× It's a scenery when traveling by bus or by car uh, because I always uh, try to capture the moment uh, and uh, I also in this time I feel uh, more uh, comfortable and uh, I feel like uh, ceremony.
✓ It's a beautiful scenery when traveling by bus or by car, because I always try to capture the moment, and at that time I feel more comfortable and calm.
The word 'scenery' is a non-count noun and should not take the indefinite article 'a'. 'In this time' is incorrect; 'at that time' or 'at those times' is appropriate. 'Ceremony' is the wrong word choice; 'calm' fits the intended meaning. Also remove filler words and correct punctuation to improve clarity.
× Yes Sir, I take portos of the scenery outside the car window because when I travel by car I always try to capture the beautiful moments and also later I throw back and when I see this beautiful photos I.
✓ Yes Sir, I take photos of the scenery outside the car window because when I travel by car I always try to capture beautiful moments, and later I look back at these photos.
Correct 'portos' to 'photos'. 'The scenery' is acceptable but can be left as 'scenery'; drop 'the' if speaking generally. 'I throw back' is incorrect; use 'I look back at' or 'I look back on'. 'These photos' is a correct demonstrative with plural noun; 'this beautiful photos' is wrong because 'this' should be 'these'. Remove the incomplete ending and finish the sentence.
× Actually it depends on my mood. Sometimes I prefer mountains and sometimes I prefer sea.
✓ Actually it depends on my mood. Sometimes I prefer the mountains and sometimes I prefer the sea.
When referring to types of natural features in general with preference, English commonly uses the definite article 'the' before 'mountains' and 'sea' (the mountains, the sea). This is an article usage tied to general nouns of geography.
× I like mountains in the winter because there are many resorts near my town and also I like sea in the summer because it's very beautiful and also I like swimming.
✓ I like the mountains in winter because there are many resorts near my town, and I also like the sea in summer because it's very beautiful and I enjoy swimming.
Use 'the mountains' and 'the sea' when speaking generally about these features. 'In the winter' can be shortened to 'in winter' or use 'the winter'; both are acceptable, but be consistent. Replace 'I like swimming' with 'I enjoy swimming' to sound more natural. Also fix conjunctions and punctuation for fluency.
