× Actually my home is like near to the countryside so we don't have lots of tall buildings.
✓ Actually my home is near the countryside, so we don't have many tall buildings.
'Near to' is incorrect here; use 'near' without 'to' when indicating proximity. Also 'lots of' is informal and 'many' is more appropriate with the countable noun 'tall buildings'. Use a comma before the coordinating conjunction 'so' connecting two independent clauses.
× Not really, because I prefer to take a photo of the view, not the buildings, because buildings.
✓ Not really, because I prefer to take photos of the view, not photos of buildings.
The plural noun 'photos' should be used when speaking generally. Repeating 'because buildings' is incomplete and redundant; replace with the clear contrast 'not photos of buildings'. This fixes sentence structure and clarity.
× Just when I take a photo of buildings it doesn't really look cool.
✓ When I take photos of buildings, they don't usually look very interesting.
The original has awkward phrasing and a pronoun reference issue. Use plural 'photos' and refer back with 'they' for clarity. 'Look cool' is conversational; 'look very interesting' is grammatically smoother. Add a comma after the introductory clause.
× Yeah, I would love to visit Eiffel Tower, which is located in France.
✓ Yeah, I would love to visit the Eiffel Tower, which is located in France.
Landmarks like 'Eiffel Tower' normally take the definite article 'the' in English. Omitting 'the' is incorrect in this context.
× Actually, I've been there like a few years ago, but I went there when I was too young.
✓ Actually, I went there a few years ago, but I was too young then.
The present perfect 'I've been there' conflicts with the specific past time 'a few years ago'; use simple past 'I went there'. Also streamline the second clause to 'I was too young then' for natural past reference.
× So I want to go back there again because the only thing I remember was that the view up there was really good and really fascinating.
✓ So I want to go back because the only thing I remember is that the view from up there was really good and fascinating.
Use present tense 'is' when referring to a current desire and memory. 'Go back there again' is redundant; 'go back' suffices. Use 'view from up there' for clearer prepositional phrasing.
× To be honest, I don't really wanna live in a tall building because I have a trauma of like taking an elevator so I don't have a good memory of elevator.
✓ To be honest, I don't really want to live in a tall building because I am afraid of taking elevators, so I don't have good experiences with them.
Avoid informal 'wanna' in formal correction; use 'want to'. 'Have a trauma of' is unnatural—use 'am afraid of' or 'have a fear of'. 'Taking an elevator' should be plural 'elevators' when speaking generally. 'I don't have a good memory of elevator' is incorrect; use 'I don't have good experiences with them'.
× But when I live in a tall building, I have to use the elevator every day and I don't want to ride an elevator because.
✓ But if I lived in a tall building, I would have to use the elevator every day, and I wouldn't want to ride elevators because I'm afraid of them.
Use the conditional 'if I lived... I would' to express a hypothetical situation. Keep verb forms consistent. Complete the sentence by stating the reason: 'because I'm afraid of them.' Use plural 'elevators' for general reference.
