× It's quiet, safe, and comfortable, which makes my family a great place.
✓ It's quiet, safe, and comfortable, which makes my hometown a great place.
The pronoun 'my family' is incorrectly used here; the sentence intends to describe the hometown, not the family. Replacing 'my family' with 'my hometown' corrects the meaning and grammatical reference.
× I have been living there for three years.
✓ I have lived there for three years.
The present perfect continuous tense 'have been living' is less appropriate here because the action is a state rather than an ongoing activity. The present perfect simple 'have lived' better expresses the duration of residence.
× Yes, I think it's a good play place because for example, we often go to the school park for techniques and it's only takes 10 minutes to drive to her my daughter's school and there are also several grocery stores nearby and there's a popular play place like a local park.
✓ Yes, I think it's a good place for young people because, for example, we often go to the school park for activities, and it only takes 10 minutes to drive to my daughter's school. There are also several grocery stores nearby, and there's a popular local park for playing.
The original sentence is a run-on with multiple errors: 'play place' is awkward, 'for techniques' is unclear, 'it's only takes' is incorrect verb usage, and 'to her my daughter's school' is redundant and incorrect. Breaking the sentence into clearer parts, correcting verb forms, and using appropriate vocabulary improves clarity and grammatical correctness.
