× Yes, when I was child, I have in, I travel by you, uh, by bus and I have interest to see the, uh, view around the around, uh, around me and see a lot of things.
✓ Yes, when I was a child, I used to travel by bus and I was interested in seeing the view around me and seeing many things.
Original contains tense inconsistencies and incorrect verb forms: 'when I was child' needs the article 'a'; 'I have in, I travel by you' is garbled and should be 'I used to travel by bus' to indicate past habitual action; 'I have interest to see' should be 'I was interested in seeing' using correct adjective + preposition and gerund. Suggestion: use 'used to' for past habits, include articles, and use 'interested in' + verb-ing.
× Uh, yes, definitely. I take a lot of, take a lot of pics of the sceneries outside the car window, uh, because I want to catch up a memory for one.
✓ Yes, definitely. I take a lot of photos of the scenery outside the car window because I want to capture memories.
Problems: 'pics' is informal—use 'photos'; 'sceneries' is uncountable here—use 'scenery'; 'catch up a memory' is incorrect collocation—use 'capture memories'. Tense 'I take' is acceptable for habitual present. Suggestion: use correct nouns and collocations and avoid slang in formal responses.
× I was, uh, when I was become a adult and I want to see how I enjoy my memorable time.
✓ I was, uh, when I became an adult I wanted to look back and see how I had enjoyed those memorable times.
Issues: 'when I was become a adult' mixes auxiliary with past participle—should be 'when I became an adult'; tense sequence: looking back requires past perfect 'had enjoyed' to show an earlier past. Also 'an' article before 'adult'. Suggestion: use 'became' for past change of state and past perfect for earlier actions when reflecting.
× Well, I prefer the mountains because I find there are fresh air and a peaceful atmosphere, moreover less than the busy and wise beach.
✓ Well, I prefer the mountains because I find there is fresh air and a peaceful atmosphere; they are quieter than the busy beach.
Errors: 'there are fresh air'—'air' is uncountable and takes singular verb 'is'; 'moreover less than the busy and wise beach' is ungrammatical and 'wise' is incorrect word choice. Use comparative 'quieter than' and plural reference 'they' for mountains. Suggestion: treat uncountable nouns properly, use suitable adjectives and clear comparative structure.
× For example, hiking in the hills help me, uh, unwind and gives me a great view for photographs, which I really enjoy.
✓ For example, hiking in the hills helps me unwind and gives me a great view for photographs, which I really enjoy.
Subject-verb agreement error with present tense: 'hiking' as a singular gerund subject requires 'helps' not 'help'; 'unwind and gives' should parallel 'helps' and 'gives' is correct after subject. Suggestion: ensure the verb agrees with the gerund subject; maintain parallel structure for coordinated verbs.
