× I love taking pictures of different sceneries.
✓ I love taking pictures of different scenes.
'Scenery' is an uncountable noun, so the plural 'sceneries' is incorrect in this context. Use 'scenery' (uncountable) or the countable noun 'scenes'. Suggestion: say 'different scenery' or 'different scenes' depending on meaning.
× I really love to, uh, upload them to social media to and share with friends about the experience.
✓ I really love to upload them to social media and share the experience with friends.
The phrase contains redundant and misplaced particles: 'to and share' is incorrect. Also 'share with friends about the experience' is awkward. Correct by using a single infinitive phrase 'to upload' and then the coordinate verb 'and share', and place 'with friends' directly after 'share'.
× The views in urban areas, looking at the cars wandering around and.
✓ I like the views in urban areas, watching cars moving around.
The original is a sentence fragment with an incomplete clause and an extraneous conjunction 'and.' It lacks a main verb. Rephrase to provide a complete clause: 'I like the views in urban areas' and use a participle phrase 'watching cars moving around.'
× The potash and the people walking around.
✓ the parks and the people walking around.
'Potash' is the wrong word here (it refers to potassium compounds). Likely intended 'parks.' This is a word choice error; replace with the correct noun 'parks.' Also combine with the previous sentence for clarity.
× I prefer the views in my own country. As there are lots of uh rural views in my countries, I'm always go to uh take photos in.
✓ I prefer the views in my own country. Since there are lots of rural views in my country, I always go to take photos there.
Errors include plural 'countries' when 'country' was intended, incorrect use of 'As' at sentence start (better 'Since' but not mandatory), and wrong verb form 'I'm always go' which mixes present continuous with base verb. Correct subject-verb agreement by using 'country' and the habitual present 'I always go.' Place 'there' to indicate location. Suggestion: 'Since there are lots of rural views in my country, I always go there to take photos.'
