× What I most like about my hometown is beef up my neighborhood because, uh, uh, people always get to know each other.

✓ What I like most about my hometown is the strong sense of community because people always get to know each other.

The phrase 'beef up my neighborhood' is an incorrect use of conjunction and expression here. The sentence structure is awkward and unclear. Replacing it with 'the strong sense of community' clarifies the meaning and corrects the conjunction usage.

× I so well and always willing to help, uh, one to one-on-one, uh, especially it creates the close night community.

✓ I know people well and am always willing to help one another, which especially creates a close-knit community.

The original sentence misuses pronouns and has unclear phrasing. 'I so well' is incorrect; it should be 'I know people well'. 'One to one-on-one' is unclear and replaced with 'one another'. Also, 'close night community' is a mispronunciation of 'close-knit community'.

× So this is what I love the most in my.

✓ So this is what I love the most about my hometown.

The sentence is incomplete and lacks an object after 'in my'. Adding 'about my hometown' completes the sentence and corrects the structure.

× I lived in my hometown most the most of my time but in current but in past four years I have been moved to the Chennai for my higher education purpose.

✓ I have lived in my hometown for most of my life, but in the past four years, I have moved to Chennai for higher education.

The original sentence has tense inconsistencies and awkward phrasing. 'I lived' should be 'I have lived' to indicate an action continuing to the present. 'Most the most of my time' is incorrect; 'for most of my life' is better. 'I have been moved' is passive and incorrect here; 'I have moved' is active and correct. 'The Chennai' is incorrect; 'Chennai' does not need an article.

× Yes, it is a good place for young people because it creates the safe environment and a light back lifestyle.

✓ Yes, it is a good place for young people because it provides a safe environment and a laid-back lifestyle.

'Creates the safe environment' is incorrect; 'provides a safe environment' is better. 'Light back lifestyle' is a mispronunciation of 'laid-back lifestyle'. The quantifier 'a' is correctly used before 'safe environment' and 'laid-back lifestyle'.

× But it is not suitable for the people who wants to, who wants the career growth in our technology because there are less job open.

✓ But it is not suitable for people who want career growth in technology because there are fewer job openings.

'People who wants' is incorrect; 'people' is plural so the verb should be 'want'. 'Our technology' is unclear and better as 'technology'. 'Less job open' is incorrect; 'fewer job openings' is the correct plural form and quantifier.
