× The most appealing things about my hometown are the friendly community and the pleasant climate, which I really like it.
✓ The most appealing things about my hometown are the friendly community and the pleasant climate, which I really like.
The pronoun 'it' is redundant because 'which' already refers to 'the pleasant climate'. Using both 'which' and 'it' together is incorrect. To improve, remove 'it' after 'which I really like'. This makes the sentence grammatically correct and clearer.
× However, my hometown has a friendly communication atmosphere, the weather is polluted by petrochemical companies activity and it is not good for living, it's better for working and I think young people should live in bigger city with a good weather and many good opportunities.

The original sentence incorrectly uses 'However' and commas to connect independent clauses, causing a run-on sentence. 'However' should be replaced with 'Although' to show contrast properly. Also, possessive form 'companies'' is needed, and articles like 'a' before 'bigger city' are required. Using semicolons and commas correctly improves sentence structure and clarity.
