× Yes, I think so umm, taking pictures can make me feel happy, but uh, exactly, I'm not good at taking photos or taking pictures so umm, I'd more like to say I like to umm, look at pictures. Enjoy it.
✓ Yes, I think so. Taking pictures can make me feel happy, but I'm not good at taking photos, so I'd rather say I like to look at pictures and enjoy them.
Incorrect use of verb + -ing forms and sentence fragments. 'I'd more like to say' is awkward; use 'I'd rather say'. 'Enjoy it' is a fragment and unclear; use 'enjoy them' to refer to pictures. Combine clauses and use consistent gerund/infinitive forms: 'like to look' or 'like looking'. Advice: Use 'I'd rather' for preferences, avoid short fragments, and ensure pronoun agreement with plural nouns (them for pictures).
× Definitely the rural areas because as myself I living in urban city every day, so I'd like to see more different things like the grass or like the mountain, like the very blue sky or the starry sky.
✓ Definitely rural areas because I live in an urban city every day, so I'd like to see more different things like grass, mountains, a very blue sky, or a starry sky.
Present tense and subject phrasing errors: 'as myself I living' is ungrammatical; correct present simple is 'I live'. Also article and plural issues fixed: 'the rural areas' -> 'rural areas' (fine either way), 'the grass' -> 'grass', 'the mountain' -> 'mountains'. Advice: Use simple present 'I live' for habitual actions and match singular/plural nouns appropriately. Remove unnecessary fillers like 'as myself'.
× An impression stage. I prefer you. I prefer view in my own country because my own country is so big and it has many different views, like the mountains or like the river or sea. But in the future I'd like to.
✓ I prefer views in my own country because it is very big and has many different landscapes, like mountains, rivers, or the sea. In the future I'd like to visit other countries as well.
Several sentence structure and meaning problems: 'An impression stage' and 'I prefer you' are unclear and unrelated; removed and replaced with coherent statements. 'I prefer view in my own country' needs plural and article: 'views in my own country'. 'the river or sea' should be 'rivers or the sea'. The final fragment 'But in the future I'd like to.' is incomplete; specify 'visit other countries as well'. Advice: Ensure each sentence has a clear subject and verb, avoid unrelated fragments, and complete thoughts. Use plural forms for general categories (views, mountains) and add verbs to finish sentences.
