× Yes, I do like taking pictures of different views for safekeeping and whenever I see that picture it reminds me of the moment or of the time when I was there and it brings back so much memories.
✓ Yes, I do like taking pictures of different views for safekeeping, and whenever I see a picture it reminds me of the moment or the time when I was there and it brings back so many memories.
Errors: 'that picture' -> 'a picture' for natural reference; 'so much memories' -> 'so many memories' because 'memories' is countable and requires 'many' not 'much'. Also added a comma before 'and' to separate clauses. Suggestion: use 'many' with plural countable nouns and choose article 'a' for a non-specific single picture.
× I prefer the views in rural rural areas as it is more greens, you can see more greens and it has a nice and fresh air.
✓ I prefer views in rural areas because there is more green scenery; you can see more greenery and the air is nice and fresh.
Errors: 'rural rural areas' repeated word; 'it is more greens' incorrect number and noun form—'green' as an uncountable adjective/noun or 'greenery' is appropriate; 'you can see more greens' should be 'you can see more greenery'; 'it has a nice and fresh air' incorrect pronoun and article—use 'the air is nice and fresh' or 'the air is nice and fresh there'. Suggestion: avoid repetition, use uncountable nouns correctly (greenery), and match pronouns/articles to refer to 'air'.
× As of now, I prefer the views in my own country because I've already seen it and it brings me peace.
✓ At the moment, I prefer the views in my own country because I have already seen them and they bring me peace.
Errors: 'As of now' is acceptable but 'At the moment' is more natural; 'I've already seen it' uses singular pronoun 'it' to refer to 'views' (plural), so use 'them'; 'it brings me peace' should be 'they bring me peace' to agree with plural 'views'. Suggestion: ensure pronoun number (singular/plural) matches the noun it replaces.
× And As for other countries, I would like to see it for myself first before I make a comparison. Huh.
✓ As for other countries, I would like to see them for myself first before I make a comparison.
Errors: Leading 'And' and capitalized 'As' after 'And' make sentence informal and disfluent; 'see it' uses singular pronoun for plural 'countries'—should be 'see them'; extraneous filler 'Huh' is informal and unnecessary in a test. Suggestion: remove 'And' and filler words, match pronouns to nouns, keep formal tone in responses.
