Part 1

Examiner

What's the weather like where you live?

Candidate

Well, I live in the Kathmandu Valley. It has moderate temperature, so the weather in my valley is sometimes hot and sometimes very cold. Especially it is suitable to live in a winter season and spring season as it is neither too hot and neither too cold, and the spring of Thailand is just amazing.

Examiner

Do you prefer cold or hot weather?

Candidate

Personally, I prefer cold weather over hot weather. In hot weather, umm, the temperature is so high and I can't adjust myself in this type of weather. But in cold weather I feel so cool, cosy and uh, active also. And I own prostate.

Examiner

Do you prefer dry or wet weather?

Candidate

I love rain so obviously I will prefer wet weather. In wet weather the temperature is often too cold and refreshing. The food in this weather is so good and you will love to sleep mostly in this weather.

Examiner

Are you in the habit of checking the weather forecast? When and how often?

Candidate

Uh, yes, of course, most of the time when I have to go out, I always take the weather 1st and prepare myself for the upcoming weather because I can't uh, let myself suffer from the, uh, sudden change in the weather. So I always prefer for myself.

Examiner

What do you think are the effects of climate change in recent years?

Candidate

In my opinion, the effect of climate change in recent year are global warming and pollution, which result in many harmful diseases and pollution.

Examiner

Would you like to visit other cities that have different climates from where you live?

Candidate

To be honest with you, I don't like all the climate, I only prefer cold and wet weather and if I had to visit some place without different weathers or climates I will definitely deny it because I'm not used to the place which have different climate and I can't adjust in that situation.

Part 1

What's the weather like where you live?

Score: 65.0

Suggestion: Your answer is somewhat relevant but lacks coherence and contains some inaccuracies (mentioning Thailand instead of Kathmandu). Try to keep your answer focused on your local weather and avoid unrelated information. Use linking words to connect ideas smoothly.

Example: I live in the Kathmandu Valley, where the weather is generally moderate. It can be hot during summer and quite cold in winter. I especially enjoy the spring season because the temperature is comfortable and the environment is pleasant.

Do you prefer cold or hot weather?

Score: 60.0

Suggestion: Your answer shows your preference clearly but contains some hesitations and an unclear phrase ('I own prostate'). Try to avoid filler words and unclear expressions. Use linking words to explain your reasons more clearly.

Example: I prefer cold weather because I find it more comfortable. In hot weather, I often feel tired and uncomfortable, but cold weather makes me feel refreshed and energetic.

Do you prefer dry or wet weather?

Score: 70.0

Suggestion: Your answer is good but could be improved by avoiding vague phrases like 'the food in this weather is so good' without explanation. Try to provide specific reasons and use linking words to connect your ideas.

Are you in the habit of checking the weather forecast? When and how often?

Score: 60.0

Suggestion: Your answer is relevant but contains many hesitations and unclear phrases. Try to speak more fluently and clearly. Use linking words to organize your answer logically.

What do you think are the effects of climate change in recent years?

Score: 65.0

Suggestion: Your answer mentions important points but is repetitive ('pollution' twice) and lacks detail. Try to avoid repetition and provide more specific examples or explanations.

Example: I think climate change has caused global warming and increased pollution levels. These changes have led to health problems like respiratory diseases and have affected the environment negatively.

Would you like to visit other cities that have different climates from where you live?

Score: 55.0

Suggestion: Your answer is somewhat confusing and contains grammatical errors. Try to express your ideas more clearly and use correct grammar. Also, avoid negative expressions like 'I will definitely deny it'; instead, explain your feelings politely.

Example: I prefer cold and wet climates, so I might find it difficult to visit places with very different weather. However, I am open to trying new experiences if I prepare myself well.

Grammar

Singular and plural issue

× It has moderate temperature, so the weather in my valley is sometimes hot and sometimes very cold.

It has moderate temperatures, so the weather in my valley is sometimes hot and sometimes very cold.

The word 'temperature' should be plural 'temperatures' because it refers to varying degrees of temperature over time, not a single temperature. In English, when talking about general conditions that vary, the plural form is used.

Incorrect use of conjunction

× Especially it is suitable to live in a winter season and spring season as it is neither too hot and neither too cold, and the spring of Thailand is just amazing.

Especially, it is suitable to live in the winter and spring seasons as it is neither too hot nor too cold, and the spring of Thailand is just amazing.

The conjunction 'neither...and...' is incorrect; the correct form is 'neither...nor...'. Also, 'a winter season and spring season' should be 'the winter and spring seasons' for proper article and plural usage.

Incorrect use of pronouns

× In hot weather, umm, the temperature is so high and I can't adjust myself in this type of weather.

In hot weather, umm, the temperature is so high and I can't adjust to this type of weather.

The reflexive pronoun 'myself' is incorrectly used here. The correct expression is 'adjust to something' without a reflexive pronoun.

Incorrect use of pronouns

× But in cold weather I feel so cool, cosy and uh, active also. And I own prostate.

But in cold weather I feel so cool, cosy and uh, active also. And I have prostatitis.

The phrase 'I own prostate' is incorrect and unclear. Likely, the speaker meant 'I have prostatitis' or a similar condition. 'Own' is not used for body parts or medical conditions.

Incorrect use of prepositions

× In wet weather the temperature is often too cold and refreshing.

In wet weather, the temperature is often cool and refreshing.

The phrase 'too cold and refreshing' is contradictory and awkward. 'Too cold' implies discomfort, while 'refreshing' is positive. Also, 'too cold' is not typical for wet weather; 'cool' fits better.

Incorrect use of pronouns

× I always take the weather 1st and prepare myself for the upcoming weather because I can't uh, let myself suffer from the, uh, sudden change in the weather.

I always check the weather first and prepare myself for the upcoming weather because I can't, uh, let myself suffer from the, uh, sudden change in the weather.

The phrase 'take the weather 1st' is incorrect; the correct expression is 'check the weather first'. Also, 'first' should be spelled out in formal speech.

Singular and plural issue

× In my opinion, the effect of climate change in recent year are global warming and pollution, which result in many harmful diseases and pollution.

In my opinion, the effects of climate change in recent years are global warming and pollution, which result in many harmful diseases and pollution.

The word 'effect' should be plural 'effects' because multiple effects are mentioned. Also, 'recent year' should be plural 'recent years' to indicate a period.

Singular and plural issue

× I don't like all the climate, I only prefer cold and wet weather and if I had to visit some place without different weathers or climates I will definitely deny it because I'm not used to the place which have different climate and I can't adjust in that situation.

I don't like all climates; I only prefer cold and wet weather, and if I had to visit some place without different weather or climates, I would definitely refuse because I'm not used to places which have different climates and I can't adjust in that situation.

The word 'climate' should be plural 'climates' when referring to different types. 'Weathers' is not commonly used; 'weather' is uncountable. Also, 'deny' is incorrect here; 'refuse' or 'decline' is appropriate. Subject-verb agreement corrected from 'place which have' to 'places which have'.
