× It's one of my favorite things to do when I'm in a car and I'm not driving.
✓ It's one of my favorite things to do when I'm in the car and I'm not driving.
Use 'the car' because referring to the general situation of being inside a car; the definite article is appropriate for a specific context (being in a car/the car while traveling). Replace 'a car' with 'the car' for natural phrasing.
× Uh, since I enjoy the view everywhere I go, even if it's a filled Greenfield or, I don't know, some desserts.
✓ Since I enjoy the view everywhere I go, whether it's a green field or, I don't know, some deserts.
Original has vocabulary and article issues and awkward structure. 'Filled Greenfield' is incorrect; use 'a green field' or 'green fields' and 'deserts' is correct plural for dry landscapes. Use 'whether' to present alternatives. Also 'deserts' spelled correctly.
× Generally I love taking photos of everything, specially sky.
✓ Generally I love taking photos of everything, especially the sky.
Use 'especially' (not 'specially') and include the definite article 'the' before 'sky' for natural English. 'Especially' is the correct adverb to emphasize preference.
× Umm, I don't know, If I'm in the car and I see something beautiful in my view, I definitely take that picture.
✓ If I'm in the car and I see something beautiful, I definitely take a picture of it.
Capitalize 'If' not necessary here but more importantly change 'in my view' to more natural omission or 'in my view' is odd; use 'see something beautiful' and 'take a picture of it' for correct object placement. Use 'a picture' rather than 'that picture' unless referring to a previously mentioned photo.
× I mean, I have umm, done mountain climbing with my friends and I love that umm.
✓ I mean, I have done mountain climbing with my friends and I loved it.
Tense and pronoun reference: 'have done' (present perfect) is fine for experience, but 'I love that umm' is awkward; better to say 'I enjoyed it' or 'I loved it.' Matching tense to express past experience choose 'I enjoyed it' or use present perfect with 'I have enjoyed it.' Here 'I loved it' clarifies meaning.
× But umm, she is one of my favorite things to go.
✓ But, mountains are one of my favorite things to do.
Original uses 'she' incorrectly to refer to 'mountains' and has awkward phrase 'favorite things to go.' Use the noun 'mountains' and correct verb phrase 'favorite things to do' or 'one of my favorite places to go.' Ensure pronoun agreement and correct collocation.
× Uh, I love the beach. I love the smell of the beach, the sea, and everything about it.
✓ I love the beach. I love the smell of the beach, the sea, and everything about it.
Sentence is grammatically correct; no change needed. (No correction applied.)
