Well yes, there are a few tall apartment towers near my home. They're about 10 minutes walk away and I can see them from my balcony and one of them has shops on the ground floor for example. I sometimes go to supermarket in that building at weekends.

So I usually take a few pictures when I travel or work around the city. And you know I want to be an architect in future so I have fascination in this.

Is there a building that you would like to visit?

Yeah, some places I want to visit, like I would like to visit Taj Mahal. It is very beautiful and it has an interesting history. Also, I want to visit the Eiffel Tower in Paris. I think it will be the greatest visit of my life. And for example, I want to see the whole beautiful experience.

Do you want to live in a tall building?

Well I actually wouldn't prefer to live in a very tall building. I feel like huger play and silent places and tall buildings can be noisy and crowded and they don't enjoy waiting for elevators for example. I prefer a small house near a mountain. I feel like it gives me mental peace and mental contentment I want.

× They're about 10 minutes walk away and I can see them from my balcony and one of them has shops on the ground floor for example.
✓ They're about a 10-minute walk away, and I can see them from my balcony; one of them has shops on the ground floor, for example.
Use 'a 10-minute walk' (hyphenated compound adjective with singular article) and add commas for clarity. '10 minutes walk' is ungrammatical; use 'a 10-minute walk' or 'ten minutes' walk'. Also separate clauses with appropriate punctuation to improve sentence structure.
× I sometimes go to supermarket in that building at weekends.
✓ I sometimes go to the supermarket in that building on weekends.
English requires the definite article 'the' before 'supermarket' when referring to a specific place. Use 'on weekends' (American) or 'at weekends' (British) consistently; here 'on weekends' is natural. Also include 'the' for specificity.
× I do take photos of buildings sometimes I find interesting and architecture and old houses worth photographing because they look beautiful and tell a story.
✓ I do take photos of buildings sometimes; I find interesting architecture and old houses worth photographing because they look beautiful and tell a story.
Run-on sentence: two independent ideas need separation (semicolon or period). Also reorder to 'interesting architecture' (adjective before noun) and remove extra 'and' before 'architecture'.
× And you know I want to be an architect in future so I have fascination in this.
✓ And you know I want to be an architect in the future, so I am fascinated by this.
Use 'in the future' or better 'in the future' with article 'the'. 'Have fascination in this' is incorrect; use 'be fascinated by' or 'have a fascination with' followed by the object. Also adjust tense to 'am fascinated' to express current state.
× Yeah, some places I want to visit, like I would like to visit Taj Mahal.
✓ Yeah, some places I want to visit, for example, I would like to visit the Taj Mahal.
Use definite article 'the' before 'Taj Mahal' in English. Also 'for example' fits better than 'like' when listing.
× I think it will be the greatest visit of my life.
✓ I think it will be the greatest visit of my life.
Sentence is grammatically acceptable, but 'visit' is awkward when referring to the experience; consider 'experience' instead: 'I think it will be the greatest experience of my life.' No strict correction required.
× And for example, I want to see the whole beautiful experience.
✓ For example, I want to experience the whole beauty of it.
Awkward phrasing 'see the whole beautiful experience' — better to say 'experience the whole beauty' or 'see the whole thing' depending on intended meaning. This clarifies noun usage and collocation.
× Well I actually wouldn't prefer to live in a very tall building.
✓ Well, I actually wouldn't prefer to live in a very tall building.
Comma after opener improves clarity. 'Wouldn't prefer' is slightly odd; native speakers say 'I wouldn't prefer to' or better 'I wouldn't want to live in a very tall building.' Not required by list but suggested improvement.
× I feel like huger play and silent places and tall buildings can be noisy and crowded and they don't enjoy waiting for elevators for example.
✓ I feel like huge, busy, and noisy places and tall buildings can be crowded, and I don't enjoy waiting for elevators, for example.
Original has wrong words: 'huger play and silent places' is meaningless. Likely intended 'huge, busy, and noisy places'. 'They don't enjoy' is incorrect pronoun for speaker; use 'I don't enjoy'. Use commas to separate adjectives and clauses.
× I prefer a small house near a mountain.
✓ I prefer a small house near a mountain.
This sentence is correct grammatically. No change needed.
× I feel like it gives me mental peace and mental contentment I want.
✓ I feel like it gives me the mental peace and contentment I want.
Include definite article 'the' before 'mental peace', remove repeated 'mental' before 'contentment', and reorder to 'contentment I want' with proper noun phrase. Adds natural phrasing.
