Do you prefer views in urban areas or rural areas?

Oh, I absolutely love taking photos in rural areas because there are different variations there. The landscape is changing constantly, unlike city spaces or urban areas where the landscape is more or less same. I prefer to take pictures of trees and different animals, birds or anything.

Do you prefer views in your own country or in other countries?

I assume that views in different countries are different, and I have not been to any other countries, so I can't concretely say about them. So I will say that I love taking pictures in my own country. There are different tapestry here, different variations here and I love them all.

× Whenever I am on a journey and I look through window lookout through window I see different landscapes changing, I see trees.
✓ Whenever I am on a journey and I look out of the window, I see different landscapes changing; I see trees.
The student used 'look through window' and duplicated 'lookout through window' incorrectly. Correct phrase is 'look out of the window' or 'look out the window'. Also punctuation and word order needed adjustment to make a clear sentence. Suggestion: use 'look out of the window' and separate the clauses with a comma or semicolon to improve clarity. Note: This correction addresses incorrect verb phrase/phrase usage and sentence structure (present participle phrasing and redundancy).
× I love them and after taking these pictures I love to share them with my friends in a shared folder.
✓ I love them, and after taking these pictures I like to share them with my friends in a shared folder.
The phrase 'love to share' is acceptable, but 'love them, and after taking these pictures I like to share them' improves register and avoids repetition of 'love'. The main issue was stylistic redundancy rather than a strict grammar category; adjusting maintains present-tense habitual action. Suggestion: vary verbs to avoid repetition and ensure comma before coordinating conjunction linking independent clauses.
× The landscape is changing constantly, unlike city spaces or urban areas where the landscape is more or less same.
✓ The landscape changes constantly, unlike city spaces or urban areas where the landscape is more or less the same.
Use simple present 'changes' for habitual actions rather than progressive 'is changing' when speaking generally. Also 'the same' requires the definite article 'the'. Suggestion: use simple present for general truths and include 'the' before 'same'.
× I prefer to take pictures of trees and different animals, birds or anything.
✓ I prefer to take pictures of trees, various animals and birds, or anything interesting.
Use 'various' rather than 'different' for listing categories; include commas for clarity and 'anything interesting' sounds natural. The original 'different animals, birds or anything' was awkward and needed clearer quantifier and punctuation. Suggestion: use parallel structure when listing items and a qualifier like 'interesting' to complete 'anything'.
× I assume that views in different countries are different, and I have not been to any other countries, so I can't concretely say about them.
✓ I assume that views in different countries are different, and I have not been to any other country, so I can't say anything concrete about them.
Use singular 'country' after 'any other' when referring to 'not been to any other country' and rephrase 'can't concretely say about them' to 'can't say anything concrete about them' for natural English. Also keep consistent present perfect 'have not been'. Suggestion: use 'any other country' and the idiomatic phrase 'say anything concrete'.
× There are different tapestry here, different variations here and I love them all.
✓ There is different tapestry here, different variations here, and I love them all.
The noun 'tapestry' as uncountable can take singular verb 'is' but 'different variations' is plural; original used 'are' with 'tapestry' incorrectly. Better: 'There is different tapestry here' or 'There are different tapestries here.' Suggestion: choose countable plural 'tapestries' with 'are' or keep uncountable 'tapestry' with 'is' for correct subject-verb agreement.
