× Yes, I do like taking pictures of different views because I like when I explore things and when I take pictures of mysterical events.
✓ Yes, I like taking pictures of different views because I enjoy exploring things and taking pictures of mysterious events.
The original sentence uses 'do like' which is unnecessary for a simple affirmative; use 'like'. 'When I explore' is awkward after 'I like'; use the gerund 'exploring' to show activities you enjoy (Verb + -ing form). 'Mysterical' is incorrect; the correct adjective is 'mysterious'. Also combine parallel gerunds 'exploring' and 'taking' for clarity.
× I prefer rural areas because it is peace and quiet and I can relax my mind.
✓ I prefer rural areas because there is peace and quiet and I can relax my mind.
The phrase 'it is peace and quiet' is unidiomatic. Use the existential construction 'there is' to introduce 'peace and quiet' (Article/There-be issue). This fits the context of stating that such things exist in rural areas. Also 'relax my mind' is acceptable but 'clear my mind' is more natural.
× I prefer views in other countries because other countries are developed and they have different type of technologies which is more efficient for people.
✓ I prefer views in other countries because other countries are more developed and they have different types of technology that are more efficient for people.
Problems include 'different type of technologies' which mixes singular/plural forms; use 'different types of technology' or 'different types of technologies' consistently (Singular and plural issue). Also 'are developed' is better as 'more developed' to compare, and 'which is more efficient' should agree with plural 'types' so use 'that are more efficient' (subject-verb agreement and relative clause correction).
