× No, there are not much tall building near my home.
✓ No, there are not many tall buildings near my home.
The noun phrase 'tall building' should be plural 'tall buildings' to match 'there are'. Also 'much' is used with uncountable nouns; with countable plural use 'many'. Suggest using 'there are not many tall buildings' or 'there aren't many tall buildings'.
× Although I live in a room countryside area so there are not much tall buildings.
✓ Although I live in a rural area, so there are not many tall buildings.
'Countryside area' is awkward; use 'rural area'. 'Live in a room countryside area' is ungrammatical and redundant. 'There are not much' should be 'there are not many' for plural countable nouns. Also add a comma and remove 'room'.
× But yes there's a mega city around my home, it is called Ludhiana and there are number of tall buildings.
✓ But yes, there's a megacity near my home; it is called Ludhiana and there are a number of tall buildings.
'Mega city' is usually one word 'megacity'. 'Around my home' is acceptable but 'near my home' is more natural. 'There are number of tall buildings' is missing the article 'a' before 'number' — use 'a number of tall buildings' to indicate several.
× No, I do not like to take photographs of buildings.
✓ No, I do not like taking photographs of buildings.
Both 'like to take' and 'like taking' are possible, but 'like taking photographs' is more natural when speaking about general preferences. This is a stylistic improvement rather than a strict grammatical error.
× I often take photographs of mountains, natural sceneries and other scenic creatures.
✓ I often take photographs of mountains, natural scenery and other scenic features.
'Sceneries' is uncountable and should be 'scenery'. 'Scenic creatures' is incorrect — 'creatures' implies animals; use 'features' or 'landscapes' to refer to scenic elements.
× Yes, I would like to visit various historical buildings.
✓ Yes, I would like to visit various historical buildings.
Sentence is grammatically correct. No change needed. (Included for completeness.)
× This includes Fort of Gwalior and Taj Mahal.
✓ This includes the Fort of Gwalior and the Taj Mahal.
Monuments often take the definite article 'the' in English: 'the Fort of Gwalior' and 'the Taj Mahal'. Adding 'the' is more natural and grammatically correct.
× Also it includes Fatehpur Sikri and Agra food.
✓ Also it includes Fatehpur Sikri and Agra Fort.
'Agra food' is a typo; the famous historical site is 'Agra Fort'. Correct the noun. No article is necessary before 'Fatehpur Sikri' but 'the Agra Fort' is also acceptable.
× These are the historical buildings I would like to visit in my future.
✓ These are the historical buildings I would like to visit in the future.
Use the phrase 'in the future' rather than 'in my future'. 'In my future' is unnatural in this context. Tense 'would like to visit' correctly expresses future desire.
× OK. I grew up in a blade so I would rather live in the countryside than in a tall building.
✓ OK. I grew up in a village, so I would rather live in the countryside than in a tall building.
'Grew up in a blade' appears to be a typo; likely 'village' is intended. 'So' should be followed by a comma. The rest of the sentence is fine after correcting the noun.
× I prefer open spaces, lot of greenery because I enjoy being close to the nature.
✓ I prefer open spaces and a lot of greenery because I enjoy being close to nature.
'Lot of greenery' needs the article 'a' -> 'a lot of greenery'. Use 'and' to join items. 'Close to the nature' is incorrect; use 'close to nature' without 'the'.
