× Additionally, the town has a beautiful parks and green spaces, making it pleasant place to relax and Eno enjoy nature.
✓ Additionally, the town has beautiful parks and green spaces, making it a pleasant place to relax and enjoy nature.
The phrase 'a beautiful parks' is incorrect because 'parks' is plural and should not be preceded by the singular article 'a'. Also, 'pleasant place' requires the article 'a' before it. The word 'Eno' seems to be a typo and should be removed. Correct usage is 'beautiful parks' and 'a pleasant place'.
× I have lived there for about since my childhood.
✓ I have lived there since my childhood.
The phrase 'for about since' is incorrect because 'for' is used with a duration (e.g., 'for ten years'), while 'since' is used with a point in time (e.g., 'since childhood'). Here, 'since my childhood' is correct without 'for about'.
× During this time I've grown quite familiar with neighborhood and its community, which makes me feel comfortable at home.
✓ During this time I've grown quite familiar with the neighborhood and its community, which makes me feel comfortable at home.
The noun 'neighborhood' is countable and singular here, so it requires the definite article 'the' before it to specify which neighborhood is being referred to.
× For example, I often visit local market and know many shop owners personally.
✓ For example, I often visit the local market and know many shop owners personally.
The phrase 'local market' is singular and specific, so it requires the definite article 'the' before it.
× Yes, my hometown is great for an great place for young people.
✓ Yes, my hometown is a great place for young people.
The original sentence is redundant and incorrectly structured with 'great for an great place'. The correct structure is 'a great place for young people'.
× It has plenty of recreational sports like parks, sports centres and cafes where they can hang out and win and win.
✓ It has plenty of recreational spots like parks, sports centres and cafes where they can hang out and win.
The phrase 'recreational sports' is incorrect here; it should be 'recreational spots' or 'places'. Also, the phrase 'win and win' seems to be a typo or repetition and should be corrected or removed. 'Win' does not fit the context here.
× Plus there were several schools and job opportunities close by, making easy for young adults to study and kick start their careers.
✓ Plus there are several schools and job opportunities close by, making it easy for young adults to study and kick start their careers.
The use of past tense 'were' is inconsistent with the present context. Since the student is describing current features of the hometown, present tense 'are' is appropriate. Also, 'making easy' is missing the pronoun 'it'.
