× To be honest, not really because I reside in a small town in Nian province so there are not any high rise buildings nearby.
✓ To be honest, not really, because I reside in a small town in Nian Province, so there are no high-rise buildings nearby.
Use 'no' + plural noun instead of 'not any' after 'there are' for natural negation; 'high-rise' is a compound adjective and needs a hyphen; 'Province' is a proper noun here and should be capitalized; add commas for clarity.
× There are only about 10 or so small houses around my home.
✓ There are only about ten or so small houses around my home.
Use words or digits consistently; in formal speech or writing, spell out small numbers like 'ten'. The plural 'houses' is correct; this correction is stylistic not grammatical but aligns with standard usage.
× You know, last week I went to the Tokyo, the capital city of Japan, and I take many photos of buildings because it has many towering skycroppers and now online, which makes me feel enjoyable and happy.
✓ You know, last week I went to Tokyo, the capital city of Japan, and I took many photos of buildings because it has many towering skyscrapers, and I uploaded them online, which made me feel very happy.
Do not use 'the' before most city names like Tokyo; maintain past tense ('went' -> 'took', 'made') to match 'last week'; 'skycroppers' is misspelled — correct is 'skyscrapers'; 'now online' is unclear, change to 'uploaded them online'; 'enjoyable' is incorrect here — use 'happy' or 'felt happy'.
× Yes, uh, of course. A building in Turkey that I would like to visit, you know, umm, it has many towering skycroppers with fascinating designs.
✓ Yes, of course. There is a building in Turkey that I would like to visit; it has many towering skyscrapers with fascinating designs.
Sentence fragment fixed by adding 'There is' for completeness; 'skycroppers' corrected to 'skyscrapers'; ensure coherence and present simple for general truth about the building.
× I also enjoy selling the pictures online because, uh, it is in.
✓ I also enjoy selling the pictures online because they are popular there.
Original sentence is incomplete and unclear ('it is in' has no clear subject or meaning). Replace with a complete clause explaining why the speaker sells pictures online. Use plural pronoun 'they' to refer to 'pictures'.
× To be honest, I don't really want to live in a tall building because it often feel cold and impersonal.
✓ To be honest, I don't really want to live in a tall building because it often feels cold and impersonal.
With singular subject 'it' the verb requires third person singular form 'feels' not 'feel'.
× I prefer living in a small house.
✓ I prefer living in a small house.
This sentence is acceptable; 'prefer' can be followed by gerund 'living'. No grammatical change needed. Keeping it for completeness.
× Although it is small, it has enough space for everyone in my family and I feel very comfortable to live with.
✓ Although it is small, it has enough space for everyone in my family, and I feel very comfortable living there with them.
The phrase 'comfortable to live with' is incorrect for expressing personal comfort; use 'comfortable living there' and 'with them' to indicate family members. Also add comma before coordinating conjunction for clarity.
