3. But in my hometown, it feels like spring nearly all year round.

feel like 感觉好像，其中like 为介词，后常接名词（短语），从句或动词的-ing形式，相当于“want to do sth.”或“would like to do sth.”后。
※ With these people, he feels like a fish out of water.

※ I’m tired. I feel like going to bed.我累了，我想要去睡觉。

because 意为“因为”，作连词，引导原因状语从句，可用于回答why 提出的问题。
※ Sue didn’t come to school because of her illness.
=Sue didn’t come to school because she was ill.
苏没有来上学是因为她生病了。
hundreds of 数以百计的
hundred前加基数词，表示“几百”时，hundred后不加-s。
hundred与of连用，表示“数百”时，hundred后加-s。

※ There are hundreds of people in the park.
公园里有数百人。
类似用法：
thousands of 数以千计的
millions of 数以百万计的
