× Have to record well my hometown is Hatting Province which is in central Vietnam.
✓ I have to record this: my hometown is Hatting Province, which is in central Vietnam.
The original sentence lacks a clear subject and proper word order. 'Have to record well' is ungrammatical; likely intended meaning is 'I have to record this' or 'Let me record this'. Place the subject 'I' before the verb and add punctuation to separate the clause 'which is in central Vietnam.' Use a comma before the non-defining relative clause 'which is in central Vietnam.'
× I was born there and I lived in the UK for for years so I hope to return to Vietnam as soon as possible.
✓ I was born there and I lived in the UK for four years, so I hope to return to Vietnam as soon as possible.
The sentence repeats 'for' and uses 'for for years' instead of specifying a duration. Use a numeric or word form for the duration ('four years'). Also add a comma before 'so' when it connects two independent clauses. The past tense 'lived' is correct for a finished period of residence.
× There are not many things I like most about my hometown, but the people are my favorite aspect.
✓ There are not many things I like about my hometown, but the people are my favorite aspect.
The phrase 'not many things I like most' mixes quantifiers and degree incorrectly. Use either 'not many things I like' or 'the things I like most.' Here the intended meaning is few liked aspects, so 'not many things I like' is correct.
× They are warm, considerate, and always ready to lend a hand.
✓ They are warm, considerate, and always ready to lend a hand.
This sentence is correct; no grammatical change is needed. It uses parallel adjectives and correct verb form. (Included for completeness.)
× For example, neighbors often help each other with shopping or look after each other when someone is is ill, which makes the community community feel safe and supportive.
✓ For example, neighbors often help each other with shopping or look after someone who is ill, which makes the community feel safe and supportive.
The original has a duplicated 'is' and duplicated 'community.' Also 'look after each other when someone is ill' is awkward; better: 'look after someone who is ill.' Remove duplicates and use 'who' to introduce the relative clause. The non-defining clause 'which makes the community feel safe and supportive' is correct after correction.
× I have lived in my hometown province for 17 years before I moved to UK.
✓ I lived in my hometown province for 17 years before I moved to the UK.
Using present perfect 'have lived' conflicts with the specific past time reference 'before I moved.' Use simple past 'lived' for a completed action in the past. Also include the definite article 'the' before 'UK.'
× I like it because my parents still lived in the area and I grew up with many friends and memories and I also have many close connection to the.
✓ I liked it because my parents still lived in the area, I grew up with many friends and memories, and I also had many close connections there.
Tense consistency: since the context refers to past residence, use past tense 'liked' and 'had.' 'Have many close connection' has number and article errors: use plural 'connections.' 'To the' is incomplete; use 'there' to refer back to the hometown. Also add commas to separate clauses.
× In recent years many investor have come to my hometown to be a factory and apartment complexes, which has created plenty of jobs and affordable housing for young people.
✓ In recent years many investors have come to my hometown to build factories and apartment complexes, which has created plenty of jobs and affordable housing for young people.
'Investor' should be plural 'investors' to match 'many.' The verb 'have' agrees with plural subject now. The phrase 'to be a factory and apartment complexes' is ungrammatical; likely intended 'to build factories and apartment complexes.' Ensure noun-verb agreement and parallel noun forms.
× As a result, they are better opportunities for work and study, so it's an attractive place to live for the younger generation.
✓ As a result, there are better opportunities for work and study, so it's an attractive place for the younger generation to live.
The original 'they are better opportunities' misplaces subject and pronoun. Use existential 'there are' to introduce 'better opportunities.' Also reposition 'to live' after 'generation' to improve natural word order.
