× Yes, I do really and I really enjoy it.
✓ Yes, I really do, and I really enjoy it.
The original sentence places the adverb 'really' awkwardly after 'do'. Moving 'really' before 'do' or pairing it correctly with 'do' clarifies emphasis and follows normal English adverb placement.
× So every time I'm traveling by bus or by plane, I really like to, even when I'm paying, I, I, when I'm getting, I'm paying new ticket, I really try to get uh, a place which is near to the window where I can watch, uh, the nature and I really enjoy it.
✓ So every time I travel by bus or by plane, even when I'm buying a new ticket, I try to get a seat near the window where I can watch the scenery, and I really enjoy it.
Use simple present 'I travel' for habitual actions rather than 'I'm traveling'. 'Paying' is incorrect here; 'buying a new ticket' or 'getting a new ticket' is appropriate. 'A place which is near to the window' should be 'a seat near the window'. 'The nature' is unnatural; use 'the scenery'. Remove filler words and repetitions to make the sentence clear.
× Yes, absolutely. I do so even when I'm traveling to the long journey.
✓ Yes, absolutely. I do so even on long journeys.
Use 'on long journeys' for habitual trips; 'traveling to the long journey' is ungrammatical. 'Journey' is a countable noun, so use plural or an article if singular. 'On' is the correct preposition for journeys.
× So if I see the the nature which really come to my eyes very good.
✓ So if I see scenery that really pleases my eyes.
Do not use 'the the'. 'Nature' is too general here; 'scenery' fits viewing from a vehicle. 'Which really come to my eyes very good' is ungrammatical: use a relative clause 'that really pleases my eyes' or simpler 'that I find beautiful'. Also correct verb agreement and adjective use.
× I really like take a picture and have a memory.
✓ I really like to take a picture and keep a memory.
After 'like' use either 'to take' or 'taking'. 'Have a memory' is awkward; 'keep a memory' or 'have a memento' is better. Maintain parallel structure with infinitive forms.
× So especially when I'm traveling to the sunrise and the time of sunrise and sun downs at that time I really like to take.
✓ Especially at sunrise and sunset, I really like to take pictures.
'Traveling to the sunrise' and 'sun downs' are incorrect. Use time expressions 'at sunrise and sunset'. Ensure the verb 'take' has an object: 'take pictures'. Simplify phrasing for clarity.
× I do like both of them, but if I have to chase one of them, I will say see because, uh, especially in the summer, I really like to go in the sea and swim there because, uh, one of the best skills is swimming.
✓ I like both, but if I have to choose one, I would say the sea because especially in summer I like to go into the sea and swim; swimming is one of my best skills.
'Chase' is the wrong verb; use 'choose'. 'See' is a misspelling of 'sea' in context. Use 'go into the sea' rather than 'go in the sea'. Improve clause connections and eliminate filler words. 'One of the best skills is swimming' is awkward; rephrase to 'swimming is one of my best skills' and keep tense/modal consistency.
× So on, on that I really like to sit down, uh, near to the coast and watch the sea.
✓ So because of that I really like to sit down near the coast and watch the sea.
'On that' is incorrect; use 'because of that' or 'for that reason'. 'Near to the coast' is nonstandard in this context; 'near the coast' is preferred. Remove fillers and repetition for clarity.
