× Is a rural area in Hunan province, mostly countryside with rice fields and small villages which made my childhood quite peaceful.
✓ It is a rural area in Henan province, mostly countryside with rice fields and small villages, which made my childhood quite peaceful.
Missing subject and incorrect province name: the sentence begins with 'Is' without a subject 'It'. This is a 'There be' / subject omission type error. Also 'Zhengzhou city in central China' indicates Henan province, not Hunan; correct the province name if necessary. Add commas for clarity. Suggestion: always include an explicit subject ('It') and check proper nouns for accuracy. Note: kept tense consistent (simple past 'made' describing childhood).
× I like my home gun because a small town with a much slower pace of life.
✓ I like my hometown because it is a small town with a much slower pace of life.
The original has wrong word 'gun' instead of 'hometown' and omits the verb 'is'. This is an adjective/adverb and sentence structure error: a linking verb is required to connect subject and description. Use 'it is' and correct noun. Suggestion: include the verb 'is' after the subject when describing and watch for typos.
× And like big cities such as Beijing or Shanghai, it's quieter to analyze, crowded, so did activities like going to the market or commuting are more relaxed.
✓ Unlike big cities such as Beijing or Shanghai, it's quieter and less crowded, so activities like going to the market or commuting are more relaxed.
The sentence incorrectly uses 'And like' and has awkward ordering and incorrect verbs ('to analyze', 'did activities'). This is an incorrect conjunction and sentence structure issue. Use 'Unlike' to contrast, use adjective 'less crowded', and make the result clause clear with 'so'. Suggestion: choose the correct contrastive connector and maintain parallel structure in comparisons.
× Oh, I guess it was. I guess it would be 10 years, give or take. Yeah. Umm, since I have memories, I've been living there and with my parents and my grandparents, we had a really enjoy life.
✓ Oh, I guess it has been about 10 years, give or take. Since I can remember, I've been living there with my parents and grandparents; we have really enjoyed life.
Multiple tense and verb form errors: 'it was' and 'it would be' are wrong for a period continuing to present — use present perfect 'has been'. 'Since I have memories' is non-idiomatic; use 'Since I can remember'. 'we had a really enjoy life' mixes past 'had' with base verb 'enjoy'—use present perfect 'have enjoyed'. Suggestion: use present perfect for actions continuing to the present and maintain verb form consistency.
× I guess not, because you know, the traffic there is not so convenient and if you want to go to our, uh, town, you need to take a bath and transfer to, umm, transfer to minibus and.
✓ I guess not, because the transport there is not very convenient; if you want to go to our town, you need to take a bus and transfer to a minibus.
Errors include 'take a bath' (wrong verb) and missing articles before 'minibus'. This is incorrect use of prepositions/verbs and article errors. 'Take a bus' is correct for travel; 'transfer to a minibus' needs the article 'a'. Remove filler words and complete the final clause. Suggestion: use transport verbs ('take a bus') and include articles before singular countable nouns.
