× Yes, I love taking picture of different views wherever I go.
✓ Yes, I love taking pictures of different views wherever I go.
The noun 'picture' should be plural 'pictures' because 'taking' implies multiple instances or general activity; use plural to match 'different views'. Suggestion: Use plural nouns after verbs like 'take' when referring to multiple items (e.g., 'taking pictures').
× I often take photos when I travel, when I am cooking or when I am out hiking with friends because I like to capture special moments and look back on them later so I can look back and feel nostalgic.
✓ I often take photos when I travel, when I cook, or when I go hiking with friends because I like to capture special moments and look back on them later to feel nostalgic.
Use simple present ('I cook') for habitual actions rather than progressive ('I am cooking') when listing routines. Also streamline repetition ('look back on them later so I can look back' is redundant) by using 'to feel nostalgic'. Suggestion: Keep parallel verb forms in lists and avoid redundant phrases.
× I prefer views in rural areas because I love the lush greenery and animals like goats and cow.
✓ I prefer views in rural areas because I love the lush greenery and animals like goats and cows.
Both animal nouns should agree in number; 'cow' should be plural 'cows' to match 'goats' and because the speaker refers to animals in general. Suggestion: Use plural nouns when speaking generally about types of animals.
× I also enjoy the fresh air and lower pollution and there are many peaceful outdoor activities to do in countryside such as plucking the agriculture field.
✓ I also enjoy the fresh air and lower pollution, and there are many peaceful outdoor activities to do in the countryside, such as harvesting agricultural fields.
Several issues: missing article 'the' before 'countryside'; 'plucking the agriculture field' is unidiomatic—use 'harvesting agricultural fields' or 'working in agricultural fields'. 'Agriculture' is a noun that needs to modify 'fields' (adjective form 'agricultural'). Suggestion: Use 'the countryside' for a general area, use correct collocations ('harvest fields', 'agricultural fields').
× I am currently living in Canada but I am originally I am from India so I can compare the views in a both the countries.
✓ I am currently living in Canada, but I am originally from India, so I can compare the views in both countries.
Redundant 'I am' appears twice ('I am originally I am'); remove the extra 'I am'. Also 'a both the countries' is incorrect; use 'both countries' without articles. Suggestion: Avoid redundant verbs and use 'both' directly with plural nouns ('both countries').
× I can say that in the Canada rural areas are quite greener and less polluted and less congested as compared to the Indian rural areas.
✓ I can say that in Canada rural areas are much greener, less polluted, and less congested compared to Indian rural areas.
Do not use the definite article 'the' before country names like 'Canada' in this context. 'Quite greener' is awkward—use 'much greener' or simply 'greener'. Also streamline repeated 'and' with commas. Suggestion: Omit 'the' before country names and use comparative adverbs properly ('much greener' or 'greener').
× I like the greenery and scenery over here.
✓ I like the greenery and scenery here.
'Over here' is informal and can be shortened to 'here' in this context. This is a stylistic rather than strict grammatical correction; using 'here' is clearer and more natural. Suggestion: Prefer 'here' in spoken descriptions for clarity.
