× I was born in his city.
✓ I was born in this city.
The student used the wrong demonstrative pronoun 'his' which refers to a person, not a place. Use 'this' to refer to the city being discussed. Suggestion: use 'this' for nearby places or 'that' for more distant ones.
× We see the old capital of Vietnam.
✓ It is the old capital of Vietnam.
The sentence 'We see...' is unnatural and does not answer 'Where is your hometown?'. Use 'It is...' to state a fact about the hometown. Suggestion: use 'It is' or 'My hometown is' to describe location or identity.
× Is it the small city with a lot of trees and there is a river flow through the city, uh, where people often go and boat ride.
✓ It is a small city with lots of trees and a river that flows through it, where people often go boating.
Multiple article and structure errors: use 'a small city' (indefinite article for a non-specific city), 'lots of trees' or 'a lot of trees' (correct quantifier), 'a river' (indefinite article), 'that flows' (relative clause with correct verb), and 'go boating' (correct verb form). Suggestion: break long ideas into clearer clauses and use correct articles and verb forms.
× I love the fresh air of my hometown because it's known for the best green city of Vietnam.
✓ I love the fresh air of my hometown because it is known as one of the greenest cities in Vietnam.
'Known for the best green city' is ungrammatical. Use 'known as' + noun phrase and comparative/superlative forms correctly: 'one of the greenest cities' or 'the greenest city'. Suggestion: choose correct form (superlative or comparative) and use 'known as' to describe a reputation.
× Uh, every evening I usually, uh, go Hana with my friends, BR in the parks and umm, enjoy the pleasant.
✓ Every evening I usually go out with my friends to the parks and enjoy the pleasant evenings.
Original has unclear words ('Hana', 'BR') and fragments. Use 'go out with my friends to the parks' and a clear noun 'pleasant evenings'. Suggestion: remove filler words and unclear abbreviations; use full verbs and nouns.
× I was born there and I lived there until I was 25.
✓ I was born there and lived there until I was 25.
Repetition of subject and auxiliary 'I' is not necessary; both clauses are correctly in past tense but can be combined more naturally by omitting the second 'I'. Suggestion: combine clauses for natural speech.
× Then I moved to another city, to a store, new shop.
✓ Then I moved to another city to work in a new shop.
Original is fragmented and unclear. 'To a store, new shop' is not correct structure. Use 'to work in a new shop' to show purpose and location. Suggestion: express purpose with 'to' + verb or clarify the noun phrase.
× And I feel, I, I feel sad to live to uh, to leave my family and friends behind.
✓ And I felt sad to leave my family and friends behind.
Tense inconsistency and extra fillers. Use past tense 'felt' because leaving occurred in the past; remove repeated 'I' and unnecessary 'to live to'. Suggestion: keep tense consistent and remove fillers.
× No, I don't think he is a good place for young people because it doesn't have many good shelves for young adults.
✓ No, I don't think it is a good place for young people because it doesn't have many good opportunities for young adults.
Pronoun 'he' is incorrect for 'hometown' (neuter); use 'it'. 'Shelves' is the wrong word; likely intended 'jobs' or 'opportunities'. Suggestion: use 'it' for places and choose the correct noun for context.
× Is it more suitable for people who want acquired, relaxed life rather than those looking for career growth?
✓ It is more suitable for people who want a quiet, relaxed life rather than for those looking for career growth.
Sentence starts as a question but should be a statement answering the previous question. 'Acquired' is wrong; use 'a quiet, relaxed life'. Also add 'for' before the second phrase for parallel structure. Suggestion: use correct adjective 'quiet' and maintain parallelism in comparison.
