No, I don't like to live in tall buildings because I live in Taiwan and there's a lot of earthquakes happen here.

It is more warms and I feel better that living here and and more enjoyable.

× Nose and the regions in my home is only like 4 floors highs and then not a lot of tall buildings so I can enjoy the sunshine and enjoy the wind in around my uh space.
✓ Noes and the areas around my home are only about four floors high, and there are not many tall buildings, so I can enjoy the sunshine and the breeze around my space.
Multiple sentence structure issues: subject unclear ('Nose' likely 'No' or 'Now' or 'Nearby areas'), plural/singular agreement ('regions... is' should be 'areas... are'), number expression ('4 floors highs' -> 'four floors high'), missing articles and prepositions ('in around' -> 'around'). Suggestion: identify the intended subject, use consistent plural nouns with matching verb forms, write numbers in words for small numbers, and use correct prepositions (around, in).
× I really like the place I'm living.
✓ I really like the place where I'm living.
Missing relative word or preposition to link clauses. 'The place I'm living' is informal; adding 'where' clarifies the relationship. Suggestion: use 'where' after 'place' when describing location: 'the place where I live' or 'the place I'm living in.'
× Yes, I sometimes photograph special building, especially concert hall and theaters.
✓ Yes, I sometimes photograph special buildings, especially concert halls and theaters.
Countable nouns require plural forms when speaking generally. 'Building' and 'concert hall' should be plural to match 'sometimes' and general statements. Suggestion: make countable nouns plural for general habits: 'photograph special buildings' and 'especially concert halls and theaters.'
× I enjoy taking pictures of unique or unusual architecture because those places give me a fresh experience and make my photos more interesting.
✓ I enjoy taking pictures of unique or unusual architecture because those buildings give me a fresh experience and make my photos more interesting.
The word 'places' is not wrong grammatically but 'architecture' is non-count and does not match 'those places' as clearly as 'those buildings.' This is a clarity/word choice issue rather than grammar. Suggestion: use consistent references: 'architecture' -> 'buildings' or rephrase 'those buildings' for clarity.
× I super enjoy the times and watching at them and just feeling good.
✓ I really enjoy those moments, watching them, and just feeling good.
Colloquial 'super enjoy' is informal; 'the times' is vague; 'watching at them' uses incorrect preposition. Sentence needs clearer parallel structure. Suggestion: use 'really enjoy' and parallel gerunds: 'enjoy watching them' and remove incorrect prepositions.
× Yeah, actually I really want to visit the most famous building like Taipei 101.
✓ Yeah, actually I really want to visit the most famous building, like Taipei 101.
Missing comma before example. Also 'the most famous building like Taipei 101' could imply Taipei 101 is one example; add comma to indicate example. Suggestion: use a comma before 'like' when giving an example: 'the most famous building, like Taipei 101.'
× Actually, I live in Taipei for more than seven years, but I haven't been to the top of it to view the entire city scheme.
✓ Actually, I have lived in Taipei for more than seven years, but I haven't been to the top of it to view the entire city's layout.
When expressing an action that began in the past and continues to the present, use present perfect ('have lived'). Also 'city scheme' is unnatural; 'city's layout' or 'the entire city' is clearer. Suggestion: use present perfect for duration: 'have lived in Taipei for more than seven years' and use 'layout' or 'panorama' for view descriptions.
× So I really want to be there and enjoy the environment and the view there.
✓ So I really want to go there and enjoy the environment and the view.
'Be there' is not wrong but 'go there' is more natural for visiting; redundancy of 'there' at end is avoidable. Suggestion: use 'go there' for visiting and avoid repeating 'there.'
× No, I don't like to live in tall buildings because I live in Taiwan and there's a lot of earthquakes happen here.
✓ No, I don't like living in tall buildings because I live in Taiwan and a lot of earthquakes happen here.
Use of 'there's' + plural noun is informal and can be ungrammatical; 'there are a lot of earthquakes' or 'a lot of earthquakes happen here' is correct. Also 'don't like to live' is less natural than 'don't like living.' Suggestion: use 'I don't like living in tall buildings' and 'a lot of earthquakes happen here' or 'there are many earthquakes here.'
× So if you live in a tall building, it will be really scary when there's a big earthquake.
✓ So if you live in a tall building, it would be really scary when there's a big earthquake.
Mixing real condition with modal future 'will' is acceptable but using 'would' is more natural for expressing fear/hypothetical. Also 'there's' with 'a big earthquake' is okay. Suggestion: for hypothetical discomfort use 'would be.'
× So I prefer to live in a small houses.
✓ So I prefer to live in a small house.
Conflicting number: 'a' requires singular 'house' not plural 'houses.' Suggestion: match article and noun number: 'a small house' or 'small houses' without 'a.'
× It is more warms and I feel better that living here and and more enjoyable.
✓ It is warmer, and I feel better living here; it is more enjoyable.
'More warms' is incorrect comparative form; use 'warmer.' 'I feel better that living here' is ungrammatical; remove 'that' and use gerund 'living here.' Duplicate 'and' and awkward phrasing. Suggestion: use correct comparative 'warmer,' delete extra words, and split into clear clauses: 'it is warmer, and I feel better living here; it is more enjoyable.'
