× scenery is always changing
✓ the scenery is always changing
The noun 'scenery' here refers to a specific set of views seen from the window, so it is natural to use the definite article 'the' before it. In English, 'scenery' is an uncountable noun and commonly takes 'the' when referring to particular scenery. Suggestion: use 'the scenery' when pointing to the views you are observing.
× I sometimes take photos from the car window.
✓ I sometimes take photos from the car window.
This sentence is grammatically correct and matches the present habitual meaning; no change is necessary. Keep as is.
× It depends on the weather and the landscape.
✓ It depends on the weather and the landscape.
This sentence is correct. 'Depends' agrees with the subject 'It' and the structure is appropriate. No correction needed.
× if I'm driving near the seaside and the light is good, I would take pictures to keep the memory of the wheel.
✓ if I'm driving near the seaside and the light is good, I will take pictures to keep a memory of the view.
The conditional 'if' clause uses present continuous 'I'm driving', so the result clause should use 'will' for a real future condition rather than 'would' which suggests an unreal or hypothetical situation. Also 'memory of the wheel' is incorrect collocation; use 'a memory of the view' or 'a memory of the scene'. Suggestion: use 'will take' and replace 'the wheel' with 'the view'.
× I prefer to see because I grew up near the beach, so I've always enjoyed seaside activities.
✓ I prefer the sea because I grew up near the beach, so I've always enjoyed seaside activities.
The phrase 'prefer to see' is ungrammatical here. The preference should be for a noun: 'I prefer the sea' or 'I prefer the seaside'. 'See' is a verb and does not fit. Change to 'the sea' to express preference. Keep tense consistency: 'I grew up' (past) and 'I've always enjoyed' (present perfect) are acceptable together when linking past background to ongoing experience.
× For example, I often went swimming and I like walking or jogging along the coast in the morning or in the evening because the fresh air is always relaxing and you can stay calm.
✓ For example, I often went swimming, and I like walking or jogging along the coast in the morning or in the evening because the fresh air is always relaxing and helps me stay calm.
The sentence mixes past tense 'I often went swimming' with present tense 'I like walking'. This is acceptable if contrasting past habits with current habits, but clarity improves by adding a comma and 'helps me stay calm' instead of 'you can stay calm' to keep the sentence about the speaker. Suggestion: keep tense consistent for the idea being expressed and use the first person 'helps me stay calm' for cohesion.
