× Yes, I'm a big fan of taking picture of different view especially when I travel.
✓ Yes, I'm a big fan of taking pictures of different views especially when I travel.
The nouns 'picture' and 'view' should be plural because the speaker talks generally about multiple photos and various views. In English, countable nouns used in a general sense often require plural form (pictures, views). To improve, use 'pictures' and 'views' when referring to more than one item.
× I love catering landscape and cityscape because they remind me of the atmosphere of a place I usually sharing.
✓ I love capturing landscapes and cityscapes because they remind me of the atmosphere of a place I'm usually sharing.
The verb 'catering' is incorrect; the intended verb is 'capturing'. 'Landscape' and 'cityscape' should be plural as general categories: 'landscapes' and 'cityscapes'. The clause 'a place I usually sharing' misses the auxiliary verb 'am' and needs the present participle 'sharing' to form 'I'm usually sharing'. To improve, use correct verb 'capture', make nouns plural when general, and include the auxiliary in progressive forms.
× I usually share it on the social media such as Facebook, Instagram.
✓ I usually share them on social media such as Facebook and Instagram.
Use 'share them' because 'pictures' (plural) are shared. 'On social media' (no definite article) is the natural collocation, and 'such as' is followed by items joined by 'and'. To improve, match pronoun number, omit 'the' before 'social media', and list platforms with 'and'.
× I refer the activity that slows my mind down instead of over stimulating.
✓ I prefer activities that slow my mind down instead of overstimulating me.
The verb 'refer' is incorrect; the intended verb is 'prefer'. 'Activity' should be plural if speaking generally ('activities') and 'over stimulating' should be one word 'overstimulating'. Also include the object 'me' after 'overstimulating' to clarify who is stimulated. To improve, use 'prefer', pluralize when general, and combine 'overstimulating' as one word.
× So I would rather to choose the rural area because of the peaceful view and the feeling.
✓ So I would rather choose rural areas because of the peaceful views and the feeling.
After 'would rather' do not use 'to' before the verb; say 'would rather choose'. Use plurals 'rural areas' and 'views' when speaking generally. 'The feeling' is vague but acceptable; consider 'the peaceful feeling' for clarity. To improve, remove 'to', pluralize general nouns, and optionally add an adjective to 'feeling'.
× Umm I refer the view in other countries because I'm a person who love the beauty.
✓ Umm I prefer views in other countries because I'm a person who loves beauty.
Again, use 'prefer' not 'refer'. 'View' should be plural 'views' when general. After 'who' the verb must agree with the singular subject 'person', so use 'loves'. 'The beauty' is better without 'the' when speaking about beauty in general. To improve, use 'prefer', pluralize, and ensure subject-verb agreement.
× But if I have a chance, I will explore all the scenery and the view and landscape in my country first, so I will explore the in other country after.
✓ But if I have the chance, I will explore all the scenery, views, and landscapes in my country first, and then I will explore other countries afterwards.
Use 'the chance' (idiomatic) and parallel lists: 'scenery, views, and landscapes' with commas. 'Explore the in other country' is ungrammatical; use 'explore other countries afterwards'. 'Afterwards' or 'after that' fits better than 'after'. To improve, use idiomatic articles, parallel structure in lists, and correct phrasing for subsequent actions.
