× My hometown is Staining Prufines which is in the South of Vietnam and is located about 3 hours from Ho Chi Minh City by Rd.
✓ My hometown is Staining Prufines, which is in the south of Vietnam and is located about three hours from Ho Chi Minh City by road.
Use lowercase for directional adjectives when part of general location ('south of Vietnam'). 'By Rd.' is incorrect abbreviation; use 'by road'. Add a comma before the nonrestrictive clause 'which is...'. Spell out numbers under ten in formal speech/text.
× It's not as crowded or fast-paced at the sea but a big city so I would say it's has much more peaceful atmosphere and it's also known for its local food, religious side and slower pace of life which must is a comfortable place to grow in.
✓ It's not as crowded or fast-paced as a big city, so I would say it has a much more peaceful atmosphere; it's also known for its local food, religious character, and slower pace of life, which makes it a comfortable place to grow up in.
Compare things using 'as...as' (not 'at the sea but a big city'). Remove extra 'it's' and correct 'it's has' to 'it has'. Use 'much more peaceful atmosphere' with article 'a'. 'Religious side' is awkward; use 'religious character'. 'Which must is' is ungrammatical; use 'which makes it'. 'Grow in' should be 'grow up in'.
× Well, what I like most about my hometown is probably the sense of peace and familiar familiar familiarity.
✓ Well, what I like most about my hometown is probably the sense of peace and familiarity.
Duplicate word 'familiar familiar' is an error; use the noun 'familiarity'. Keep parallel structure: 'sense of peace and familiarity.'
× Uh, compared to Jimmy, City, like in Tainan, is much quieter and less stressful.
✓ Compared to a big city like Tainan, it is much quieter and less stressful.
Original word order and punctuation are confusing. Use 'compared to a big city like Tainan' and 'it is' to refer to the hometown. Remove unclear names ('Jimmy, City').
× There are fewer people, less traffic congestion, and the cost of living is also lower, so daily life feels more manageable.
✓ There are fewer people, less traffic congestion, and the cost of living is also lower, so daily life feels more manageable.
Sentence is correct; 'fewer' correctly used for countable 'people' and 'less' for uncountable 'traffic congestion'. No change needed.
× I lived in my hometown for around 18 years.
✓ I lived in my hometown for around 18 years.
Sentence is grammatically acceptable if referring to a completed period. If the speaker wants to emphasize continuous living until recently, 'I have lived' could be used. No strict error present.
× Since I was born and grew up there is a place I feel very attached to.
✓ Since I was born and grew up there, it is a place I feel very attached to.
Missing subject 'it' for the clause 'is a place...'. Add comma after the introductory clause and include 'it' to form a complete sentence.
× Even though I moved away quite a long time ago, it still feels like harm to me and I'm always have a sense of belonging whenever I go back.
✓ Even though I moved away quite a long time ago, it still feels like home to me and I always have a sense of belonging whenever I go back.
'Harm' is a wrong word; should be 'home'. 'I'm always have' is ungrammatical; use 'I always have'. Ensure correct subject-verb form and word choice.
× I would say yes, but it depends on young people are looking for they want to peaceful environment and to be surrounded by family.
✓ I would say yes, but it depends on what young people are looking for: if they want a peaceful environment and to be surrounded by family,
Original misses 'what' and has redundant/incorrect pronouns 'they want to'. Rephrase to 'depends on what young people are looking for' and use a conditional clause for clarity.
× Then my hometown is a lovely place to live.
✓ Then my hometown is a lovely place to live.
Sentence is acceptable, though starting with 'Then' is conversational. No grammatical correction required.
× But however in terms of career opportunities, entertainment, uh and education trend, it may not offer as quite a range of option as a large city language.
✓ However, in terms of career opportunities, entertainment, and education, it may not offer as wide a range of options as a large city.
Do not use both 'but' and 'however' together; choose one. Remove filler 'uh' and incorrect 'education trend' — use 'education'. Use comparative 'as wide a range of options as'. 'Language' is misplaced and removed.
