× When I travel in different country, I enjoy watch outside the window when I was in transportation because I like the people doing things in their daily lives and admire the unique buildings in foreign country.
✓ When I travel to different countries, I enjoy watching out of the window while I am travelling because I like seeing people doing things in their daily lives and admiring the unique buildings in foreign countries.
Errors: incorrect prepositions 'in different country' and 'in foreign country' should be 'to different countries' and 'in foreign countries'; 'watch outside the window' needs verb+ -ing form 'watching out of the window' (Verb + -ing form, ID 8); tense mismatch 'when I was in transportation' should be present continuous or simple present for habitual actions 'while I am travelling' (Present tense issue, ID 6). Suggestions: use correct prepositions for movement and location ('travel to', 'in countries'), use gerund after 'enjoy' ('enjoy watching'), and use consistent present tense for habitual actions ('while I am travelling' or 'when I travel').
× Yes, I do take photos when I start a beautiful view in the car because I think recording my trip is enjoyable for me and let me memorize and memorize the important moment in my experience.
✓ Yes, I take photos when I see a beautiful view from the car because I think recording my trip is enjoyable and helps me remember important moments from my experience.
Errors: 'do take' is unnecessary emphatic use here; 'start a beautiful view' is incorrect verb choice and verb form — use 'see a beautiful view' (Sentence structure error, ID 26); 'in the car' should be 'from the car' (preposition error, ID 11); 'let me memorize and memorize' is ungrammatical and repetitive — use 'helps me remember' (incorrect verb form 'memorize' and sentence structure). Also 'is enjoyable for me' is wordy; 'is enjoyable' suffices. Suggestions: use simple present for habitual actions ('I take photos'), use 'see' for perceiving views, use correct preposition 'from the car', avoid repetition and use 'helps me remember' for purpose/result.
× I prefer mountains because I can not only recall the beautiful things along the mountain routes, but also watch the beautiful city views when I climb onto the peak of the mountain.
✓ I prefer the mountains because I can not only recall the beautiful sights along mountain routes, but also see beautiful city views when I climb to the peak of a mountain.
Errors: missing definite article before a general preference 'I prefer the mountains' (Article error, ID 22); 'watch' is wrong verb here — use 'see' for views (Incorrect use of verbs but classified under sentence structure/word choice, ID 26); 'the peak of the mountain' can be generic 'the peak of a mountain' or 'a mountain' to match general statement; 'beautiful things' is vague — 'beautiful sights' is more natural. Suggestions: include articles as needed ('the mountains'), use 'see' rather than 'watch' for scenery, choose plural or indefinite article consistently ('a mountain' or 'mountain routes').
