× I do also like the people because they are very warm and welcoming.
✓ I also like the people because they are very warm and welcoming.
The phrase 'do also like' is awkward and incorrect here. The adverb 'also' should be placed before the main verb without 'do' for correct emphasis. The correct form is 'I also like'.
× I had so many friends there which I no longer, umm, in touch with, but yeah, I, I do miss most of them.
✓ I had so many friends there whom I am no longer, umm, in touch with, but yeah, I do miss most of them.
The relative pronoun 'which' is incorrect when referring to people; 'whom' should be used. Also, the verb phrase 'I no longer, umm, in touch with' is incomplete; it should be 'I am no longer in touch with' to be grammatically correct.
× If they're looking for job, job opportunities, yeah.
✓ If they're looking for jobs, job opportunities, yeah.
The noun 'job' should be pluralized to 'jobs' when referring to opportunities in general. Using the plural form correctly matches the context of multiple opportunities.
