Well, that's an interesting question because most young people move to more cities, bigger cities. Generally, I don't recommend it for young people.

What do you like about your home town?

示例: I like the peaceful natural environment of my hometown because of the surrounding greenery and many plants, which made it pleasant to walk outside. Also, the people there are friendly and close-knit, so neighbors often helped each other.
How long have you lived there?
分数: 55.0建议: Answer directly with correct tense and clearer phrasing. Use linking words to explain how the short stay affects your memories. Avoid redundant phrases like 'United States of America' unless necessary; 'California' suffices with context.

× My hometown is a rural rural part of Yoga Prefecture called Himeji.
✓ My hometown is a rural part of Hyogo Prefecture called Himeji.
The sentence repeats the adjective 'rural' unnecessarily (redundant adjective) and contains a likely spelling error 'Yoga' instead of 'Hyogo'. Use a single adjective 'rural' and correct proper noun spelling. Suggestion: write 'a rural part of Hyogo Prefecture called Himeji.'
× I was born there and lived there until five years old after that.
✓ I was born there and lived there until I was five years old.
The original mixes clause order and omits the subject for 'five years old'. Use past tense with clear subject: 'I lived there until I was five years old.' The phrase 'after that' is unnecessary and disrupts flow.
× Let me think well, first thing I like about my hometown is that the surrounding green, there are lots of plants and little, not much buildings.
✓ Let me think. The first thing I like about my hometown is the greenery around it: there are lots of plants and few buildings.
Multiple issues: 'well' is awkward here (adverb placement), 'first thing' needs an article 'the', 'the surrounding green' is incorrect adjective/noun usage—use 'the greenery around it', and 'little, not much buildings' is ungrammatical; use 'few buildings' for countable plural. Also split into two sentences for clarity.
× And the second thing I like about it is people.
✓ The second thing I like about it is the people.
Add the definite article 'the' before 'people' to refer to the specific group in the hometown. Beginning with 'And' is conversationally acceptable but can be omitted for formality.
× I lived there when until I was 5.
✓ I lived there until I was five.
The phrase 'when until' is incorrect; use 'until' alone. Also write out numbers in full in formal speech: 'five'. Keep past tense 'lived' consistent.
× After that I moved to the United States of America, California, so I don't have much memory in there.
✓ After that, I moved to California in the United States, so I don't have many memories of it.
Problems: word order and preposition use. Use a comma after introductory 'After that'. Say 'moved to California in the United States' or 'moved to California, USA.' Use 'many memories' (memories is countable) and 'of it' rather than 'in there.'
× Well, that's an interesting question because most young people move to more cities, bigger cities.
✓ Well, that's an interesting question because most young people move to larger cities.
Phrase 'more cities, bigger cities' is redundant and ungrammatical. Use comparative adjective 'larger cities' to express bigger urban areas. Avoid repeating 'cities.'
× Generally, I don't recommend it for young people.
✓ Generally, I wouldn't recommend it for young people.
'I don't recommend it' is understandable but 'I wouldn't recommend it' is more natural and polite when giving general advice. Modal 'would' softens the recommendation. Maintain present conditional appropriate to hypothetical advice.
