× I am from a town called Agora which is the largest of metropolitan city by area and population of Lumini province.
✓ I am from a town called Agora which is the largest metropolitan city by area and population in Lumini province.
The phrase 'largest of metropolitan city' is incorrect because 'city' should be plural or the phrase should be restructured. Here, 'largest metropolitan city' is correct. Also, 'of Lumini province' should be 'in Lumini province' to indicate location.
× It is also known for landscape and slightly milder climate and provide a gateway to the surrounding regions of Rolpa, Pewdon, Rukhum.
✓ It is also known for its landscape and slightly milder climate and provides a gateway to the surrounding regions of Rolpa, Pewdon, Rukhum.
The sentence lacks possessive pronoun 'its' before 'landscape'. Also, 'provide' should be 'provides' to agree with singular subject 'It'.
× It is well connected to the tourist destination such as Bourdain National Park, Surkett etc.
✓ It is well connected to tourist destinations such as Bourdain National Park, Surkett, etc.
'The tourist destination' should be plural 'tourist destinations' because multiple places are mentioned. Also, a comma is needed before 'etc.' and 'the' is unnecessary here.
× I really like the vibrant atmosphere of my hometown, especially during festival and special events when the streets comes alive with music and celebrations, it is a very convenient because everything I need, from soft to public transport is nearby.
✓ I really like the vibrant atmosphere of my hometown, especially during festivals and special events when the streets come alive with music and celebrations. It is very convenient because everything I need, from shops to public transport, is nearby.
'Festival' should be plural 'festivals' to match 'special events'. 'Streets comes' should be 'streets come' for subject-verb agreement. 'It is a very convenient' should be 'It is very convenient' (adjective without article). 'From soft to public transport' is incorrect; likely meant 'from shops to public transport'.
× In addition, I appreciate the friendly community and the unique culture that make my town feel warm and welcoming.
✓ In addition, I appreciate the friendly community and the unique culture that make my town feel warm and welcoming.
The relative clause 'that make' refers to two singular nouns joined by 'and' (community and culture), so 'make' is correct as plural verb.
× I have lived here all my life because my ancestors have lived in this area for many generations since I was born here.
✓ I have lived here all my life because my ancestors have lived in this area for many generations, and I was born here.
The sentence is a run-on; it needs to be split or connected properly. 'Since I was born here' is better as a separate clause connected with 'and'.
× I feel very connected to this place and my fam, my and my family story.
✓ I feel very connected to this place, my family, and my family story.
'My fam, my and my family story' is redundant and unclear. 'Fam' is informal; better to use 'family'. The phrase is corrected for clarity and proper pronoun use.
× Yeah, my hometown is a good place for young people because it offer a secure and welcoming environment where they can live comfortably and socialize easily.
✓ Yeah, my hometown is a good place for young people because it offers a secure and welcoming environment where they can live comfortably and socialize easily.
'It offer' should be 'it offers' to agree with singular subject 'it'.
× For example, the cost of living is quite affordable, including home, including housing, transportation and food, which make it easier for the young people to make their expenses.
✓ For example, the cost of living is quite affordable, including housing, transportation, and food, which makes it easier for young people to manage their expenses.
'Including home, including housing' is redundant; 'housing' suffices. 'Make' should be 'makes' to agree with singular subject 'cost'. 'Make their expenses' is incorrect; 'manage their expenses' is better.
