Is your home town a good place for young people?

Actually, I didn't think so because it's kinda remoted location and to find something particular you need to go into Moscow in in Moscow and there are not there much establishments to spend time. So I don't think it's a good place.
Where is your hometown?
Puntuación: 62.0Sugerencia: Be more concise and structured. Start with a clear topic sentence naming the place, then give 1–2 specific supporting details (location and a reason you like it). Avoid fillers (umm, uh) and repetition. Use linking words (for example, and) to connect ideas naturally.
Ejemplo: I'm from a small village near Moscow in Russia. I enjoy going back because it's surrounded by forests and lakes, which help me relax, and it's also close to the city, so I can easily access shops and services when needed.
What do you like about your home town?
Puntuación: 60.0Sugerencia: Give a clear main point then specific reasons. Avoid vague phrases like "everything" and reduce hesitations. Use linking words (firstly, also) and provide concrete examples of memory or what people are like.
Ejemplo: I especially like the natural surroundings and the friendly community. For example, I often walked in the nearby pine forest as a child, which created lasting memories, and my neighbors always helped each other during local festivals.
How long have you lived there?
Puntuación: 55.0Sugerencia: Provide a precise, coherent answer. Start with the straightforward time frame (e.g., I lived there for X years or I lived there until I was X), then clarify current situation. Remove joking or unclear idioms and fillers.
Ejemplo: I lived in that village for about 18 years until my family moved to Moscow a few years ago, so I spent most of my childhood and teenage years there.
Is your home town a good place for young people?
Puntuación: 58.0Sugerencia: Answer directly with a reasoned opinion and specific examples. Use linking words (because, however) and avoid repetition. Mention particular amenities that are lacking or alternatives young people use.
Ejemplo: No, I don't think it's ideal for young people because it's quite remote and lacks entertainment and job opportunities. For example, there are few cafés, cinemas, or leisure centers, so young people usually travel to Moscow for university and social life.
× I was born near Moscow in the village, umm, I think it's a great place to visit, uh, visit.
✓ I was born near Moscow in a village; I think it's a great place to visit.
Use of the definite article and preposition: 'in the village' implies a specific village already known, but here 'a village' is correct. Also the sentence was run-on; replace comma with semicolon or split into two sentences to improve clarity.
× I really love returning there to reconnect with nature and everything else.
✓ I really love returning there to reconnect with nature and everything else.
No correction needed; sentence is grammatically acceptable. Included here only to indicate no change required.
× And it is great because it's near the huge city and you can find anything basically in the nearby, uh, so OK.
✓ It's great because it's near a big city, and you can find almost anything nearby.
Use 'a big city' instead of 'the huge city' unless a specific city has been established; 'huge' is informal here so 'big' is clearer. 'in the nearby' is incorrect prepositional phrase; use 'nearby' as an adverb. 'anything basically' better as 'almost anything' for natural English.
× Uh, I love everything about it basically because I was born there and lived, uh, my childhood there.
✓ I love everything about it basically because I was born there and spent my childhood there.
Verb choice: 'lived my childhood' is unidiomatic. Use 'spent my childhood' or 'lived there during my childhood.' This fixes verb usage and improves naturalness.
× Umm, well, the first thing off is in nature and memories that this town brings me back, so, umm, and the people of course, because they're really nice there.
✓ Well, the first things are the nature and the memories that this town brings back, and, of course, the people, because they're really nice.
Several structural issues: 'first thing off' is incorrect phrase; use 'first things' or 'first of all.' 'Nature and memories that this town brings me back' is ungrammatical—'brings back' should apply to 'memories' or 'the town brings back memories'; reorder to 'the nature and the memories that this town brings back.' Also tidy conjunction use and commas.
× While I'm still living there and I've been living there since I was knee high to in Grasshopper.
✓ I used to live there; I lived there until I was about 18.
Original sentence mixes tenses and contains an unclear idiom 'knee high to in Grasshopper.' It's better to give a clear age or time frame. Use past tense 'used to live' or 'I lived there until...' because the student indicates they moved out.
× Umm, well, it's almost 18 years I'd say.
✓ It was almost 18 years, I'd say.
Tense mismatch: when referring to how long they lived there in the past, use past tense 'was' rather than 'it's.' Keep 'I'd say' for hedging.
× But now, uh, me and my family moved out and we live in Moscow, which is that they're far away, but still different location.
✓ But now my family and I have moved to Moscow, which is far away and a different location.
Pronoun order: 'my family and I' is correct subject order. Use present perfect 'have moved' if recent change continues. Remove 'which is that they're'—unclear and ungrammatical; simplify to 'which is far away and a different location.'
× Actually, I didn't think so because it's kinda remoted location and to find something particular you need to go into Moscow in in Moscow and there are not there much establishments to spend time.
✓ Actually, I don't think so because it's kind of a remote location, and to find something specific you need to go to Moscow, and there are not many places to spend time there.
Multiple issues: tense (use present 'I don't think so' to answer general question), 'remoted' is incorrect adjective; use 'remote.' Missing article: 'a remote location.' 'to find something particular' -> 'to find something specific.' Preposition repetition 'in in Moscow' and wrong preposition; use 'go to Moscow.' 'there are not there much establishments' incorrect quantifier and word order; use 'there are not many places' or 'there are few establishments.'
× So I don't think it's a good place.
✓ So I don't think it's a good place for young people.
Original sentence is short but fine; add 'for young people' to answer the question fully and maintain relevance. No major grammatical error, only completeness.
