× My hometown is Busan which is in southeastern of South Korea and it is famous for beautiful beach like Hyundai or Kwangali and a lively atmosphere especially during summer season festival.
✓ My hometown is Busan, which is in the southeast of South Korea, and it is famous for its beautiful beaches like Haeundae and Gwangalli and for a lively atmosphere, especially during the summer festival season.
Preposition: 'in southeastern of' is incorrect; use 'in the southeast of'. Article and noun form: 'beautiful beach' needs plural 'beautiful beaches' and requires the possessive adjective 'its'. Proper nouns: 'Hyundai' and 'Kwangali' are misspellings of 'Haeundae' and 'Gwangalli'. Word order and articles: add commas and 'for' before 'a lively atmosphere' to parallel 'famous for'. Also 'during summer season festival' is awkward; correct to 'during the summer festival season'. Suggestions: use 'in the southeast of', include articles ('the'), make nouns plural when appropriate, and maintain parallel structure when listing what a place is famous for.
× I love the ocean view and the vibrant summer vibe in my hometown because it makes me feel calm and boost my mood, and it also helped me recharge my energy and enjoy spending time outdoors with my friends.
✓ I love the ocean view and the vibrant summer vibe in my hometown because they make me feel calm and boost my mood, and they also help me recharge my energy and enjoy spending time outdoors with my friends.
Subject-verb agreement and tense consistency: 'the ocean view and the vibrant summer vibe' is a plural subject, so use 'they make' not 'it makes'. 'Boost' should match present tense 'boost' with plural subject. 'Helped' is past tense and should be present 'help' to match ongoing feeling. Suggestions: match verb number to compound subjects and keep tense consistent across related clauses.
× I've been living there for most of my life. I moved there when I was quite young, maybe five years old, so I basically grown up in that area. Because of that, I feel really attached to it.
✓ I've lived there for most of my life. I moved there when I was quite young, maybe when I was five years old, so I basically grew up in that area. Because of that, I feel really attached to it.
Tense and verb form: 'I've been living there' is acceptable but 'I've lived there' is more natural for 'most of my life'; however either is possible. Major error: 'so I basically grown up' uses past participle 'grown' without auxiliary; correct past simple is 'grew up'. Also add 'when' before 'five years old' for clarity. Suggestions: use correct past simple forms for completed past actions ('grew up') and include 'when' for age expressions.
× I'll say it depends. Busan has decent opportunities, but compared to Seoul there are definitely fewer job options. That's why many young people move to Seoul to find a better employment and higher salaries.
✓ I'll say it depends. Busan has decent opportunities, but compared to Seoul there are definitely fewer job options. That's why many young people move to Seoul to find better employment and higher salaries.
Article and noun usage: 'a better employment' is incorrect because 'employment' is uncountable and should not take 'a'. Use 'better employment' or 'a better job'. Suggestions: use uncountable nouns without 'a' or replace with a countable noun like 'a better job' when appropriate.
