× Actually, I prefer to savor a moment rather than, uh, taking, uh, pictures, but I can't say that I, uh, prefer to take a picture on different views because you tell me to reduce stress and, uh, got a best, uh, picture of your views.
✓ Actually, I prefer to savor a moment rather than take pictures, but I can't say that I prefer to take pictures of different views because you told me to reduce stress and to get the best pictures of your views.
The phrase 'rather than' should be followed by the base form of the verb (infinitive without to) when contrasted with another verb (rule for parallel structure). 'Taking' is incorrect here; use 'take'. 'Pictures' should be plural to match general meaning. 'You tell me' conflicts with past action context; use 'you told me'. 'Got a best picture' is incorrect: use 'to get the best pictures' (infinitive to express purpose) and plural 'pictures'. Also remove filler words for clarity. Suggestion: Use parallel verb forms after 'rather than' and keep tense consistency (use past 'told' if referring to a past instruction). Use plural nouns for general references and use 'to' + verb for intended purpose.
× So I've always, uh, taken picture in rural areas because, uh, it helped me. It helps me to improve my photographic and, uh, get more, uh, than, uh, a best pictures and, uh, and the specifically way.
✓ So I've always taken pictures in rural areas because it helps me. It helps me to improve my photography and to take better pictures in a more specific way.
Use the plural 'pictures' (count noun). 'I've always taken' is present perfect and can be followed by present-tense explanation 'it helps me' for ongoing effect; avoid mixing tenses incorrectly ('it helped me' implies past). 'Photographic' is an adjective needing a noun; use the noun 'photography'. 'Get more than a best pictures' is ungrammatical; use 'to take better pictures' or 'to get better pictures'. 'The specifically way' is incorrect adjective order and form; use 'in a more specific way' or 'more specifically'. Suggestion: Keep tense consistent (present perfect followed by present simple for continuing results), use correct noun forms, and use comparative phrasing like 'better' rather than awkward phrases.
× To be honest, I admire your views that, uh, my own country is because, uh, uh, my country, we have, uh, a rural areas. As I said before 2 minutes, it's, uh, it's, uh, help me to improve my photography so that.
✓ To be honest, I prefer the views in my own country because we have rural areas. As I said two minutes ago, they help me to improve my photography.
Pronoun and subject issues: 'I admire your views that my own country is' is confusing and uses incorrect pronouns and reference. Use 'I prefer the views in my own country' to state preference. 'My country, we have' mixes first-person possessive with plural subject; use 'we have' or 'my country has'—here 'we have rural areas' is natural. 'A rural areas' uses inconsistent article and plural; use 'rural areas' without 'a'. 'As I said before 2 minutes' should be 'two minutes ago' for time expression. 'It's help me' is ungrammatical; use 'they help me' (rural areas as plural) or 'they help me to improve'. Suggestion: Use clear subject pronouns matching number (we/they) and correct time expressions; avoid mixing 'my country' with 'we' awkwardly.
