    "Part of you always doubts what you are doing" is fine, and sounds same as "A part of ...". And "A part of my steak" is also fine. Maybe I'm not the right person to answer, because I prefer less lawyerly rules about English as there are so many variations, formal vs conversational, American vs The Rest, dictionaries, etc.

    Today, a sudden emergency came up. Someone had a bad fall in the bathroom at home. It all happened so quickly, I didn’t have time to panic, I tried to stay calm and focused on finding an immediate solution. When I was a child, emergencies like this used to paralyze me. But over time, they’ve become valuable lessons that taught me that serenity may be your best ally when chaos hits. NICE!

    It’s good thing.I want to be like that too.I want to keep trying something new. A native would say "over 65" regarding age, not "above 65".

    "I like to listen to music while taking a shower" makes more sense, as showering is the major action.

    "a big trouble" is incorrect. OK: "I am in trouble" "I am in big trouble" (slang) "I'm in a lot of trouble" Sorry I have never seen immortality with a adjective. I feel that is some rhetoric (artistic writing).

    Hometown

    A hometown is
    Like a mother is unique.
    If a hometown you are without
    You cannot be a complete person.

    In the harvest time of at my place, yellow straws of rice cover all the country roads. It releases a soft sweet smell throughout the small village, with the smell of sunshine of rain in sunshine, and has a little smell scent of dried weather mixing with a smell of milk in rice flowers. The heavy chain of rice is the result of the rice tree after it dedicates has dedicated its whole its life.
    This is the time farmers bring rice bundles to their homes with happiness, gratitude and hope. Happiness because family members’ stomaches are fulfilled. Hope looking towards a better life towards. Gratitude to mother Earth because she brings to them living germ life.
    I would love to spend my whole life at my homeland but to survive in this life I can’t do it. Sometimes I have to move on. Inspire of that Inspired by this, I always engage with my new hometown wherever I go. Can you tell me about your home town?


    Mostly corrected plurals and articles, and reorganized a couple sentences
    Very descriptive!
    My family moved many times since I was young, I don't have hometowns, just memories of my places on my journey.

    I have been an Amazon customer for 20 years but have never created a review, even though I often rely on the reviews which other customers have provided. Why not? Partly, I don't know how useful my opinion will be. Partly because to give a review, I feel I should have used the product for some number of months. (In your example, your review is based on the timely delivery of the books, and their condition as promised. Sure, this service could be reviewed immediately.)
    Mostly I don't review because my time is limited, and these days I prefer to answer questions on an expat forum to help new arrivals in my country. And, I correct notebooks in Italki by residents of my new country. I also have personal projects to work on. It is a matter of which hobbies do I like!

    In my opinion, all reviews are subjective, and some are objective as well. Strangers have all sorts of biases, motivations, and even attitudes.
    I strive to be objective when judging reviews. I will discount reviewers who sound dumb and biased, and I will discount all reviews if a product just has a few. Only when there are dozens of reviews that I can average will I feel they they can be trusted. Then, back to the beginning, a reason I don't provide reviews is that mine will be a drop in the bucket of the dozens or hundreds that are averaged, and I would rather spend time writing to help one person directly.
