× My hometown is in Cebu city of Shandong province.

✓ My hometown is in Cebu City, Shandong Province.

The preposition 'of' is incorrectly used here. When indicating a city within a province, we use a comma to separate the city and province names, not 'of'. Also, 'City' and 'Province' should be capitalized as proper nouns.

× before Zibo city is a small uh city uh, no one knows there.

✓ Before Zibo City, there is a small city that no one knows about.

The sentence structure is unclear and lacks proper subject-verb agreement. 'No one knows there' is incorrect; it should be 'no one knows about it' or 'that no one knows about'. Also, 'Zibo city' should be 'Zibo City' as a proper noun.

× But these days more and more uh popular food is BBQ uh, there.

✓ But these days, more and more popular food like BBQ is available there.

The preposition 'is BBQ there' is awkward. It is better to say 'popular food like BBQ is available there' to clarify meaning and improve sentence flow.

× I like it. My hometown event, our cultural umm this. My hometown is umm chi destiny. Hmm.

✓ I like it. My hometown has many cultural events. My hometown is my destiny.

The original sentences are fragmented and unclear. 'My hometown event, our cultural umm this' is incomplete and lacks a verb. 'Chi destiny' seems to be a mispronunciation or error; 'my destiny' fits better. Complete sentences with clear subjects and verbs are necessary.

× I have been, uh, there for over 20 years uh, yes, when I was a child, I live with my parents, live there, live here and uh, uh, when I came into my university, I will go, uh, the other place, but in every.

✓ I have been there for over 20 years. When I was a child, I lived with my parents there. When I went to university, I went to another place, but I always returned.

The sentence mixes tenses incorrectly. 'I live' should be past tense 'I lived' to match 'when I was a child'. 'I will go' should be past tense 'I went' to maintain consistency. The sentence is also fragmented and needs to be split for clarity.

× It should be. I think I should so.

✓ It should be. I think so too.

'I think I should so' is incorrect. The modal verb 'should' is misused here. The correct expression is 'I think so too' to agree with the previous statement.

× But this question was subjective and it comes down person to person.

✓ But this question is subjective and depends on the person.

The sentence mixes past and present tense incorrectly ('was' and 'comes'). Also, 'comes down person to person' is awkward; 'depends on the person' is clearer and grammatically correct.

× And every some young people depends on their goals and.

✓ And some young people depend on their goals.

'Every some young people' is incorrect; it should be 'some young people'. Also, 'depends' should be 'depend' to agree with the plural subject 'people'. The sentence is incomplete and should end properly.
