× Yes, I love to look at the window, especially taking photos and videos and posting it in my story or Instagram because for me they created a memories as a places that I saw outside.
✓ Yes, I love looking out of the window, especially taking photos and videos and posting them in my Story or on Instagram because for me they create memories of the places I see outside.
Pronoun errors: 'it' should be 'them' to match plural 'photos and videos'. Verb tense/agreement: 'created' should be present 'create' to match habitual action. Article and noun agreement: 'a memories' is incorrect; use 'memories' (plural) without 'a'. Prepositions and phrasing: 'look at the window' -> 'looking out of the window'; 'in my story or Instagram' -> 'in my Story or on Instagram'; 'as a places that I saw outside' -> 'of the places I see outside'. Suggestions: match pronouns to number, use present simple for habitual actions, correct articles, and use appropriate prepositions.
× Yes, I do take photos and videos of the scenery I see and I keep it in my phone or sometimes I printed it and put it in my album book and keep it there to remember as part of my journey and share it with some of my friends.
✓ Yes, I do take photos and videos of the scenery I see and I keep them on my phone, or sometimes I print them and put them in my photo album to keep as a reminder of my journey and share them with some of my friends.
Pronoun number: 'it' should be 'them' for plural 'photos and videos' (Incorrect use of pronouns). Verb form/tense: 'printed' should be present simple 'print' for habitual action; use 'do take' is acceptable for emphasis. Preposition and noun choice: 'in my phone' -> 'on my phone'; 'album book' -> 'photo album'; 'to remember as part of my journey' -> 'to keep as a reminder of my journey'. Suggestions: ensure pronouns match plurality, use present simple for routines, correct prepositions, and choose natural collocations.
× I prefer both because they are both beautiful and relaxing and in the mountains I can find my peace in so is in the sea.
✓ I prefer both because they are beautiful and relaxing; in the mountains I can find my peace, and so can I in the sea.
Awkward structure and tense/pronoun placement: 'in the mountains I can find my peace in so is in the sea' is ungrammatical. Correct conjunction and subject placement: use 'and so can I in the sea' or 'and I can also find peace in the sea'. Suggestions: keep parallel structure when comparing two places and place auxiliary/modal verbs correctly for inversion ('so can I').
× I often go to the sea with my friends to swim or hang out and so is the mountains to go on a hike.
✓ I often go to the sea with my friends to swim or hang out, and I also go to the mountains to hike.
Incorrect structure and verb form: 'so is the mountains to go on a hike' is ungrammatical. Use parallel verbs for parallel activities: 'go to the mountains to hike'. Article and number: 'the mountains' is fine but needs correct subject and verb. Suggestions: maintain parallel sentence structure and use the infinitive 'to hike' rather than 'to go on a hike' after a repeated verb for conciseness.
