Is your home town a good place for young people?

Candidate

I think it's a not good play for some people. There are not many dark opportunities so young people opted more to bigger city. So entertainment options are limited which can make life boring for young people. Therefore the cost of living is high which can be challenging for young people and it's more suited for families and older people.

Tránh lỗi chính tả và thông tin không rõ ràng (ví dụ: ‘S Apano’, ‘party­ing president’, ‘Leon’). Nên dùng tối đa 3-4 câu, bắt đầu bằng câu chủ đề (Where it is) rồi thêm 1 cụ thể (famous for…).

What do you like about your home town?

Score: 62.0

Example: What I like most about my hometown is its peaceful atmosphere. It is surrounded by mountains and a river, so life moves much slower than in the city and I always feel relaxed when I visit. I also enjoy the local cuisine, especially seafood noodle soup and grilled fish.

How long have you lived there?

Score: 30.0

Suggestion: Sửa hoàn toàn nội dung để trả lời đúng câu hỏi (thời gian sống ở đó). Tránh những câu không liên quan và lỗi cấu trúc/thuật ngữ (ví dụ ‘little pizza’, ‘like back my hand’, ‘have a senior’). Trả lời trực tiếp với con số/khung thời gian, sau đó thêm 1–2 câu ngắn về kỷ niệm hoặc sự thay đổi cụ thể. Dùng thì đúng (present perfect simple) khi nói trải nghiệm kéo dài.

Example: I have lived there for eighteen years. I grew up in the town and have many childhood memories, such as playing by the river with my friends. Over the years the area has developed a bit, with new shops and a small park built near my house.

Is your home town a good place for young people?

Score: 42.0

Suggestion: Chú trọng rõ ràng ý chính (yes/no + lý do). Sửa lỗi từ vựng và ngữ pháp (ví dụ ‘not a good place’, ‘job opportunities’ not ‘dark opportunities’); dùng linking words để liên kết lý do (Firstly, Secondly, Finally). Nên nêu 2–3 lý do cụ thể và một kết luận ngắn. Tránh mâu thuẫn (ví dụ ‘limited entertainment’ vs ‘cost of living is high’ — làm rõ cơ sở).

Example: I don't think it's an ideal place for many young people. Firstly, there are few job opportunities locally, so many young people move to bigger cities for work. Secondly, entertainment and social activities are limited, which can feel boring. Overall, it's more suitable for families and older residents.

Grammar

Incorrect use of prepositions

× My hometown is Niant Province which is located in central Vietnam and is a 300 kilometers S Apano.

✓ My hometown is Niant Province, which is located in central Vietnam and is 300 kilometers south of Apano.

Use correct preposition and format for distance: '300 kilometers south of Apano' not 'a 300 kilometers S Apano'. Also add comma before which for nonrestrictive clause.

Sentence structure errors

× It's well known for being the best place a partying president.

✓ It's well known for being the best place to host parties and for its presidential festival.

Original sentence is ungrammatical and unclear. Use infinitive 'to host' or rephrase to express intended meaning; 'a partying president' is incorrect noun phrase.

Incorrect use of articles

× Besides its historical significance, Leon is a famous for a beautiful beaches, delicious food and friendly people.

✓ Besides its historical significance, Leon is famous for its beautiful beaches, delicious food, and friendly people.

Remove extra article 'a' before 'famous', use possessive 'its' before 'beautiful beaches', and include commas in a list.

Incorrect use of pronouns

× What's I like most about my hometown is a beautiful atmosphere.

✓ What I like most about my hometown is its beautiful atmosphere.

Use 'What' not 'What's', and use possessive 'its' before 'beautiful atmosphere'. Remove unnecessary article 'a'.

Incorrect use of prepositions

× It's surrounded by mountain and river, so life there is a slower than in the city, so I always feel relaxed when I go back.

✓ It's surrounded by mountains and rivers, so life there is slower than in the city; I always feel relaxed when I go back.

Use plural 'mountains and rivers' and no article 'a' before 'slower'. Use semicolon or separate sentence to avoid run-on.

Incorrect use of articles

× I also like local food.

✓ I also like the local food.

Use definite article 'the' when referring to the local cuisine of a specific place.

Incorrect use of quantifiers

× I have a little pizza for 18 years.

✓ I have lived there for 18 years.

Original sentence is nonsensical: 'a little pizza' wrong. Use present perfect 'have lived' with duration 'for 18 years'.

Past tense issue

× I grew up in this area and have many childhood memories associated with it.

✓ I grew up in this area and have many childhood memories associated with it.

Sentence is correct; 'grew up' (past) and 'have' (present) are appropriate to express past action and continuing memories.

Incorrect use of pronouns

× I know the neighborhoods like back my hand and have a lot of friends here overseas.

✓ I know the neighborhoods like the back of my hand and have a lot of friends here and overseas.

Use idiom 'the back of my hand' and clarify 'here and overseas' to indicate both local and distant friends.

Sentence structure errors

× I have a senior.

✓ I am a senior.

Likely intended to say 'I am a senior' to indicate education level; 'I have a senior' is incorrect.

Incorrect verb form

× The areas develop and change.

✓ The area has developed and changed.

Use present perfect 'has developed and changed' to indicate change over time up to present; also 'area' singular fits context.

Incorrect use of possessive/plural

× My families have a deep roots in this community.

✓ My family has deep roots in this community.

Use singular 'family' as a collective noun and correct word order 'has deep roots' (no article 'a' before plural 'roots').

Incorrect use of articles

× I think it's a not good play for some people.

✓ I think it's not a good place for some people.

Correct word is 'place' not 'play', and word order for negation is 'not a good place'.

Incorrect use of quantifiers

× There are not many dark opportunities so young people opted more to bigger city.

✓ There are not many job opportunities, so young people opt to move to bigger cities.

'dark' incorrect; use 'job opportunities'. Use present simple 'opt' (habitual), 'opt to move to', and plural 'bigger cities'.

Sentence structure errors

× So entertainment options are limited which can make life boring for young people.

✓ Entertainment options are limited, which can make life boring for young people.

Remove sentence-initial 'So' to avoid informal linking and add comma before 'which'.

Incorrect use of conjunctions

× Therefore the cost of living is high which can be challenging for young people and it's more suited for families and older people.

✓ Therefore, the cost of living is high, which can be challenging for young people, and the town is more suited to families and older people.

Add commas after introductory 'Therefore', use 'suited to' not 'suited for', and split clauses for clarity.
