Detailed explanation: ‘ı’ should be written in capital letters. The Word ‘was’ should be used instead of ‘had been’, because when saying had been it means as if somebody else informed about that incident. The words ‘because’, ‘but’ and ‘and’ should not be used at the beginning of a sentence, they should be connected to the previous sentence with a comma.’As a city’ is not a proper usage. The Word ‘opinions’ should be used in singular form,  because the writer mentions only one idea. The correct spelling for ‘unıversity’ is ‘university’. ‘People from of all of ages’ is not a correct usage. It is wrong to us ‘in’ before here, so is ‘to’ after respect. In the third sentence, there are many sentences , so there should be used a connector to make a unified paragraph. It is wrong and unnecessary to use ‘are’ before the verb ‘belongs’. Saying ‘to go and…’ is a colloquial expression..( 4th paragraph). ‘Gettin graduated’ should be used as ‘graduating’. In academic writing ‘don’t, what’s, they’re are not accepted. We should use the complete form of all words. Lastly, it is obvious that the writer wrote the word ‘that’ as ‘yhat’ by mistake. A corrected edition of the text is as below:
