Remove the definite article before plural nouns that are used generally ('landscapes', 'historical buildings') and use simple present 'when I travel' instead of present continuous 'when I'm traveling' to indicate habitual action. Suggestion: use simple present for repeated or habitual activities and omit 'the' when referring to classes of things.
× I prefer views in urban areas because I love looking at different types of architecture.
✓ I prefer views in urban areas because I love looking at different types of architecture.
No grammatical correction needed; sentence is acceptable. (Included here to show no change required for adjective use.)
× I remember when I visited Prague in 2023, I was astounded by the beautiful Gothic architecture of the 11th century in Prague.
✓ I remember when I visited Prague in 2023; I was astounded by the beautiful Gothic architecture from the 11th century in Prague.
Use 'from the 11th century' to indicate origin/time period of the architecture. Also replace the comma with a semicolon or period to separate two independent clauses. Suggestion: use clearer preposition for time origin and separate clauses correctly.
× I prefer views in other countries, umm, because the views in my countries, I've grown up in my own countries, so I'm very used to those views.
✓ I prefer views in other countries because the views in my country, where I grew up, are familiar to me, so I'm very used to them.
Use singular 'my country' if speaker refers to their own single country; avoid repeating phrase 'my countries'. Use 'where I grew up' instead of 'I've grown up in my own countries' for clarity. Match plural pronoun 'them' to 'views'. Suggestion: keep subject number consistent and use relative clause for background information.
× Uh, the beautiful Himalayas, the wooden sculpture and architecture is very normal to me.
✓ The beautiful Himalayas, wooden sculptures, and local architecture are very familiar to me.
Subjects joined by commas require plural verb 'are' not singular 'is'. Use 'familiar' instead of 'normal' for natural English collocation. Make noun forms plural and parallel ('wooden sculptures' and 'local architecture'). Suggestion: ensure subject-verb agreement with compound subjects and choose appropriate adjective collocations.
× Even though they're beautiful.
✓ Even though they're beautiful, I am used to them.
The original is a sentence fragment lacking a main clause. Combine with a main clause to complete the thought. Suggestion: attach the subordinate clause to an independent clause to form a complete sentence.
× So looking at different countries views would be very unique to me, uh.
✓ So looking at views in other countries would be very unique to me.
Use 'views in other countries' for proper noun order and possessive sense; remove filler 'uh'. Also keep 'would be' if speaking hypothetically. Suggestion: use 'views in other countries' or 'different countries' consistently and avoid extra fillers.
