× Well, I think museum extremely important because it is not only a place where visitors can explore the new tradition, but also a place where the government and their resident can keep the memory of a specific area of their nation.
✓ Well, I think museums are extremely important because they are not only places where visitors can explore new traditions, but also places where the government and their residents can preserve the memories of specific areas of their nation.
The sentence uses adjectives/adverbs and noun forms incorrectly: 'museum extremely important' lacks a determiner and plural agreement and needs the copula 'are' with the adverb 'extremely'. 'new tradition' should be plural 'new traditions' to match general meaning. 'their resident' should be plural 'their residents'. Also 'keep the memory of a specific area' is unnatural; use 'preserve the memories of specific areas'. Suggestion: ensure correct plural forms and use the verb 'are' before adjective/adverb phrases, and choose plural nouns for general statements.
× Actually, in my province, they are one museum which is located in Long Swing City. It's one of the biggest museums. In May come the Delta. In this place, people can explore the old tradition of the Macomb Delta resident.
✓ Actually, in my province, there is one museum which is located in Long Swing City. It's one of the biggest museums in the delta. In this place, people can explore the old traditions of the Macomb Delta residents.
Multiple plural/singular issues: 'they are one museum' is incorrect; use 'there is one museum'. 'In May come the Delta' is unclear and likely meant 'in the delta' or 'in the Mekong Delta'; 'May' is wrong. 'old tradition' should be plural 'old traditions' and 'resident' should be plural 'residents'. Suggestion: use 'there is' for existence of a singular noun, use correct place name/article ('the delta' or proper name), and make nouns plural when speaking generally about a group.
× Well, when it come to another place, I often try to pay a visit to the Museum of this place because from this I can learn more about the traditional culture which is help me to broaden my horizon.
✓ Well, when it comes to another place, I often try to visit the museum there because from it I can learn more about the traditional culture which helps me broaden my horizons.
'when it come' should be 'when it comes' to agree with third person singular ('it' + verb). 'pay a visit to the Museum of this place' is wordy; 'visit the museum there' is natural. 'from this I can learn' -> 'from it I can learn'. 'which is help me' is wrong; use 'which helps me' or better 'which helps me broaden my horizons.' Use present simple 'comes' and 'helps' to match habitual action. Suggestion: ensure third-person 's' in present tense and use concise phrases.
× Whilst I still remember that last time I visited museums when I was in Grade 6, it's been 10 years ago and that's where a really interesting experience.
✓ I still remember that the last time I visited a museum was when I was in Grade 6; it was 10 years ago and it was a really interesting experience.
Tense and structure problems: 'Whilst I still remember that last time I visited museums when I was in Grade 6' is awkward and plural 'museums' conflicts with 'last time'. Use past simple 'was' to locate the visit in the past: 'the last time I visited a museum was when I was in Grade 6.' 'it's been 10 years ago' is incorrect combination of present perfect and 'ago' — use 'it was 10 years ago.' 'that's where a really interesting experience' lacks verb; use 'it was a really interesting experience.' Suggestion: use past simple to describe past events, avoid mixing present perfect with 'ago', and ensure each clause has a verb.
× I I I can explore the traditional culture of the old Ho Chi Minh cities, which is very different from it now.
✓ I was able to explore the traditional culture of the old Ho Chi Minh City, which is very different from how it is now.
Sentence has repetition 'I I I' and structural issues: 'the old Ho Chi Minh cities' should be 'Ho Chi Minh City' (singular) and 'which is very different from it now' is unclear; better: 'different from how it is now.' If referring to past ability, use 'I was able to' or 'I could'. Suggestion: remove repetitions, use correct place name and clear comparative phrase 'different from how it is now.'
