× I had a great time with my brother tasting delicious food, taking a few pictures of other animals we sell, and we shared our salt and opinion.
✓ I had a great time with my brother tasting delicious food, taking a few pictures of other animals we saw, and sharing our salt and opinion.
The verb 'sell' is incorrect in this context; the correct past participle is 'saw' to indicate observing animals. Also, to maintain parallel structure, 'we shared' should be changed to 'sharing' to match the gerund forms 'tasting' and 'taking'.
× Moreover, hallway holidays gives me a chance to pursue my hobbies such as rowing, pictures and photography, which helps me to relax and express my myself.
✓ Moreover, holidays give me a chance to pursue my hobbies such as rowing, pictures and photography, which help me to relax and express myself.
The word 'hallway' is incorrect; it should be 'holidays'. Also, 'gives' should be 'give' to agree with plural 'holidays'. The phrase 'express my myself' contains a redundant pronoun; 'myself' alone is correct. Additionally, 'helps' should be 'help' to agree with plural subject 'hobbies'.
× It was relaxing and memorable holiday for us.
✓ It was a relaxing and memorable holiday for us.
The sentence is missing the indefinite article 'a' before the singular countable noun 'holiday'. Articles are necessary to specify nouns correctly.
× I prefer calm and comfortable environment.
✓ I prefer a calm and comfortable environment.
The sentence is missing the indefinite article 'a' before the singular countable noun 'environment'. Articles are a type of prepositional usage that specify nouns.
× During this time, people gather with their families and friends to celebrate new new beginnings.
✓ During this time, people gather with their families and friends to celebrate new beginnings.
The phrase 'new new beginnings' contains a repeated word 'new'. Removing the duplicate corrects the plural noun phrase.
× Moreover, people go to religious and sacred places like Shrine.
✓ Moreover, people go to religious and sacred places like shrines.
The noun 'Shrine' should be pluralized to 'shrines' to match the general reference to multiple places. Also, 'Shrine' should not be capitalized unless it is a proper noun.
× I prefer our luxury holiday rather than a busy one because I enjoy spending time indoors.
✓ I prefer a leisurely holiday rather than a busy one because I enjoy spending time indoors.
The phrase 'our luxury holiday' is incorrect in this context; it should be 'a leisurely holiday' to contrast with 'a busy one'. 'Luxury' is an adjective but 'leisurely' better fits the meaning of a relaxed holiday.
× Usually I spend a lot of time pursuing my hobbies such as drawing pictures and photography which helps me to refresh and relaxed especially after long and busy day.
✓ Usually, I spend a lot of time pursuing my hobbies such as drawing pictures and photography, which help me to refresh and relax, especially after a long and busy day.
Commas are needed after introductory adverb 'Usually' and before 'which'. 'Helps' should be 'help' to agree with plural subject 'hobbies'. The verbs 'refresh' and 'relaxed' should be parallel in form; 'relaxed' should be 'relax'. Also, 'a' is needed before 'long and busy day'.
