× Yes uh, I'm usually taking picture of the scenery of landscapes because, uh, because these views are making me to take the picture of it and I'm really enjoy it and, uh, it's really a atmosphere.
✓ Yes, I usually take pictures of landscapes because these views make me want to photograph them, and I really enjoy it; they create a special atmosphere.
Errors: incorrect continuous form 'I'm usually taking' (use simple present for habitual actions - Grammar Problem Type 8), wrong noun number 'picture' should be plural 'pictures' (singular/plural issue - ID 1), unnecessary 'making me to take' (use 'make me want to' — 'make' + object + bare infinitive or 'want to'), 'I'm really enjoy it' uses auxiliary 'am' incorrectly with main verb (should be 'I really enjoy it' — present simple for habitual likes), and 'a atmosphere' wrong article before vowel sound and countable noun (should be 'an atmosphere' or better 'they create a special atmosphere' to sound natural — article error ID 22). Suggestion: use simple present for habits, pluralize countable nouns when appropriate, use 'make' + object + bare infinitive or 'make ... want to', remove unnecessary auxiliaries, and choose correct articles.
× Umm, I'm usually prefer reviews in urban areas because there are a lot of the buildings that are light.
✓ I usually prefer views in urban areas because there are a lot of buildings that are well lit.
Errors: 'I'm usually prefer' mixes present continuous with a stative verb; use simple present 'I usually prefer' (present tense issue - ID 6). 'reviews' is wrong word; should be 'views' (word choice but treated here as incorrect word). 'a lot of the buildings' uses unnecessary definite article 'the' and count noun article misuse (article errors - ID 22). 'that are light' is unnatural; use 'well lit' or 'lighting' to describe illuminated buildings (incorrect adjective/adverb use - ID 13). Suggestion: use simple present for preferences, remove unnecessary 'the' before plural 'buildings', and use appropriate adjectives ('well lit').
× They are light and real estate Hicks also have some some specific atmosphere that is really fascinating.
✓ They are well lit, and the real estate areas also have a specific atmosphere that is really fascinating.
Errors: 'They are light' incorrectly uses 'light' as adjective for illuminated buildings; use 'well lit' (adjective issue - ID 13). 'real estate Hicks' is unclear; likely 'real estate areas' or 'housing estates' — incorrect noun choice/word form (sentence structure/word error - ID 26). Repeating 'some some' is redundant. Missing article before 'real estate areas' required 'the' if referring to particular ones; include for clarity (article error - ID 22). Suggestion: replace with 'well lit' to describe illumination, correct noun phrase to 'real estate areas' or 'housing developments', remove duplicates, and add articles as needed.
× Yeah, especially I prefer you, uh, I would like, umm, views in my own country because Kelvin has a really incredible atmosphere, has a group of, uh, natural environment and they're really fascinating and, uh, and incredible that catch everyone's heart.
✓ Yes, I especially prefer views in my own country because Kelvin has an incredible atmosphere, a variety of natural environments that are fascinating and that capture everyone's heart.
Errors: 'I prefer you' is incorrect pronoun or filler; should be 'I especially prefer' (pronoun misuse - ID 12 and present tense issue - ID 6). Mixing 'I prefer' and 'I would like' is unnecessary; use simple present for preference. 'has a group of natural environment' is ungrammatical: use 'a variety of natural environments' (singular/plural issue - ID 1 and noun phrase structure - ID 26). 'they're really fascinating and incredible that catch everyone's heart' has incorrect relative clause; better 'that are fascinating and capture everyone's heart' (incorrect relative clause and verb form). Suggestion: use simple present to state preferences, choose correct noun phrases 'a variety of natural environments', ensure subject-verb agreement and use 'that' clauses properly.
