Hometown— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Give a clear, grammatically correct topic sentence stating where your hometown is, then add one or two specific details. Avoid repetition and incorrect place names. Use linking words to connect ideas. Keep it natural and under five sentences.

Exemplo: I come from Yogyakarta, a city in Central Java. It is well known for its universities and cultural tourism, especially places like the Sultan's Palace and traditional batik markets. Also, Yogyakarta is on the island of Java, which is one of Indonesia's main islands.

Sugestão: Start with a clear topic sentence (one main idea), then give specific supporting details and reasons using linking words. Correct grammar (singular/plural, tenses) and place name spelling. Avoid long run-on sentences.

Exemplo: What I like most about my hometown is the food. For example, local dishes like gudeg taste very comforting and remind me of home whenever I travel abroad, so the cuisine makes Yogyakarta feel warm and familiar.

Sugestão: Use the correct tense and simple, direct phrasing to answer duration questions. Begin with a concise topic sentence stating how long, then add brief supporting detail about exceptions if needed, using linking words like 'although' or 'however'. Avoid awkward verb choices.

Exemplo: I have lived in Yogyakarta all my life — almost 22 years. However, I sometimes travel abroad for a few weeks or months, but I always return home afterward.

Sugestão: Give a clear opinion first, then support it with specific reasons and a linking word (e.g., 'because', 'for example'). Improve grammar (comparative forms, plural agreement) and be concise. Optionally suggest who it might suit instead for balance.

Exemplo: I don't think Yogyakarta is the best place for young people who want high-paying jobs because local salaries tend to be lower than in major cities; meanwhile, the cost of living can be relatively high. However, it may still suit students or young people seeking education and culture.

× My hometown is Yogyakarta is an urban area that located in Central Java known for its education and tourism Spot in Jugjakarta was located in biggest island in Indonesia it calls Jaffa Islands.

✓ My hometown is Yogyakarta, an urban area located in Central Java, known for its education and tourism. Yogyakarta is on Java, the biggest island in Indonesia.

This sentence has multiple sentence structure issues and punctuation errors (Grammar Problem Type ID 26). It contains run-on sentences and misplaced phrases. I corrected by splitting into two clear sentences, moving the modifier 'located in Central Java' next to 'Yogyakarta', and replacing incorrect place names ('Jugjakarta','Jaffa Islands') with 'Yogyakarta' and 'Java'. Suggestion: break long run-on sentences into simpler sentences; place modifiers next to the words they describe; use correct place names and appropriate commas.

× My favorite things about my hometown is my house because whenever I go abroad I always missing my hometown and the food in Jucyakarta is so comfortable and homey for me and it's just the best flavor for me.

✓ My favorite thing about my hometown is my house because whenever I go abroad I always miss my hometown, and the food in Yogyakarta is so comforting and homey to me; it has the best flavor for me.

This sentence shows incorrect adjective/adverb choices and verb form issues (Grammar Problem Type ID 13 and also 6/27). 'Things' should be singular 'thing' to match 'is' (subject-verb agreement), 'always missing' should be 'always miss' (present tense habit). 'Comfortable' is incorrectly used for food; 'comforting' is appropriate. I also corrected place spelling. Suggestion: ensure noun number matches the verb, use correct verb forms for habitual actions, and choose adjectives appropriate to the noun.

× I have been left in Yogyakarta since I was born, so it almost 22 years.

✓ I have lived in Yogyakarta since I was born, so it's almost 22 years.

The phrase 'have been left' is incorrect for expressing continuous residence; use present perfect 'have lived' for an action continuing to the present (Grammar Problem Type ID 6). Also 'it almost 22 years' needs 'it's' or 'it has been' and a clearer phrasing. Suggestion: use 'have lived' or 'have been living' with 'since' to indicate duration; use 'it's been almost 22 years' or 'it's almost 22 years'.

× I'm spending my whole life to live in here, but sometimes I'm just traveling to another country for a couple of weeks or couple months, but I always come back again.

✓ I've spent my whole life living here, but sometimes I travel to another country for a couple of weeks or a couple of months; I always come back.

Several preposition and verb form errors occur (Grammar Problem Type ID 11). 'Spending my whole life to live in here' is unnatural; use 'I've spent my whole life living here' or 'I have lived here my whole life'. Remove unnecessary 'in' after 'live' and use 'here' without 'in'. 'I'm just traveling' should be simple present 'I travel' or present perfect for habitual trips. Also 'couple months' needs 'a couple of months'. Suggestion: use 'live' + 'here' (no 'in'), use present perfect for life duration, and include articles with 'couple'.

× I don't think my hometown is a good place for young people because the salary in my hometown is really cheap comparing to another area in Indonesia, but the price of stuff in here were really expensive so it's not worth it for you.

✓ I don't think my hometown is a good place for young people because salaries in my hometown are relatively low compared to other areas in Indonesia, while the prices of goods here are quite high, so it's not worth it.

This sentence has incorrect quantifier/comparison and subject-verb agreement issues (Grammar Problem Type IDs 14 and 27). 'Salary' should be plural or 'salaries', and 'comparing to another area' should be 'compared to other areas'. 'Stuff' is informal; 'goods' or 'items' is better. 'Were really expensive' should be 'are quite high' to match present tense. Suggestion: use plural nouns for general statements, use 'compared to' for comparisons, and maintain consistent tense.
