Ví dụ: Only occasionally. If the scenery impresses me, I'll take a photo, but usually I prefer to stop and photograph nature directly rather than through a car window. For instance, when I visit a beach I often get out and take close‑up shots.

× At this moment, uh, I thinking about my life, about my plans and future.
✓ At this moment, I am thinking about my life, about my plans and future.
The sentence is missing the auxiliary verb 'am' required for the present continuous tense (present participle form). Use subject + be + verb-ing: 'I am thinking'. Also remove filler sounds for clarity.
× If I see, uh, the scenario, which, uh, really impressed me, uh, I, uh, would do, uh, take a photo, uh, but uh, mostly I don't remember.
✓ If I see a scene that really impresses me, I would take a photo, but mostly I don't.
The original mixes tenses and incorrect forms: 'scenario' is better as 'scene' for scenery; 'which really impressed me' uses past participle incorrectly in a conditional about present/future — use present tense 'that really impresses me'. 'Would do take' is ungrammatical; use 'would take' or simply 'I take' depending on meaning. Also 'mostly I don't remember' is vague; 'mostly I don't' is clearer when referring to taking photos.
× I prefer to make pictures of the nature, not through the window of car, but when I'm.
✓ I prefer to take pictures of nature, not through a car window, but when I'm outside.
Problems: 'make pictures of the nature' is unnatural—use 'take pictures of nature'. 'the window of car' should be 'a car window'. The sentence ends incomplete 'but when I'm.' Complete with 'outside' to convey meaning. Overall fix improves word choice and sentence completion.
× I definitely prefer the sea. Uh, I love Baltic Sea in Latvia.
✓ I definitely prefer the sea. I love the Baltic Sea in Latvia.
Proper nouns for seas usually require the definite article 'the': 'the Baltic Sea'. Missing 'the' is an article error.
× Uh, when I come, uh, to Latvia, I usually spend lots of time at the seaside and, uh uh, watching this, uh, stunning sunsets, uh, and uh, feel this fresh air of the sea.
✓ When I come to Latvia, I usually spend a lot of time at the seaside, watching stunning sunsets and enjoying the fresh sea air.
Verb forms and parallel structure are incorrect: 'spend lots of time ... and watching' should be 'spend a lot of time ... watching' (participial clause). 'Watching this stunning sunsets' wrong article/number—use 'watching stunning sunsets'. 'and feel this fresh air of the sea' is awkward; use 'enjoying the fresh sea air'. Remove fillers for fluency.
