I currently graduated from secondary school and I'm planning to join the university in the coming year.

Where do you study?
Candidato
I study in a secondary school named the Good Hope School, which is in Choi home of Hong Kong.
Examinador
Is it a good place to study?
Candidato
I believe it's a really good place because the view outside is really beautiful, which provides a good atmosphere for us to study and at the same time the school supports our all round development and provides a lot of opportunities to develop our extracurricular activities.
Examinador
Would you like the place where you study to make any changes?
Candidato
Ah definitely, because my school right now is on up on the mountain which makes transport a bit inconvenience and I hope that the school can be near the metro station so that it's easier for us.
Examinador
What are your future study plans?
Candidato
I plan to study for a law degree in the university, uh and train as a solicitor in the future because I believe that being a solicitor is a meaningful job which can help people in need and to contribute to the society.

× I currently graduated from secondary school and I'm planning to join the university in the coming year.
✓ I recently graduated from secondary school and I'm planning to join university in the coming year.
The verb 'graduated' indicates a past action; using 'currently' (which implies present) with a past tense is incorrect. 'Recently' correctly indicates a recent past event. Also 'join university' is more natural than 'join the university' in this context. Suggestion: use time adverbs that match the verb tense (e.g., 'recently graduated').
× I study in a secondary school named the Good Hope School, which is in Choi home of Hong Kong.
✓ I study at a secondary school called The Good Hope School, which is in Choi Hung in Hong Kong.
Use of preposition and place name is incorrect: 'in' vs 'at' and 'Choi home' is likely wrong. 'Study at' is correct collocation for institutions. Use 'called' for names and the place should be 'Choi Hung in Hong Kong'. Suggestion: use 'study at' for schools and check correct place names.
× I believe it's a really good place because the view outside is really beautiful, which provides a good atmosphere for us to study and at the same time the school supports our all round development and provides a lot of opportunities to develop our extracurricular activities.
✓ I believe it's a really good place because the view outside is beautiful, which provides a good atmosphere for studying; at the same time the school supports our all-round development and provides many opportunities to pursue extracurricular activities.
Redundant 'really' twice is stylistic but not grammar; main issues: 'for us to study' is wordy — use gerund 'for studying'. 'All round' should be hyphenated 'all-round'. 'A lot of opportunities to develop our extracurricular activities' is awkward: 'many opportunities to pursue extracurricular activities' is clearer. Suggestion: use concise phrasing and correct adjective forms and collocations.
× Ah definitely, because my school right now is on up on the mountain which makes transport a bit inconvenience and I hope that the school can be near the metro station so that it's easier for us.
✓ Ah definitely, because my school right now is up on the mountain, which makes transport a bit inconvenient, and I hope that the school could be closer to the metro station so that it's easier for us.
Errors: 'on up on the mountain' is redundant — use 'up on the mountain' or 'on the mountain'. 'Inconvenience' is a noun; the adjective 'inconvenient' is required. 'Can be near' is unnatural for a wish; use 'could be closer to' or 'would be nearer'. Suggestion: fix prepositions, use correct adjective forms, and choose appropriate modal for wishes.
× I plan to study for a law degree in the university, uh and train as a solicitor in the future because I believe that being a solicitor is a meaningful job which can help people in need and to contribute to the society.
✓ I plan to study for a law degree at university and train as a solicitor in the future because I believe that being a solicitor is a meaningful job that can help people in need and contribute to society.
Article and preposition issues: 'in the university' is better as 'at university' (no article) in British English. 'Which can help... and to contribute to the society' mixes structures and unnecessarily uses 'the' before 'society'. Use 'that can help people in need and contribute to society' — parallel structure and no article before 'society'. Suggestion: maintain parallel verb forms and omit unnecessary articles.
