× Well, to be honest, taking picture is not my cup of tea because I don't feel interested in.
✓ Well, to be honest, taking pictures is not my cup of tea because I'm not interested in it.
The noun 'picture' needs the plural form 'pictures' (or 'a picture') when speaking generally; this is an article/number choice issue related to article errors. Also 'don't feel interested in' is ungrammatical: use the adjective 'interested' with a subject complement 'in it' or the verb phrase 'I'm not interested in it.' Suggestion: use 'taking pictures' for general activities and 'I'm not interested in it.' Use: 'taking pictures' + 'I'm not interested in it.'
× However, I rarely take a picture whenever the scene is really impressed.
✓ However, I rarely take a picture unless the scene is really impressive.
The verb/adjective form is incorrect: 'impressed' is the past participle describing a person who is impressed; the scene should be described by the adjective 'impressive.' Also the conjunction 'whenever' is not appropriate for a rare action; 'unless' or 'only when' fits better. Suggestion: use 'impressive' to describe scenes and 'unless' or 'only when' to show a condition.
× Well, my preference is Lulu area scenes because whenever I see green fields and trees, it can give me a sense of peaceful and relaxation.
✓ Well, I prefer rural area scenes because when I see green fields and trees, they give me a sense of peace and relaxation.
Several issues: 'Lulu area' seems wrong—likely 'rural area.' The original sentence has awkward structure 'my preference is... because whenever...' Rephrase to 'I prefer...' for natural speech. 'Can give me a sense of peaceful and relaxation' mixes adjective and noun incorrectly: use the noun 'peace' and 'relaxation.' Also subject agreement: 'they give' (fields and trees) rather than 'it.' Suggestion: say 'I prefer rural area scenes' and 'they give me a sense of peace and relaxation.'
× I can unwind after a busy day.
✓ I can unwind after a busy day.
This sentence is grammatically correct in present ability (modal 'can' + base verb). No change needed. Keep simple present ability to express a habitual result.
× I prefer wheels or land other country landscapes because in my own country it only has a limited sense and I have already been there most of them. What I'm interested in.
✓ I prefer landscapes of other countries because my own country feels limited and I have already been to most of the places I'm interested in.
Multiple structural and word-choice errors: 'wheels or land other country landscapes' is nonsensical—use 'landscapes of other countries.' 'In my own country it only has a limited sense' misuses pronouns and 'sense'; reword to 'my own country feels limited.' 'I have already been there most of them' mixes pronouns; correct to 'I have already been to most of the places.' The fragment 'What I'm interested in.' should be combined into the previous sentence. Suggestion: restructure the sentence to clearly state preference and reason: 'I prefer landscapes of other countries because my own country feels limited and I have already been to most of the places I'm interested in.'
