Hi, your essay structure is pretty good. You don't have that many grammatical errors, but often you use a very complicated structure to say a simple thing, so it doesn't sound that smooth or natural. Try breaking up your long sentences into 2 or 3 shorter ones. There also seemed to be a lot of repetition. Also, there were a lot of misspelled words, which was very distracting.

Would you prefer to live in one place for most of your life or move to different places?
I prefer to move to different places for most of my life on account of several prominent reasons, including meeting{"experiencing" would be better here - you "meet people" but "experience environments"} new enviorenments{sp}, discovering different cultures, and especially making a lot of private[close] friends, I am going to reveal below. {this is a great thesis, but it would be better to have a longer introduction with a few more general sentences before this one} Firstly, with the way of[by] moving to different places in order to work, or travel, you will firmly[surely] meet new, interesting, and different environments, and cities that you will be affected by them throughout the World.{no caps} Because of your constant movements, you will maintain your life in these different surroundings and that is going to affect both your life and [the] lives of persons of your family mostly positively{"... family in a positive way" sounds better}. For instance, your movement to [a] new place will show you intereseting{sp}, or unmeaningfull ["meaningful", but I think "unique" would be better] behaviors belonging to the native people. Secondly, you will get new great{"new great" sounds better} jobs with the help of moving [to] different places. Nowadays, it is a way of life for many people, whose capabilities are not adequate to find a good business in their native country, or whose job requires that they have to work in different zones[parts] of the World, by moving[to move] to new places. Hence, they can find a good job, or do their job in the different places. For example, I met an alumni who wants to move out of the counrty{sp} so as to work and get a good salary, and also improve his personal features{I am unsure what you mean by "features" here} with the way of movinf [by moving to] different places. Consequently{this is not the correct transisition - consequently means "it follows from what I said before" here you need "Moreover" or "In addition"}, moving to a different places makes you have{"... places gives you a chance to make a lot..." sounds better} a lot of new friends from all diffrent{sp} places of the World. İt is actually [a] vital point for people having[to have] a good relationship with lot of business men, because this relationship is a bridge between people movig{sp} ato{sp} new places arround{sp} the World and their fellows by encountering a communication amidst cultures.{this sentence is too long and awkward} For instance, when ı was a student at university, I was accepted by the commission for taking[to take] some classes out of the country with Erasmus System . I was sent to [a] diffrent{sp} unicersity{sp} and as far as I am concerned I met a lot of new fellows from many different countries during the process. That is why it is absolutely the best way to make friends.
