× Yeah, I do like to look out at the window at the scenery because it gives me, uh, the peace and calm in my mind and the things that this is the best way to recharge your batteries and, uh, have a pause of this world and noise out of your life and work.
✓ Yeah, I like to look out of the window at the scenery because it gives me peace and calm, and I think this is the best way to recharge my batteries and take a break from the world's noise and work.
The sentence misuses articles and some noun phrases: 'at the window' should be 'out of the window' or 'from the window'; 'the peace and calm' is better without 'the' when speaking generally ('peace and calm'); 'the things that this is the best way' is ungrammatical and should be rephrased as 'I think this is the best way'; 'have a pause of this world and noise' is incorrect; use 'take a break from the world's noise'. Suggestions: remove unnecessary 'the' before uncountable nouns used generically, use 'look out of the window', replace 'have a pause of' with 'take a break from'.
× Yes I do, I'm keen on taking photos in general. I like to have pretty good pictures of happy memories or just beautiful and great view out of the window. So I'm absolutely enjoy doing photos in.
✓ Yes, I do. I'm keen on taking photos in general. I like to have pretty good pictures of happy moments or just beautiful views out of the window. So I absolutely enjoy taking photos.
Errors: 'happy memories' is acceptable but 'pictures of happy memories' is awkward; 'happy moments' is clearer. 'beautiful and great view' should be plural 'beautiful views'; 'out of the window' should be 'out of the window' or 'from the window'—kept 'out of the window'; 'I'm absolutely enjoy doing photos in' is ungrammatical: after 'enjoy' use verb+ing ('enjoy taking photos') and 'doing photos in' is incorrect. Suggestions: use plural for countable nouns (views), use verb+ing after 'enjoy', and correct prepositions ('from/out of the window').
× I prefer the seaside because I'm not the active tourist and I like to spend my leisure time on the holidays just lying and doing nothing.
✓ I prefer the seaside because I'm not an active tourist and I like to spend my holidays just lying around and doing nothing.
Errors: 'the active tourist' incorrectly uses definite article and singular noun; use 'an active tourist'. 'spend my leisure time on the holidays' is awkward; say 'spend my holidays' or 'spend my leisure time on holiday'. 'just lying and doing nothing' needs a particle after 'lying' ('lying around'). Suggestions: use the indefinite article 'an' for a non-specific noun, simplify 'spend my holidays', and use common collocation 'lying around'.
× So I prefer the seaside with the infrastructure of the beach and having a.
✓ So I prefer the seaside because of the beach facilities and the relaxed atmosphere.
The original phrase 'the infrastructure of the beach' is unnatural; 'beach facilities' or 'good facilities' is better. 'and having a.' is incomplete. Also using 'the seaside' is fine, but 'the' before general concepts can be omitted depending on context. Suggestions: replace vague or literal translations with natural collocations like 'beach facilities' and complete the sentence by stating what is appreciated (e.g., 'relaxed atmosphere').
