× It's helps me to remain, uh, beautiful scenery and places.
✓ It helps me to remember beautiful scenery and places.
The subject-verb agreement is incorrect: 'It' takes the verb 'helps' (third person singular) so 'It's helps' is wrong. Also the verb 'remain' is not appropriate for keeping memories; use 'remember'. Suggestion: use 'It helps me to remember...' or 'It helps me remember...'.
× Photography is a relaxing hobby for me.
✓ Photography is a relaxing hobby for me.
This sentence is grammatically correct and needs no change. It is included here to acknowledge correctness; keep as is.
× I prefer in rural areas because I born there and I know about everything and in rural areas I feel more comfortable and relaxing, fresh air, friendly people, everything is beautiful.
✓ I prefer rural areas because I was born there and I know the place well. In rural areas I feel more comfortable and relaxed; the air is fresh, people are friendly, and everything is beautiful.
Multiple errors: 'prefer in rural areas' is incorrect preposition use — say 'prefer rural areas' (no preposition). 'I born there' is missing auxiliary and past participle; use past tense passive 'I was born there' (Past tense issue). 'I know about everything' is awkward; 'I know the place well' is clearer. 'Relaxing' should be 'relaxed' to describe a feeling (incorrect use of adjectives/adverbs). Also list elements with proper punctuation. Suggestions: remove unnecessary prepositions, use correct past tense 'was born', and use adjective 'relaxed' to describe feeling.
× I prefer in your own country or in other countries? -> I prepare my own country because I know about my country uh, also, I haven't uh, explore many places in my country yet, so I want to explore my umm, unseen places.
✓ I prefer my own country because I know it well. Also, I haven't explored many places in my country yet, so I want to explore the places I haven't seen.
Several errors: 'I prepare my own country' uses wrong verb; should be 'I prefer my own country' (vocabulary error but treated as sentence structure). 'I know about my country' is wordy; 'I know it well' is natural. 'I haven't uh, explore' mixes present perfect auxiliary 'have' with base form 'explore'; correct form is present perfect 'haven't explored' (Incorrect use of verb tense - past participle required). 'Unseen places' is acceptable but 'places I haven't seen' is more natural. Suggestions: use 'haven't explored' for present perfect, replace 'prepare' with 'prefer', and simplify phrases for fluency.
× Do you like taking pictures of different views? -> Absolutely, I love capturing beautiful scenery whenever I travel.
✓ Absolutely, I love capturing beautiful scenery whenever I travel.
This sentence is correct as written. 'I love capturing' correctly uses first person; no third person singular error. Included to indicate no correction needed.
