× Yes, I usually look out at the window at the scenery while traveling by bus or car because doing that that activity, it would allow me to feel refreshed and relaxed after my busy class.
✓ Yes, I usually look out of the window at the scenery while traveling by bus or car because doing that activity allows me to feel refreshed and relaxed after my busy classes.
Error: unnecessary gerund phrasing and agreement with subject. 'Doing that that activity' is redundant and awkward; 'doing that activity' or better 'doing so' is sufficient. 'It would allow me' is conditional and unnecessary; use simple present 'allows' to match habitual action. Use 'look out of the window' (common preposition) and pluralize 'class' to 'classes' if referring to multiple busy periods. Suggestion: simplify the sentence, use simple present for habitual actions, remove redundancy and ensure subject-verb agreement.
× Additionally, it's a great opportunity to relax with the fresh air and absorb the wind with blow through my face.
✓ Additionally, it's a great opportunity to relax in the fresh air and feel the wind blowing on my face.
Errors: incorrect prepositions and wrong verb forms. Use 'relax in the fresh air' (not 'with the fresh air'). 'Absorb the wind with blow through my face' is ungrammatical; use 'feel the wind blowing on my face'. 'Blow' must be the participle 'blowing' and preposition 'on' is correct for contact with the face. Suggestion: use 'feel' + present participle for sensations and correct prepositions.
× So that's actually so.
✓ So that's actually true.
Error: meaningless repetition 'actually so' is ungrammatical. Replace with a concise predicate like 'true' or 'the case' to complete the sentence properly. Suggestion: use clear expressions such as 'That's true' or 'That's why' depending on intended meaning.
× Well, I didn't prefer to take photo of the scenery outside the car window because it sometime may be unsafe.
✓ Well, I don't prefer to take photos of the scenery outside the car window because it can sometimes be unsafe.
Errors: Wrong tense and number. 'Didn't prefer' suggests a past habit; the question asks about general preference, so use present 'don't prefer'. 'Take photo' needs plural 'photos' or 'take a photo'. 'Sometime' should be 'sometimes'. 'May be unsafe' is acceptable but 'can sometimes be unsafe' is more natural. Suggestion: use present simple for general preferences, correct noun number, and use 'sometimes' for frequency adverb placement.
× For example, it would be excess a lot of the same who are always trying to steal our phone.
✓ For example, there are a lot of people who are always trying to steal phones.
Errors: incorrect word choice and quantifier use. 'It would be excess a lot of the same' is meaningless. Use 'there are a lot of people' to express existence of many potential thieves. Use plural 'phones' or 'our phones' as appropriate. Suggestion: use 'there are' for existence and 'a lot of people' for quantifying people.
× They want to rob something like something valuable from the.
✓ They want to steal something valuable from you.
Errors: sentence incomplete and awkward phrasing. 'Rob' is usually used with a place or person ('rob someone'), but 'steal' fits better for taking a phone. 'Something like something valuable' is redundant; use 'something valuable'. The final 'from the' is incomplete; supply the object 'you' or 'people'. Suggestion: choose the verb that matches the object and complete the prepositional phrase.
× Well, I prefer the sea because the sea would be a place where I can actually relax and really stress.
✓ Well, I prefer the sea because it is a place where I can actually relax and relieve stress.
Errors: tense/modal misuse and word choice. 'Would be' is conditional and unnecessary for a general preference; use simple present 'is'. 'Really stress' is incorrect; use 'relieve stress' or 'de-stress'. Suggestion: use present tense for general truths and correct collocations like 'relieve stress'.
× For example, I can actually see the sunrise, the sunset, goes swimming, play with the sun.
✓ For example, I can actually see the sunrise and the sunset, go swimming, and enjoy the sun.
Errors: incorrect verb forms and coordination. After 'I can', use base verbs: 'go swimming' and 'play with the sun' is odd; use 'enjoy the sun'. Ensure parallel structure with commas and 'and'. Suggestion: keep verbs in their base form after modal verbs and use natural collocations.
× And additionally, yeah, go fishing in the sea would be an interesting activity that I really.
✓ Additionally, going fishing in the sea would be an interesting activity that I would really enjoy.
Errors: incorrect verb form and incomplete sentence. If using 'would be', use the gerund 'going' as the subject. The sentence ends incomplete; add 'enjoy' to finish the thought. Suggestion: use gerund when the verb phrase functions as a noun and complete the clause with an appropriate verb like 'enjoy'.
