× I really like to take a picture of the views because I think the photo is very important to record, like memories.
✓ I really like taking pictures of views because I think photos are very important for recording memories.
Use of verb + -ing after 'like': when expressing preferences, 'like' can be followed by a gerund (taking) rather than an infinitive with 'to' (to take) for general habits. Also plural forms: 'pictures' and 'photos' are more natural for general statements. Use 'for recording memories' to show purpose and remove the awkward 'like memories.'
× So I really like to memory something.
✓ So I really like to remember things.
'Memory' is a noun, not a verb. The correct verb is 'remember.' Use 'things' (or 'memories') as the object. 'I like to remember things' or 'I like to keep memories' are correct alternatives.
× So I often take a picture.
✓ So I often take pictures.
Use plural 'pictures' for habitual actions and more natural phrasing. The singular 'a picture' is possible but in this context 'pictures' fits the general habit better.
× I prefer to. I prefer the views of urban areas because I really like the city.
✓ I prefer the views of urban areas because I really like the city.
The fragment 'I prefer to.' is incomplete and unnecessary. Remove it to make a single clear sentence. This fixes sentence structure errors and redundancy.
× So the city gives me more active and energetic, so I prefer the urban areas.
✓ The city makes me feel more active and energetic, so I prefer urban areas.
'Gives me more active and energetic' is ungrammatical because adjectives need a verb like 'make' plus 'feel' when describing emotions or states. Also remove the extra definite article before 'urban areas' and avoid repeating 'so.'
× I prefer the views from the other country because in my country I always look at it.
✓ I prefer the views of other countries because in my country I always see the same things.
'From the other country' is awkward; 'of other countries' is more natural when speaking generally. 'Look at it' is awkward for experiences of scenery; 'see the same things' or 'see them often' is clearer. Also plural 'countries' fits general preference.
× I live in here so it's quite boring to me, so I really like to see the views of other countries.
✓ I live here, so it feels quite boring to me, and I really like seeing the views of other countries.
Do not use 'in here'; use 'here.' 'It's quite boring to me' is grammatical but 'it feels quite boring to me' is more natural. Use gerund 'seeing' after 'like' when describing a preference. Replace the repeated 'so' with 'and' for smoother connection.
