× Certainly highlight travel by bus or car or train.
✓ I usually travel by bus, car, or train.
The original sentence is unclear and missing proper subject-verb structure. 'Certainly highlight travel' is ungrammatical. Use a clear subject and adverb of frequency ('I usually') and list modes of transport with commas. This fixes sentence structure and clarity.
× I like enjoying nature by seeing windows because it gave me a chance to enjoy the nature or outside what's happening.
✓ I like enjoying nature through the window because it gives me a chance to enjoy the outdoors and see what is happening outside.
Errors: incorrect article use ('the nature'), wrong tense ('gave' vs present), awkward phrase 'seeing windows'. Use 'through the window' and 'outdoors'. Use present tense 'gives' to match habitual action and 'see what is happening' for correct clause order.
× I like seeing nature more than watching people what are doing inside the vehicle.
✓ I prefer looking at nature rather than watching what people are doing inside the vehicle.
Problems: wrong relative clause word order ('what are doing') and word choice. Use 'what people are doing' and 'prefer' for comparison. This corrects pronoun/clause structure and improves register.
× It makes me closer to the.
✓ It makes me feel closer to nature.
Original sentence is incomplete and missing an object after 'to the'. Adding 'feel' and 'nature' completes the thought and corrects sentence structure.
× Not always, but whenever I see a beautiful scenery or a important thing like important structure monument, I like to take photos because taking photos make the memory alive and I am bored and I think of my journey after seeing these photos.
✓ Not always, but whenever I see a beautiful scene or an important place like a historical monument, I like to take photos because photos keep the memory alive and I often think about my journey when I look at them.
Errors: 'a scenery' should be 'a scene' or 'scenery' (uncountable), article error 'a important' should be 'an important', awkward phrase 'important structure monument' corrected to 'historical monument', subject-verb agreement 'taking photos make' -> 'photos keep' and tense/wording refined. Also 'I am bored' was irrelevant; replaced with clearer meaning 'I often think about my journey'.
× I am always a sea person and I like being in the sea because he give me a piece of mind, always refresh my mind and whenever I have holiday I like to choose a place when I have a chance to visit the sea because see can never be old once I have heard this.
✓ I have always been a sea person and I like being by the sea because it gives me peace of mind and refreshes me. Whenever I have a holiday, I choose a place where I can visit the sea because the sea never gets old, or so I have heard.
Multiple errors: tense and article problems ('I am always a sea person' -> 'I have always been'), pronoun error ('he give' -> 'it gives'), incorrect noun phrase 'piece of mind' -> 'peace of mind', verb agreement 'always refresh my mind' -> 'refreshes me', preposition/article choices ('in the sea' -> 'by the sea' for preference), conjunctions and clause order improved. Final clause clarified and idiomaticized.
