× I come from Pokhara, Nepal, a famous city of our country which is well known for its natural beauty and scenic view.
✓ I come from Pokhara, Nepal, a famous city in our country which is well known for its natural beauty and scenic views.
Use 'in' rather than 'of' for location within a country. Use plural 'scenic views' to match general reference to multiple views.
× It is also known as the city of Seven Lake.
✓ It is also known as the city of Seven Lakes.
Use plural 'Lakes' because the proper name refers to a group of seven lakes. If treating as a proper name, use the standard plural form.
× Although it is a city with bustling uh environment, one can find nature even it it's umm cues.
✓ Although it is a bustling city, one can still find nature even in its queues.
Original sentence has word order and word choice errors. 'A city with bustling environment' should be 'a bustling city'. 'Even it it's umm cues' is ungrammatical; likely intended 'even in its queues' or 'even nearby'. Ensure clear words and correct preposition 'in'.
× The best feature of my hometown is its natural beauty and breathtaking environment.
✓ The best features of my hometown are its natural beauty and breathtaking environment.
Subject 'features' should be plural when listing two items; therefore use plural verb 'are'. Alternatively keep singular 'feature' and list one item. This addresses subject-verb agreement and article usage.
× I think that even if it's a city, one can find nature and reconnect with it.
✓ I think that even though it's a city, one can find nature and reconnect with it.
Use 'even though' rather than 'even if' to state a factual contrast. The rest is grammatically correct.
× It is a peaceful, uh, place where uh, all age group of people can live happily and comfortably.
✓ It is a peaceful place where people of all age groups can live happily and comfortably.
Use 'people of all age groups' or 'all age groups of people' with plural 'groups' and correct word order; remove filler 'uh' for clarity.
× My whole family is the local residents of Pokhara and I have lived there since my birth.
✓ My whole family are local residents of Pokhara and I have lived there since I was born.
'Family' can be plural as 'are local residents' in British English; 'the local residents' is redundant. Use 'since I was born' as a natural expression rather than 'since my birth'.
× It's been 18 years since I have lived in Pokhara and I find my hometown the best place to live in and recently I am in Kathmandu for a month and I miss my hometown.
✓ I have lived in Pokhara for 18 years and I find my hometown the best place to live. Recently I have been in Kathmandu for a month, and I miss my hometown.
Use 'have lived for 18 years' rather than 'It's been 18 years since I have lived' which is awkward. Use present perfect continuous 'have been in Kathmandu' or present perfect 'have been' for recent time period. Break into two sentences and remove redundant ending preposition.
× Yes, I believe that my hometown is a perfect place for young people because it is one of the famous destination of our country and there are lots of opportunities where young people can build their career in business.
✓ Yes, I believe that my hometown is a perfect place for young people because it is one of the famous destinations of our country and there are many opportunities where young people can build their careers in business.
Use plural 'destinations' and 'many' instead of informal 'lots'. 'Careers' should be plural to match 'young people' plural subject.
× There are lots of hotels and restaurants which umm flourish because of Favour Lake and one can use its advantages.
✓ There are many hotels and restaurants that flourish because of Fewa Lake, and people can benefit from it.
Use 'that' instead of 'which' in restrictive clause; 'Fewa Lake' is correct name (not 'Favour'). Use 'people can benefit from it' instead of awkward 'use its advantages'. Replace 'lots of' with 'many' for formal tone.
