× I like to taking pictures of different views whenever I see something beautiful.
✓ I like taking pictures of different views whenever I see something beautiful.
Use of 'like' followed by a verb should be either 'like to + base verb' or 'like + verb-ing'. 'to taking' mixes infinitive marker 'to' with gerund 'taking', which is incorrect. Remove 'to' or use 'to take'. Suggestion: Use 'I like taking...' or 'I like to take...'.
× I love to capture them in my phone because I'm very addicted to nature or something unique.
✓ I love to capture them on my phone because I'm very attracted to nature and unique things.
The correct preposition for storing photos on a device is 'on' rather than 'in'. Also 'addicted to nature' is unnatural; 'attracted to' or 'fond of' fits intent. 'Or something unique' is vague and should be 'and unique things' to connect ideas properly. Suggestion: Use 'on my phone' and choose appropriate verb ('attracted to', 'fond of').
× I love to keep them in my phone as a memory.
✓ I love to keep them on my phone as a memory.
Same preposition issue: use 'on my phone'. Also 'as a memory' is acceptable but 'as memories' or 'as a reminder' may be more natural depending on meaning. Suggestion: Use 'on my phone' and consider plural 'memories' if keeping several photos.
× I definitely prefer views in rural areas because at that areas the scenes and views are natural.
✓ I definitely prefer views in rural areas because in those areas the scenes and views are natural.
Use 'in those areas' not 'at that areas'. 'Those' agrees in number with 'areas'. 'At' is incorrect preposition for general locations; use 'in'. Suggestion: Use 'in those areas'.
× I am very drawn to nature, that's why the sun sets and the landscape there are unusual and very interesting.
✓ I am very drawn to nature; that's why the sunsets and the landscapes there are unusual and very interesting.
Subject-verb agreement: 'sun sets' should be 'sunsets' as a noun or 'the sun' with singular verb. Original mixes clause structures. Also 'landscape... are' should be 'landscapes... are' to match plural verb, or rephrase to 'the landscape there is unusual'. Suggestion: Use consistent singular/plural forms: 'the sunsets and the landscapes there are...'.
× Sometimes I like to prefer my own country because in my country there are some places who which are so beautiful and but sometimes I would love to travel different countries to.
✓ Sometimes I prefer my own country because there are some places in my country that are so beautiful, but sometimes I would love to travel to different countries.
Multiple issues: 'like to prefer' is redundant; use 'prefer' or 'like'. 'who which' is incorrect for places; use 'that' or 'which' (or 'that are'). The conjunction 'and but' is incorrect; use a single 'but'. 'travel different countries to' has wrong word order and missing preposition 'to' before 'different countries' and extra 'to' at end. Also gerund/infinitive: 'would love to travel to different countries' is correct. Suggestion: Use 'prefer' not 'like to prefer', use 'places that are', use 'but', and place 'to' before 'different countries'.
