× Seeing green forest, lakes and other natural landscapes makes me feel refreshed and helps the journey pass more quickly.
✓ Seeing green forests, lakes and other natural landscapes makes me feel refreshed and helps the journey pass more quickly.
The sentence uses 'forest' in singular while referring to multiple types of scenery; this is a plural/singular noun issue but fits best under 'Verb + -ing form' because the gerund 'Seeing' correctly functions as a subject. Correction changes 'forest' to 'forests' to agree with 'lakes' and 'landscapes'. Improve by ensuring parallel nouns use correct plural forms: 'green forests, lakes and other natural landscapes'.
× Yes, I do take photos of the scenery outside the car window.
✓ Yes, I do take photos of the scenery outside the car windows.
The original sentence is understandable but 'the car window' suggests a single window; when referring to scenery seen from inside vehicles in general, plural 'car windows' is more natural. This is a minor noun number choice; ensure consistency and naturalness by using plural when speaking generally.
× I love to capture the moment where I go to travel different places because every time I see those pictures remind me of the beautiful memories that I have created before with my friends and families.
✓ I love capturing moments when I travel to different places because every time I see those pictures, they remind me of the beautiful memories I created with my friends and family.
Multiple issues: 'capture the moment where I go to travel' is awkward; use 'capturing moments when I travel'. 'Every time I see those pictures remind me' is a run-on lacking a subject for 'remind'—add 'they'. 'Have created before' is unnecessary; simple past 'created' is better. 'Families' should be singular 'family' when referring to one's group of relatives. Improve by simplifying clauses: 'I love capturing moments when I travel to different places because they remind me of the beautiful memories I created with my friends and family.'
× So that's the reason I love the most to take.
✓ So that's the reason I love taking photos the most.
The original sentence lacks a clear object and has incorrect word order. Rephrase to put the verb phrase 'love taking photos' together and place 'the most' after the verb phrase or before the object for natural word order. Suggestion: 'I love taking photos the most.'
× Honestly, I have never been on the mountains or the sea but in future I would like to go to the sea because I love the water.
✓ Honestly, I have never been to the mountains or the sea, but in the future I would like to go to the sea because I love the water.
Use 'been to' rather than 'been on' for visiting places. Add 'the' before 'future' to form the phrase 'in the future'. Add a comma before 'but' to separate clauses. These adjustments correct preposition and article usage and improve fluency.
× I love the bluish that cherries my mind.
✓ I love the bluish color because it cheers my mind.
The phrase 'the bluish that cherries my mind' is ungrammatical: 'bluish' is an adjective and needs a noun like 'color'. 'Cherries' is the wrong verb and form; the intended verb is 'cheer' (present singular 'cheers' with 'it'). Replace with 'it cheers my mind' or 'because it cheers me up'. Improve by using correct noun forms and verbs: 'the bluish color cheers my mind.'
× I love this watch sky from the boat or.
✓ I love watching the sky from a boat.
The original contains multiple errors: 'watch' should be the gerund 'watching'; 'this watch sky' is incorrect noun usage; 'from the boat or' is incomplete. Rephrase concisely: 'I love watching the sky from a boat.' Use gerund after 'love' and choose appropriate articles ('a boat') when speaking generally.
