Ví dụ: Yes, I do. I especially enjoy photographing natural landscapes because my hometown in Turkey is famous for its scenic beauty. For example, I often take pictures of coastal cliffs and pine forests when I visit nearby parks, which helps me capture different moods and lighting.

× This is one of my favorites like taking pictures of different views, I like different landscapes and also I prefer to take some photos from natural beauties.
✓ This is one of my favorite hobbies: taking pictures of different views. I like various landscapes, and I also prefer to take photos of natural beauty.
The original sentence misuses 'favorites' (plural) and 'like' awkwardly together; 'favorite' as an adjective modifies 'hobby'. 'Taking pictures of different views' functions as a noun phrase (hobby) and should be linked clearly. 'Different' repeated and 'natural beauties' are awkward; use 'various landscapes' and 'natural beauty' (uncountable) instead. Also improve sentence structure by splitting into two sentences and using 'of' rather than 'from'.
× And I'm from a city in Turkey which is famous with natural natural.
✓ I am from a city in Turkey that is famous for its natural beauty.
The phrase 'famous with' is incorrect; the correct preposition is 'for' when indicating reason (famous for). 'Natural natural' is a repetition and ungrammatical; use 'natural beauty' as the correct noun phrase. 'Which' can be used, but 'that' is more natural here; also include 'its' to refer to the city's characteristic.
× I prefer take photos in rural areas because in there there are too many different views.
✓ I prefer taking photos in rural areas because there are so many different views there.
After 'prefer' when referring to an activity, use the -ing form: 'prefer taking'. The original places 'in there' incorrectly; the typical order is 'there are ... there' or better 'there are ... in rural areas'. Also 'too many' can imply excess; 'so many' is more neutral and appropriate here.
× I mean people do too many different things in their daily life and also there could be some animals or.
✓ I mean people do many different things in their daily lives, and there may also be some animals.
'Too many' again suggests excessive; 'many' is more suitable. 'Daily life' should be pluralized to 'daily lives' when referring to people generally. 'There could be some animals or' is incomplete and ungrammatical; replace with 'there may also be some animals' to complete the idea. Use 'may' or 'may also' as a modal to express possibility.
