× Yes, of course, I love to take pictures, but uh, I'm not taking pictures for to post on social media.
✓ Yes, of course, I love taking pictures, but I'm not taking pictures to post on social media.
The original uses an unnecessary infinitive 'for to post' and mixes 'love to take' with progressive 'I'm not taking' awkwardly. Use 'love taking' or 'love to take' consistently, and use 'to post' (infinitive) without 'for.' Suggestion: use 'I love taking pictures' and 'to post on social media.'
× I don't have any account in the social media on social media, but uh, this for, for the memory reminders like uh yeah.
✓ I don't have any social media accounts, but I use them for memories and reminders.
'The social media' is incorrect; 'social media' is uncountable or plural—use 'social media accounts.' The phrase was also redundant. Rephrase for clarity: 'I don't have any social media accounts, but I use (them) for memories and reminders.'
× Nowadays the Google Photos is remind you, you know, the last year February 11 you are here.
✓ Nowadays Google Photos reminds you, for example, 'On February 11 last year you were here.'
Tense and verb form errors: use simple present 'reminds' for a habitual function. Also the reported message should use past tense 'you were here.' Suggestion: 'Google Photos reminds you' and quote the reminder in past tense.
× Such kind of memories are popping up. It will be good for.
✓ Those kinds of memories pop up, and they are nice to have.
'Such kind of' is ungrammatical; use 'those kinds of' or 'such memories.' 'It will be good for' is incomplete. Rephrase to a complete thought: 'they are nice to have.'
× Of course, I prefer to take pictures in rural areas that that only we can explore the natural, we can explore the nature and we can get the the we can really connect with the nature.
✓ Of course, I prefer taking pictures in rural areas because we can explore nature and really connect with it.
Awkward repetition and incorrect article 'the natural' and redundant phrases. Use 'explore nature' (no article) and 'connect with it.' Use gerund 'prefer taking pictures' or 'prefer to take pictures.' Remove repetitions.
× So we can that one only you know, the most of the windows features is natural photos only.
✓ In those places, most of the views are natural, so I take nature photos.
This sentence is unclear and ungrammatical ('the most of the windows features'). Reconstruct meaning: 'most of the views are natural.' Use clear subject and verb and remove filler words.
× I don't have any boundary like I can prefer in my country or outside out of my country.
✓ I don't have any boundaries; I can prefer to take pictures in my country or abroad.
'Any boundary' should be plural 'boundaries' or better 'I don't have any boundaries.' 'Outside out of my country' is redundant; use 'abroad.' Also 'prefer in my country' should be 'prefer to take pictures in my country.'
× You know, I want to explore all over the world.
✓ I want to explore the whole world.
'Explore all over the world' is wordy. 'Explore the whole world' is more natural and concise.
× So whenever you get the opportunities you have to, I have to I go.
✓ So whenever I get the opportunity, I go.
The sentence mixes second person 'you' and first person 'I' and has repetition. Use consistent pronoun 'I' and singular 'opportunity' or plural 'opportunities.' Remove extra filler.
× You should go there and explore and feel connected with nature, take the photos and explore the new culture.
✓ I should go there to explore, feel connected with nature, take photos, and experience the new culture.
The original uses 'You should' while the student intends to describe their own actions. Also maintain parallel structure in the list of activities: use infinitives 'to explore, to feel, to take, to experience' or omit 'to' consistently. Replace 'the photos' with 'photos' and 'explore the new culture' with 'experience the new culture.'
