× It's very interesting activity, especially, umm, especially in long journeys.
✓ It's a very interesting activity, especially on long journeys.
The noun 'activity' requires an article; use 'a' for singular countable nouns. Additionally, the preposition 'on' is used with 'journeys' (on a journey/on long journeys). Suggestion: add 'a' before 'very' and replace 'in' with 'on'.
× Uh, it helps me, uh, it helps me uh, to pass time, to pass time quickly and not boring during the journey.
✓ It helps me to pass the time quickly and not be bored during the journey.
Use infinitive 'to pass' with 'the time' (definite article required). 'Not boring' is incorrect here; the correct adjective for the subject is 'bored' (past participle/adjective). Suggestion: use 'to pass the time' and 'be bored'.
× Umm, sometimes it does.
✓ Umm, sometimes I do.
Pronoun 'it' incorrectly refers to the action; the speaker (I) should be the subject performing the action. Use 'I do' to mean 'I take photos sometimes'.
× I may take photos of scanner outside the window, outside the uh, in the car, because it helps me have the memory.
✓ I may take photos of the scenery outside the window in the car because it helps me keep memories.
'Scanner' is a wrong word; correct is 'scenery' (noun meaning landscape). 'Have the memory' is unnatural; use 'keep memories' or 'have memories'. Remove redundant 'outside the' and place 'in the car' correctly. Also remove unnecessary commas. Suggestion: use 'scenery' and 'keep memories'.
× Actually, I, umm, I love mountains because, uh, the air and the atmosphere of mountains are very calm, especially in autumn and in the spring.
✓ Actually, I love the mountains because the air and atmosphere there are very calm, especially in autumn and spring.
Use definite article 'the' with 'mountains' when speaking generally about a particular landscape. 'Atmosphere of mountains' is awkward; use 'atmosphere there'. Also 'in the spring' can be simplified to 'spring'. Ensure subject-verb agreement: 'air and atmosphere ... are'.
× I love hiking with my family around with my classmates.
✓ I love hiking with my family and with my classmates.
The phrase 'with my family around with my classmates' is ungrammatical and confusing. Separate the ideas with 'and' to show two groups. Alternatively, specify if you mean 'my family and my classmates together' or 'either with family or classmates'.
× It was.
✓ It was great.
The sentence 'It was.' is incomplete and vague. Add an adjective to complete the thought, such as 'great', 'wonderful', or 'relaxing', depending on intended meaning.
