× I really like my hometown because it's a very beautiful place and it, it is surrounded by mountains and unlike the atmosphere and they're so beautiful and so peaceful.
✓ I really like my hometown because it's a very beautiful place and it is surrounded by mountains. I like the atmosphere; it is so beautiful and so peaceful.
The original sentence incorrectly uses 'unlike the atmosphere' and 'they're' which causes confusion. 'Unlike' is not appropriate here, and 'they're' incorrectly refers to 'atmosphere' which is singular. The sentence is corrected by separating ideas and using the correct pronouns to clearly express the meaning.
× The air there, umm, so fresh and clean, so, so many kind of butterflies.
✓ The air there is so fresh and clean, and there are so many kinds of butterflies.
The phrase 'so many kind of butterflies' is incorrect because 'kind' should be pluralized to 'kinds' when referring to multiple types. Also, the sentence lacks the verb 'is' after 'The air there' and 'there are' before 'so many kinds of butterflies' to be grammatically correct.
× I have lived in my hometown for most of my life, but about five years ago, after I graduate from my high school, I moved to big city to continue my education so I can get more opportunities in the big city.
✓ I have lived in my hometown for most of my life, but about five years ago, after I graduated from high school, I moved to a big city to continue my education so I could get more opportunities there.
The verb 'graduate' should be in the past tense 'graduated' to match the past time reference 'about five years ago'. Also, 'big city' needs an article 'a' before it. 'Can' is changed to 'could' to maintain past tense consistency.
× I don't think my hometown is, umm, a good place for young people because the salary is less and the cost of living is cheaper.
✓ I don't think my hometown is a good place for young people because the salaries are low and the cost of living is cheap.
'Salary is less' is incorrect; it should be 'salaries are low' to correctly express the idea in plural form and proper adjective use. 'Cheaper' is comparative and needs a comparison object; 'cheap' is more appropriate here.
× But it's not still, it's still not balance for the income and the outcome and there and yeah.
✓ But it is still not balanced between income and expenses.
The original sentence is ungrammatical and unclear. 'Not still' is incorrect word order, and 'balance' should be 'balanced' as an adjective. 'Outcome' is not the correct word here; 'expenses' is more appropriate. The sentence is restructured for clarity and correctness.
