The pronoun 'who' is incorrectly used for countries; 'which' is appropriate for things or entities like countries. Also, 'wants' should be 'want' to agree with the plural subject 'countries'. Additionally, 'monuments that is presented' should be 'monuments that are presented' to match the plural noun 'monuments'.
× Yes, museums are really popular in my hometown since my country have rich history and many historical monuments that is presented in museums so it can educate people about the our history and attract foreign tourists to visit those museums.
✓ Yes, museums are really popular in my hometown since my country has a rich history and many historical monuments that are presented in museums so they can educate people about our history and attract foreign tourists to visit those museums.
The subject 'my country' is singular, so the verb should be 'has' not 'have'. 'Monuments' is plural, so 'is' should be 'are'. Also, 'it can educate' should be 'they can educate' to refer to the plural 'monuments'. The phrase 'the our history' is incorrect; 'our history' is correct without 'the'.
× Yes, I visited museums more in my childhood than now since it was part of our extracurricular activities in the school.
✓ Yes, I visited museums more in my childhood than now since it was part of our extracurricular activities at school.
The phrase 'in the school' is incorrect; the correct preposition is 'at school' when referring to activities. The rest of the sentence is correct in past tense.
× And for me it was something new and it was new experience for me.
✓ And for me, it was something new and it was a new experience for me.
The phrase 'new experience' requires an article 'a' before it because 'experience' is a countable noun here. Also, a comma after 'for me' improves readability.
