× Whenever I go outside, I try to take as much picture as possible.
✓ Whenever I go outside, I try to take as many pictures as possible.
'As much' is used with uncountable nouns; 'picture' is countable so use 'as many' and plural 'pictures'. Suggestion: use 'many' with countable plural nouns.' ,
× I'm not a professional photographer, photographer nor I have any degree in photography, but I love to capture moments.
✓ I'm not a professional photographer, nor do I have any degree in photography, but I love to capture moments.
The sentence repeats 'photographer' and misuses 'nor'. After a negative clause ('I'm not...'), use 'nor' with auxiliary inversion ('nor do I have'). Remove the repeated word. Suggestion: avoid repetition and use correct auxiliary inversion with 'nor'.' ,
× For instance, last year I went to a hilly area and I capture amazing pictures of that area and.
✓ For instance, last year I went to a hilly area and I captured amazing pictures of that area.
The sentence sets the time in the past ('last year' and 'went'), so the verb 'capture' should be in the past tense 'captured'. Also the final 'and' is extraneous and should be removed. Suggestion: keep verb tenses consistent with time markers.' ,
× There is something about uh, rural areas.
✓ There is something about rural areas.
This sentence is acceptable but removing filler 'uh' is advised in formal speech. No definite article needed. Suggestion: avoid fillers to improve clarity.' ,
× They are so calm and clean and everything is perfect umm, especially at the sunrise or sunset.
✓ They are so calm and clean and everything is perfect, especially at sunrise or sunset.
When speaking generally about times of day, omit the definite article 'the' before 'sunrise' and 'sunset'. Also remove filler 'umm'. Suggestion: use 'at sunrise' or 'at sunset' for general statements.' ,
× But urban area do have some uh worth taking.
✓ But urban areas do have some worth taking.
'Urban area' should be plural 'urban areas' to agree with 'some' and the verb. With plural subject, 'do have' is correct. Also 'some worth taking' is informal; consider 'some views worth taking'. Suggestion: match subject number and include the noun 'views' for clarity.' ,
× I would say I love to take picture whenever I can and it doesn't matter if it's it's in my country or if I'm traveling overseas.
✓ I would say I love to take pictures whenever I can and it doesn't matter if it's in my country or if I'm traveling overseas.
Use plural 'pictures' with 'take' when referring generally to multiple photos. Also remove the duplicated 'it's'. Suggestion: proofread for repeated words and use plural for general countable items.' ,
× I try to take as many pictures as I can but I do prefer taking pictures in rural areas of any country, doesn't matter if it's my native country or overseas.
✓ I try to take as many pictures as I can, but I do prefer taking pictures in rural areas of any country; it doesn't matter if it's my native country or overseas.
The main issue was punctuation and sentence connection: add a comma and replace the comma splice with a semicolon or separate sentence. Also add the subject 'it' before 'doesn't matter' for a complete clause. Verb forms 'take' and 'taking' are acceptable here, but the sentence needed proper clause structure. Suggestion: ensure each independent clause has a subject and is correctly joined.' }]}
