提案: 回答は比較的自然で内容も具体的ですが、「Mount Fuji」は秋田県にはありませんので、正確な情報を伝えることが大切です。また、接続詞を使って文の流れをより滑らかにすると良いでしょう。

提案: 文法の誤りが多く、意味が伝わりにくいです。特に時制の一致や文の完結性に注意しましょう。また、冗長な表現を避け、簡潔に答えることが求められます。

例: I have lived in my hometown for about 17 years. After graduating from high school, I moved to Tokyo for a while, but before that, I always lived in Akita.

例: Honestly, I wouldn't say so because my hometown is quite a rural area. Although there are many outdoor activities, I think it can be boring for young people.

× My hometown is Akita prefecture which is northern part in Japan.

✓ My hometown is Akita prefecture, which is in the northern part of Japan.

The prepositions 'in' and 'of' are necessary to correctly describe location and possession. 'In the northern part of Japan' correctly indicates the location of Akita prefecture.

× It's known for rich culture and there's just rice.

✓ It's known for its rich culture and rice production.

The phrase 'just rice' is unclear and awkward. Using 'rice production' clarifies the meaning. Also, 'its' is needed to show possession of 'rich culture'.

× Also there is a Big Lake which is deepest lake in Japan.

✓ Also, there is a big lake which is the deepest lake in Japan.

The definite article 'the' is required before 'deepest lake' because it is a superlative. Also, 'big' should not be capitalized unless it is a proper noun.

× Well, I lived in my hometown for around 17 years after I graduate high school.

✓ Well, I lived in my hometown for around 17 years after I graduated high school.

The verb 'graduate' should be in the past tense 'graduated' to match the past time frame indicated by 'lived' and 'after'.

× I I used to go to Tokyo, but before that time I always lived in.

✓ I used to go to Tokyo, but before that time, I had always lived there.

The sentence is incomplete and has repetition. 'I I' should be 'I'. Also, 'lived in' needs an object; 'there' clarifies the location. The past perfect 'had always lived' is appropriate to show the action before another past action.

× Honestly I wouldn't say that because my hometown is quite rural area so of course people can do a lot of outside activities, but for young people I think it's boring.

✓ Honestly, I wouldn't say that because my hometown is quite a rural area, so of course people can do a lot of outdoor activities, but for young people, I think it's boring.

The phrase 'rural area' needs the article 'a'. 'Outside activities' should be 'outdoor activities' to correctly describe activities done outside. Commas improve sentence clarity.
