× Yeah, I do like taking pictures of different views, but my favorite one would be the more scenic, the more quiet and peaceful view because it feels like it's very relaxing and pleasing to the eye.
✓ Yeah, I do like taking pictures of different views, but my favorite is the more scenic, quieter, and more peaceful view because it feels very relaxing and pleasing to the eye.
The original uses comparative forms incorrectly and redundantly ('the more scenic, the more quiet and peaceful'). Use parallel comparative forms: 'more scenic, quieter, and more peaceful' or use adjectives with consistent comparative structure. Also replace 'my favorite one would be' with 'my favorite is' for clearer present preference. Suggestion: use consistent adjective forms and avoid unnecessary 'would be' when stating a general preference.
× So every time I look at that picture, it takes back to the memory.
✓ So every time I look at that picture, it takes me back to the memory.
The verb phrase 'takes back to' is missing the object pronoun 'me'. The correct idiom is 'takes me back to (a memory)'. Add the appropriate object pronoun to complete the transitive verb. Suggestion: include the person affected by the action (me) after 'takes'.
× I prefer views in rural areas because for me it's more scenic, more peaceful and quiet, and every time I'm there or I'm seeing that view, it feels like I'm on the clouds and I want, I don't even remember that.
✓ I prefer views in rural areas because, for me, they are more scenic, more peaceful, and quieter, and every time I'm there or see that view, it feels like I'm on a cloud and I forget everything.
Multiple issues: 'it's' refers to a singular subject but 'views' is plural; use 'they are'. Use parallel comparative adjectives: 'more peaceful and quieter' or 'more peaceful and quiet' should be consistent. 'I'm on the clouds' is idiomatic error; use 'on a cloud' or 'on the clouds' can be plural but 'on a cloud' is common. 'I want, I don't even remember that' is unclear; likely intended 'I forget everything'—use concise, correct verb phrase. Suggestion: match subject number, keep parallel adjectives, and replace informal/disfluent fragments with clear clauses.
× I prefer views in other countries because I seldom see it and it's new to my eye and I like different places, different people, different cultures, so every time I'm seeing a new one it I.
✓ I prefer views in other countries because I seldom see them and they are new to my eye. I like different places, people, and cultures, so every time I see a new view I feel excited.
Pronoun number mismatch: 'views' is plural but 'it' refers to singular; use 'them' and then 'they are'. 'It's new to my eye' is awkward; 'they are new to my eye' or 'they are new to me' is better. 'Every time I'm seeing a new one it I' is ungrammatical and fragmented; replace with 'every time I see a new view I feel excited' for clarity and correct tense. Suggestion: ensure pronouns agree in number with antecedents, avoid fragmented clauses, and use simple present for habitual preferences.
