× It's much smaller than major metropolitan areas, but it's environmentally friendly and has a peaceful atmosphere which are really enjoyable.
✓ It's much smaller than major metropolitan areas, but it's environmentally friendly and has a peaceful atmosphere which is really enjoyable.
The relative clause 'which are really enjoyable' incorrectly uses plural verb 'are' to refer to the singular noun 'atmosphere'. Change to 'which is' to match the singular noun. Suggestion: ensure relative pronoun clauses agree in number with their antecedents.
× What I like most about my city is its peaceful atmosphere, it's calming and people here are very welcoming and also it has most of the essential facilities which makes everyday life convenient.
✓ What I like most about my city is its peaceful atmosphere; it's calming, people here are very welcoming, and it also has most of the essential facilities which make everyday life convenient.
Multiple issues: run-on sentence and subject-verb agreement. 'Facilities' is plural, so the relative clause should use 'make' rather than 'makes'. Also improve sentence flow by using punctuation and placing 'also' before 'has' for natural word order. Suggestion: ensure verbs agree in number with their subjects and break long sentences into clearer clauses.
× I have lived in my city for about 15 years. Because of that I'm very familiar with most of the neighborhood here. Also, I feel very connected to the place, more than just a city it really.
✓ I have lived in my city for about 15 years, so I'm very familiar with most of the neighborhoods here. Also, I feel very connected to the place; it is more than just a city to me.
Structural and wording issues: 'Because of that' leading a short clause is awkward; 'so' connects better. 'Neighborhood' should be plural when referring to multiple areas. The final clause has inverted word order and missing words; rewrite as 'it is more than just a city to me'. Suggestion: use appropriate connectors, correct plurality, and complete clause structure.
× Yes, I believe it's a good place for young people, especially students, because there are several reputable educational institutes for pursuing a career.
✓ Yes, I believe it's a good place for young people, especially students, because there are several reputable educational institutes for pursuing careers.
The phrase 'pursuing a career' is acceptable, but when referring generally to many students, use the plural 'careers' to match plural subject 'students'. Suggestion: match noun number in prepositional phrases to the subject being referred to.
× However, it has limited job opportunities.
✓ However, it has limited job opportunities.
This sentence is grammatically fine; no quantifier error. Keeping it unchanged. Explanation: 'limited' correctly modifies plural 'job opportunities'. If improvement desired, could say 'relatively limited' for nuance.
