currently living in.
✓ So we needed to move to the bustling city of Kung Heu, which is also the city where I currently live.
The sentence is awkward and contains redundancy. 'Which is Kung Heu is also the city' is incorrect structure. Corrected to 'the bustling city of Kung Heu, which is also the city where I currently live' for clarity and grammatical correctness. Also, 'need' should be past tense 'needed' to match the past context.
× I don't think so. I think it's not ideal for the youngster because it's not offer a lot of tall buildings, infrastructure and don't have a lot of leisure activities.
✓ I don't think so. I think it's not ideal for youngsters because it does not offer a lot of tall buildings, infrastructure, and does not have many leisure activities.
'The youngster' should be plural 'youngsters' to generalize. 'It's not offer' is incorrect; should be 'it does not offer' to match subject-verb agreement and correct verb form. 'Don't have' should be 'does not have' to agree with singular subject 'it'. Also, 'a lot of' is better replaced with 'many' for countable nouns like 'leisure activities'.
× But otherwise it's really suitable for the one who wants to find a place for healing and relaxing.
✓ But otherwise, it's really suitable for those who want to find a place for healing and relaxing.
'The one' is too specific; 'those' is better for generalization. Also, 'wants' should agree with plural 'those' as 'want'. This correction improves pronoun agreement and clarity.
