× a lot of tourists would come into the gamut to enjoy our well known durian.
✓ a lot of tourists would come into the area to enjoy our well-known durians.
The phrase 'come into the gamut' is incorrect; 'gamut' means a range or scope, not a place. It should be replaced with 'area' or a similar noun. Also, 'durian' should be pluralised to 'durians' when referring to the fruit in general. 'Well known' should be hyphenated as 'well-known' when used as an adjective before a noun.
× They always lend a hand whenever you need helps.
✓ They always lend a hand whenever you need help.
The noun 'help' is uncountable and should not be pluralised as 'helps'. Using 'help' without 's' is correct in this context.
× Also, I love the food in the YEAH.
✓ Also, I love the food in the area.
The phrase 'in the YEAH' is unclear and likely a typographical error. It should be replaced with a meaningful phrase such as 'in the area' to make the sentence grammatically and contextually correct.
× I have lived there for almost 20 years, but I moved out from my hometown to study in Sydney since 2022.
✓ I lived there for almost 20 years, but I moved out from my hometown to study in Sydney in 2022.
The present perfect tense 'have lived' is not appropriate with the specific past time 'since 2022'. The simple past 'lived' fits better. Also, 'since 2022' should be 'in 2022' because the action happened at a specific time in the past.
× Personally I would say no this because as someone who likes to travel, I find it very inconvenient as it is quite far from the nearest International Airport.
✓ Personally, I would say no to this because, as someone who likes to travel, I find it very inconvenient as it is quite far from the nearest international airport.
The phrase 'no this' is incorrect; it should be 'no to this'. Commas are needed after introductory words and clauses for clarity. 'International Airport' should not be capitalised unless part of a proper noun.
