× Yeah, uh, taking pictures of different views is definitely a great idea, primarily because umm, it adds to your experience and later on you can recall on your memories and also they add to your experiences and for the betterment of your, uh, mental health.
✓ Yes, taking pictures of different views is definitely a great idea, primarily because it adds to your experience, later you can recall your memories, and they contribute to the improvement of your mental health.
Problems addressed: repetitive and incorrect use of pronouns and noun phrases, and awkward verb forms. 'Yeah, uh' is informal; use 'Yes'. 'Taking pictures ... is' is fine (gerund as subject). Use singular 'it adds to your experience' to refer to the general activity rather than switching to 'they add'. 'Recall on your memories' is incorrect preposition and redundancy — correct to 'recall your memories' or better 'remember'. 'For the betterment of your mental health' is wordy; use 'contribute to the improvement of your mental health'. Suggested improvement: keep consistent subject reference (it/the activity vs they/the pictures), avoid filler words, use correct prepositions and concise phrasing.
× I generally like both of them and for urban areas I believe that umm, it captures a more cosmopolitan experience.
✓ I generally like both, and for urban areas I believe they capture a more cosmopolitan experience.
The sentence shifts between 'both of them' and 'it captures'. 'Both' refers to 'urban and rural areas' (plural), so use plural pronoun 'they' not singular 'it'. Also 'both of them' is acceptable but wordy; 'both' suffices. Suggestion: ensure pronoun number agrees with the noun it replaces.
× And uh, the rural areas generally have more natural landscapes, so it's best of both the worlds.
✓ Rural areas generally have more natural landscapes, so it's the best of both worlds.
Remove unnecessary definite article before 'rural areas' unless referring to specific rural areas. The idiom is 'the best of both worlds' not 'best of both the worlds'. Also drop filler 'uh' and leading 'And' if not needed. Suggestion: use established idioms exactly and keep article use consistent.
× I can't choose between one of them.
✓ I can't choose between them.
'Between one of them' is ungrammatical: 'between' already implies two or more items, so use 'between them' or 'choose one of them'. Suggestion: use either 'choose between them' or 'choose one of them' depending on intended meaning.
× I prefer visiting, umm, other countries primarily because it keeps you, uh, more engaging.
✓ I prefer visiting other countries primarily because it keeps you more engaged.
'Keeps you more engaging' incorrectly uses the present participle 'engaging' (meaning 'causing interest'). The correct form is past participle 'engaged' when describing a person's state. Also remove filler words. Suggestion: use 'engaged' to describe someone being interested or involved.
× It has lots of other experiences that you cannot have in your own country.
✓ You have many experiences there that you cannot have in your own country.
Sentence 'It has lots of other experiences' awkwardly uses 'it' to refer to 'visiting other countries'. Recast sentence to make subject 'you' or 'other countries' clearly the actor: 'You have many experiences there...' Also prefer 'many' over informal 'lots of' in formal speech. Suggestion: make subject clear and match register to context.
× You get to see different cultures, identities, different, uh, tastes and.
✓ You get to see different cultures, identities, and tastes.
The original ends abruptly with 'and.' Remove filler 'uh' and the repeated 'different'. Use parallel list structure and finish the sentence. Suggestion: keep lists parallel and complete; avoid trailing conjunctions.
