× Of course, yes, I always look out the window at the scenario when I traveling by bus or by car and I really enjoy to do a sightseeing in other countries when I was traveling so I can get it that.
✓ Of course, yes, I always look out the window at the scenery when I am traveling by bus or by car, and I really enjoy sightseeing in other countries when I travel so I can see it.
Errors: 'traveling' in this context requires the present continuous form 'am traveling' for 'I' (present participle with auxiliary). 'to do a sightseeing' is incorrect: 'sightseeing' is a gerund; use 'enjoy sightseeing' not 'enjoy to do a sightseeing'. 'scenario' is wrong choice; use 'scenery'. 'when I was traveling' mixes past tense with general habit; use simple present 'when I travel'. Suggestions: use 'am traveling' for ongoing action or 'when I travel' for habitual actions; replace 'to do a sightseeing' with 'sightseeing' and 'scenario' with 'scenery'.
× No, I don't really mind to take a photos of the second area outside the car window and I prefer to do a video because if I was photo that situation it can be bluer so I prefer to take a video of it.
✓ No, I don't really mind taking photos of the scenery outside the car window, and I prefer to record a video because if I took photos of that situation they can be blurry, so I prefer to take a video of it.
Errors: 'to take a photos' mixes 'to' with plural noun; correct form is 'taking photos' (gerund + plural noun) or 'to take a photo' (singular). 'second area' is unclear; use 'scenery'. 'do a video' is incorrect; use 'record a video' or 'make a video'. 'if I was photo' is wrong tense and form; use 'if I took photos'. 'bluer' is incorrect comparative; use 'blurry'. Suggestions: use gerund after 'mind' ('mind taking'), match article and count ('a photo' vs 'photos'), use proper verb for creating video ('record'), and use past tense for hypothetical condition ('if I took photos').
× I prefer sea than the mountains because I really love a sunset and I love, like to play with a sun.
✓ I prefer the sea to the mountains because I really love a sunset and I like to play in the sun.
Errors: 'prefer sea than' uses wrong preposition; correct pattern is 'prefer A to B'. Missing definite article before 'sea' and 'mountains' in this general preference; use 'the sea' and 'the mountains'. 'I love, like to play with a sun' is ungrammatical: use 'I like to play in the sun' or 'I love the sun'. Suggestions: use 'prefer A to B', include 'the' for general nouns like 'the sea', and use 'play in the sun'.
× I prefer sea than a mountain because mountain, uh, in my eyes, that's it, uh, hectic traveling and I don't like hectic traveling.
✓ I prefer the sea to the mountains because mountains, in my eyes, mean hectic travel, and I don't like hectic travel.
Errors: again 'prefer sea than' should be 'prefer the sea to the mountains'. 'a mountain' vs 'mountain' inconsistent; use plural 'mountains' or 'a mountain' consistently. 'mountain, uh, in my eyes, that's it' is disfluent and ungrammatical; rephrase to 'mountains, in my eyes, mean hectic travel'. 'hectic traveling' is awkward; use 'hectic travel' or 'hectic trips'. Suggestions: use consistent noun forms, correct 'prefer A to B', and use 'travel' or 'trips' rather than 'traveling' as a noun.
