Where is your hometown?
점수: 78.0제안: 文の流れは良いですが、冗長な表現や語順を改善し、具体的な特徴(例:地域、名所、雰囲気)を一つ加えるとより効果的です。また、“dense population”は少し不自然なので“densely populated”に直しましょう。回答は短くまとめ(最大5文)つつ、接続語でつなぐとより自然です。

× It is a huge city with dense population, so there are many people on the street.
✓ It is a huge city with a dense population, so there are many people on the streets.
英語では可算名詞の単数形を表す際に冠詞が必要です。'population'は『人口』という概念で単数扱いになり、'a dense population'とするのが自然です。また、'on the street'は一般的に通り全体を指す場合'streets'の複数形を用いる方が自然です。改善のためには名詞の可算/不可算を意識し、必要な冠詞を付ける習慣をつけてください。
× The transportation system is efficient and well connected, so it is convenient to get around.
✓ The transportation system is efficient and well-connected, so it is convenient to get around.
'well connected'は形容詞句で複合語としてハイフンを使うと自然です(compound adjective)。文法的には大きな誤りではないものの、修飾語の一貫性と読みやすさのためにハイフンを入れると良いです。ハイフンの使い方を学び、複合形容詞では連結を検討してください。
× I have lived here for 20 years and I have never moved so I have many friends nearby and I've made great memories there so.
✓ I have lived here for 20 years and I have never moved, so I have many friends nearby and I have made great memories there.
文が長く接続詞'so'が二度使用されており、最後に余分な'so'が付いています。また、縮約形を一貫して使うか、完全形を使うかの選択が必要です。句読点で文を区切り、不要な語を削除すると明確になります。現在完了形の使用は質問の文脈に合っていますが、文の流れを整理する練習をしてください。
× Yes, it's great place for young people because there are many parks where they can play sports like basketball and soccer.
✓ Yes, it's a great place for young people because there are many parks where they can play sports like basketball and soccer.
可算名詞'space/place'の単数形を使う場合、冠詞'a'が必要です。冠詞の欠如は英語で頻繁に起こる誤りなので、名詞が可算か不可算か、単数か複数かを確認し、適切な冠詞を付ける習慣を身に付けてください。
× It also offers a vibrant nightlife so they can enjoy socializing and entertainment.
✓ It also offers a vibrant nightlife, so young people can enjoy socializing and entertainment.
代名詞'they'が直前の'young people'に戻るのは文脈上問題ないが、文全体の明確さを高めるために主語を明示する方が良いです。また、接続詞の前にコンマを入れることで文の読みやすさが向上します。主語の明示と適切な句読点の使用を意識してください。
