Where is your hometown?
考生
My hometown is actually in the north of the Kazakhstan. These hometown called Pavlodar City. However, I wouldn't call it a city. I would call it as a town because of not so tall buildings.
考官
What do you like about your home town?
考生
The town that I like is known for its nature because as far as I'm concerned, many archaeologists found an entire history of dinosaurs or animals which are not exist anymore. I remember visiting museums in Pavlodar and learned so many interesting features, added cases of history.
考官
How long have you lived there?
考生
Actually, I've been living here for 12 years, but I'm currently 18. So I used to live in the village college Reisinger and when I was nearly 7, due to my father's job, we decided to move here in this town. I graduated from the secondary school and got into the pedagogical college.

Is your home town a good place for young people?
考生
Well, I don't think so. First of all, the shopping centers has so tiny variations of clothing, but people at that time find it appealing as a place to hang out and secondly, the main streets are not so crowded. Thirdly, the stone wasn't exactly popular.

× My hometown is actually in the north of the Kazakhstan.
✓ My hometown is actually in the north of Kazakhstan.
Use of the definite article 'the' before country names that already include a proper noun (Kazakhstan) is incorrect. Remove 'the' when referring to most countries: 'in the north of Kazakhstan'. Suggestion: Say 'in northern Kazakhstan' for a more natural phrasing.
× These hometown called Pavlodar City.
✓ This hometown is called Pavlodar City.
Subject and verb are missing or mismatched. 'These' is plural while 'hometown' is singular; 'called' needs an auxiliary verb 'is'. Use 'This' for singular demonstrative and add 'is'. Suggestion: Use 'My hometown is called Pavlodar City.' for clarity.
× However, I wouldn't call it a city.
✓ However, I wouldn't call it a city.
Sentence is grammatically correct; no change needed. (Included for completeness — matches definite article usage pattern.)
× I would call it as a town because of not so tall buildings.
✓ I would call it a town because the buildings are not very tall.
Do not use 'call ... as'; the correct pattern is 'call it a ...'. 'Because of not so tall buildings' is awkward — use 'because the buildings are not very tall' or 'because of the not very tall buildings'. Suggestion: 'I would call it a town because the buildings are not very tall.'
× The town that I like is known for its nature because as far as I'm concerned, many archaeologists found an entire history of dinosaurs or animals which are not exist anymore.
✓ The town I like is known for its natural surroundings because, as far as I'm concerned, archaeologists have found the remains of dinosaurs and other animals that no longer exist.
Word choice and adjective/adverb forms are incorrect: 'nature' -> 'natural surroundings'; 'found an entire history' -> 'have found the remains' and tense should be present perfect for past events with present relevance. 'Which are not exist anymore' is ungrammatical; use 'that no longer exist'. Suggestion: Use clear noun phrases and correct relative clauses: 'remains of dinosaurs and other animals that no longer exist.'
× I remember visiting museums in Pavlodar and learned so many interesting features, added cases of history.
✓ I remember visiting museums in Pavlodar and learning many interesting facts and historical exhibits.
Parallel structure: after 'remember visiting' use gerund 'learning' not past simple 'learned'. 'Features, added cases of history' is awkward and unclear; replace with 'interesting facts and historical exhibits'. Suggestion: Keep verb forms parallel and choose accurate nouns.
× Actually, I've been living here for 12 years, but I'm currently 18.
✓ Actually, I've been living here for 12 years, and I'm currently 18.
Sentence is mostly correct but 'but' implies contrast that doesn't exist; 'and' is more appropriate to connect the two related facts. Suggestion: Use coordinating conjunction that matches the intended relation.
× So I used to live in the village college Reisinger and when I was nearly 7, due to my father's job, we decided to move here in this town.
✓ So I used to live in the village near Reisinger College, and when I was nearly 7, because of my father's job, we decided to move to this town.
Prepositions and word order are incorrect: 'in the village college Reisinger' should be 'in the village near Reisinger College' or 'at Reisinger College'. 'Due to' can be used but 'because of' flows better here. Use 'move to this town' not 'move here in this town'. Suggestion: Clarify place names and use 'move to' for motion toward a place.
× I graduated from the secondary school and got into the pedagogical college.
✓ I graduated from secondary school and got into the pedagogical college.
This sentence is grammatical; only minor article removal improves naturalness: omit 'the' before 'secondary school'. Suggestion: 'I graduated from secondary school and entered the pedagogical college.' is another option.
× Well, I don't think so.
✓ Well, I don't think so.
Sentence is fine; no change needed.
× First of all, the shopping centers has so tiny variations of clothing, but people at that time find it appealing as a place to hang out and secondly, the main streets are not so crowded.
✓ First of all, the shopping centers have very limited clothing options, but people there find them appealing as places to hang out. Secondly, the main streets are not very crowded.
Subject-verb agreement: 'shopping centers' (plural) requires 'have' not 'has'. 'So tiny variations of clothing' is ungrammatical; use 'very limited clothing options'. 'People at that time' is unclear—use 'people there'. Also split into clearer sentences and ensure plural agreement for pronouns 'them'/'places'. Suggestion: Use plural verbs with plural subjects and clearer quantifiers like 'limited'.
× Thirdly, the stone wasn't exactly popular.
✓ Thirdly, the area wasn't exactly popular.
'The stone' is likely a wrong noun choice; context suggests 'the town' or 'the area' was not popular. Also 'wasn't exactly popular' is acceptable but ensure correct noun. If 'stone' refers to a landmark, specify it: 'The Stone monument wasn't very popular.' Suggestion: Replace unclear noun with the intended one (town/area/monument) to convey meaning.
