× Yes, there are definitely so many tall buildings near my home because I live in Shenzhen, uh, is uh, more than a fast-paced developed city which means there are so many skyscrapers.
✓ Yes, there are definitely many tall buildings near my home because I live in Shenzhen, which is a very fast-paced, developed city and has many skyscrapers.
Issues: incorrect clause structure and awkward verb use ('is uh, more than a fast-paced developed city' is ungrammatical). Use 'which is' to introduce a relative clause describing Shenzhen. Replace 'so many' with 'many' for natural phrasing and combine ideas with 'and' to show consequence. Also add articles/commas for clarity and correct adjective order (fast-paced, developed).
× But I don't like tall buildings because it hide the light and the uh trees.
✓ But I don't like tall buildings because they hide the light and the trees.
Error: 'it hide' mismatches plural subject. 'Tall buildings' is plural, so use 'they hide'. Also 'the trees' needs the definite article for specific trees mentioned; remove filler sounds.
× I don't like take photos of beauties.
✓ I don't like taking photos of beautiful things.
Error: after 'like' use gerund form 'taking'. 'Beauties' is a noun but unnatural here; use 'beautiful things' or 'beautiful subjects'. Gerund required when expressing preferences: 'like taking'. Also adjust vocabulary for naturalness.
× Actually I prefer take photos of a natural sceneries like mountains or rivers, umm but sometimes I take photos of ancient buildings because they are very special and uh, old.
✓ Actually I prefer taking photos of natural scenery like mountains or rivers, but sometimes I take photos of ancient buildings because they are very special and old.
Error: after 'prefer' use gerund 'taking'. Use uncountable 'scenery' instead of 'a natural sceneries'. Remove article 'a' and plural mismatch. Clean filler words and keep tense consistent.
× Yes, there are building I definitely want to visit which is the. Send the tongue and speak in Barcelona, Spain, because it's a very unique and special buildings designed by a talented designer.
✓ Yes, there is a building I definitely want to visit: the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, Spain, because it's a very unique and special building designed by a talented architect.
Multiple errors: 'there are building' mixes plural verb with singular noun; use 'there is a building'. Name correction: likely 'Sagrada Família' (not 'Send the tongue and speak'). Use singular 'building' to match 'a building' and singular verb 'is'. Use 'architect' rather than 'designer' for a person who designs buildings. Remove extra words and fix article use.
× No, I don't want to live in a tall buildings at all because I prefer to live in a a lower. House because tall buildings are very dangerous for for me, I'm afraid of something very high and.
✓ No, I don't want to live in a tall building at all because I prefer to live in a lower house; tall buildings are dangerous for me because I'm afraid of heights.
Errors: 'a tall buildings' mixes singular article with plural noun; use 'a tall building' or 'tall buildings' without 'a'. 'a a lower. House' is fragmented; use 'a lower house' or better 'a low house' but 'house on lower floors' is more natural. Remove duplicate 'for'. Express fear correctly: 'afraid of heights' instead of 'afraid of something very high and.' Ensure sentence has proper verb and completes the idea.
