What I like most about my hometown is the friendly atmosphere. People are always willing to help each other, which makes the city feel warmer and welcoming. I also enjoy the local food and the peaceful parks where I can relax.

I've lived ever since I was born, so I've spent my whole life in my hometown. Over the years, I've seen many changes, but it's still the place where I feel the most comfortable and connected, you know?

考生
Yeah, I believe it is. Young people can get a good education and take part in different sports and cultural activities. Although there could be more entertainment venues, it's still a safe and pleasant place to grow up.
Where is your hometown?
分數: 78.0建議: Correct minor preposition and word choice errors, make the opening sentence more direct and concise, and avoid redundancy. Use one clear topic sentence and one or two specific supporting details with a linking word. Also correct factual phrasing (e.g., say "in Dijon" not "on Dijon" and use "a lovely city" rather than "a level city").
範例: I come from Dijon, a city in eastern Uzbekistan. It has a rich history and friendly people, so having grown up there has made it a very special place for me.
What do you like about your home town?
分數: 88.0建議: Good content and coherence; tighten phrasing and use one linking word to join details. Replace vague adjectives with more specific descriptions (e.g., name a typical dish or a park feature) to make answers more vivid and give a slightly wider vocabulary.
範例: I most enjoy the friendly atmosphere in my hometown. For example, neighbours often help each other during festivals, and I love the local plov and the quiet botanical park where I like to read.
How long have you lived there?
分數: 82.0建議: Remove filler phrase "you know?", be concise and use a linking word to add one specific example of a change you witnessed. Keep it within 1–3 sentences and focus on clear structure: direct answer + brief supporting detail.
範例: I've lived there since I was born, so my whole life. Over the years the city has modernised—for instance, new schools and a renovated market have opened—yet it still feels like home.
Is your home town a good place for young people?
分數: 86.0建議: Use a more formal 'Yes' instead of 'Yeah', and structure as a topic sentence followed by balanced supporting details with a linking word. Be specific about the kinds of education or activities available to show vocabulary range and concreteness.
範例: Yes, I think it is. Young people can attend well-regarded schools and join football clubs and cultural centres; however, there are fewer nightlife and shopping options compared with larger cities.
× My hometown is on Dijon, which is located in the east of Uzbekistan.
✓ My hometown is in Dijon, which is located in the east of Uzbekistan.
Use 'in' for cities and towns (correct preposition for location). 'On' is used for surfaces or islands, so 'in Dijon' is correct. Suggestion: Use 'in' with names of towns/cities: 'in Paris', 'in Tokyo'. Continue using 'in the east of Uzbekistan' for regional location.
× It's a level city with a rich history and welcoming people.
✓ It's a lovely city with a rich history and welcoming people.
The word 'level' is incorrect here (likely a word choice error rather than a strict grammar category). To match meaning and grammar, 'lovely' fits. 'A lovely city' uses the indefinite article correctly. Suggestion: Choose an adjective that matches the intended meaning; check spelling to avoid unintended words ('level' vs 'lovely').
× I have spent most of my life there, so it will be always a special place for me.
✓ I have spent most of my life there, so it will always be a special place for me.
Adverb placement: 'always' should come before the main verb 'be' (or after auxiliary 'will'); the original 'will be always' is awkward. Correct order is 'will always be'. Suggestion: Place adverbs like 'always' before the main verb or between auxiliary and main verb: 'will always be', 'have always lived'.
× People are always willing to help each other, which makes the city feel warmer and welcoming.
✓ People are always willing to help each other, which makes the city feel warmer and more welcoming.
Parallel adjective structure: 'warmer and welcoming' mixes comparative 'warmer' with base form 'welcoming'. Use 'more welcoming' to match 'warmer' or use two base adjectives: 'warm and welcoming'. Suggestion: Maintain parallel structure with comparative or base forms: 'warmer and more welcoming' or 'warm and welcoming'.
× I've lived ever since I was born, so I've spent my whole life in my hometown.
✓ I've lived here ever since I was born, so I've spent my whole life in my hometown.
The phrase 'lived ever since I was born' is missing a location adverb; adding 'here' clarifies that the living refers to the hometown. This is a word order/usage improvement rather than a strict tense error. Suggestion: Add 'here' to indicate location when the context is the hometown: 'I've lived here ever since I was born.'
× Although there could be more entertainment venues, it's still a safe and pleasant place to grow up.
✓ Although there could be more entertainment venues, it's still a safe and pleasant place to grow up.
Sentence is grammatically acceptable. 'Could be' correctly expresses possibility or a suggestion for improvement. No correction needed; included here to confirm it's correct.
