× Yes, I do like taking pictures of different views, especially the sea.
✓ Yes, I like taking pictures of different views, especially of the sea.
Unnecessary use of 'do' for simple present affirmative sentences. In English, we normally use the base verb 'like' without the auxiliary 'do' in affirmative statements. Suggestion: remove 'do' unless forming a question or emphasis (e.g., 'I do like' for strong emphasis).
× The sea is very beautiful when it's sunset and sunrise.
✓ The sea is very beautiful at sunset and at sunrise.
We use the preposition 'at' with time expressions like 'sunset' and 'sunrise'. Using 'when it's sunset' is awkward. Suggestion: say 'at sunset' and 'at sunrise' for natural time reference.
× So I enjoy taking pictures of the sea and also I like forests and mountains 'cause they are very beautiful and they do have very high quality pictures.
✓ So I enjoy taking pictures of the sea, and I also like forests and mountains because they are very beautiful and make high-quality photos.
Use of 'cause' is informal; 'because' is appropriate in spoken but 'cause' should be written as 'because'. 'They do have very high quality pictures' is awkward: subjects (forests and mountains) do not 'have pictures'; people take high-quality photos of them. Suggestion: rephrase to 'make high-quality photos' or 'are great subjects for high-quality photos.' Remove unnecessary 'do' unless for emphasis.
× I specially prefer the views in rural areas 'cause I really enjoy the views of forests and rural environment and especially the Paddy fields and the rural cultures is very realistic and it helps us to get much more preferable views in the rural areas.
✓ I especially prefer views in rural areas because I enjoy forests and the rural environment, especially the paddy fields; rural culture is very authentic and it helps us find more appealing views in the countryside.
Multiple issues: 'specially' should be 'especially'. 'Paddy fields' is plural and should not be capitalized. 'The rural cultures is' has subject-verb agreement error: plural 'cultures' needs 'are' or change to singular 'culture is'. 'Preferable views' is awkward; 'more appealing' or 'more picturesque' is better. Also avoid repeating 'views' unnecessarily. Suggestion: correct spelling, ensure subject-verb agreement, and use natural collocations like 'rural environment' and 'paddy fields.'
× Yes, I prefer the wheels in my own country, Sri Lanka, 'cause it got very beautiful and very attracting views, especially in beach areas and also in high mountains, 'cause it got a specific wild nature and wildlife.
✓ Yes, I prefer the views in my own country, Sri Lanka, because it has very beautiful and attractive scenery, especially on the beaches and in the high mountains, which have distinctive wild nature and wildlife.
'Wheels' is incorrect and likely a typo for 'views'. 'It got' is nonstandard: use 'it has' or 'there are'. 'Very attracting' is incorrect adjective form; use 'very attractive' or 'attracting' with different structure. Use 'on the beaches' and 'in the mountains' for correct prepositions. Also 'which have' or 'that have' is needed to link mountains to wildlife. Suggestion: fix word choice, use proper verb 'has', correct adjective forms, and use appropriate prepositions.
× And also I prefer the waves in Australia 'cause it's have magnificent beaches.
✓ I also prefer the beaches in Australia because they have magnificent waves.
Original mixes 'waves' and 'beaches' incorrectly and uses 'it's have' which is ungrammatical ('it has' or 'they have'). Better to say 'beaches... have magnificent waves' or 'I prefer the waves in Australia because the beaches are magnificent.' Suggestion: choose consistent subject (beaches or waves) and use correct verb agreement.
