Part 1
Examiner
What's the weather like where you live?
Candidate
I live in Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal, in the heart of countries, culture and heritage, and world weather here is quite unpredictable. One minute you are dripping with sweat under the scrolling sun and another moment you feel cold due to heavy rain. It gets really interesting.
Examiner
Do you prefer cold or hot weather?
Candidate
I actually prefer cold weathers because I get really uncomfortable when I sweat during hot summer days and it really makes me feel less confident and self-conscious in the public, so I like cold rainy weathers.
Examiner
Do you prefer dry or wet weather?
Candidate
I prefer wet weather and the main reason is the smell of the environment after it stops raining. That's the main reason I'm really fond of rainy days. I love how the environment seems more greener and the smell of the freshly wet mud, it really excites me.
Examiner
Are you in the habit of checking the weather forecast? When and how often?
Candidate
I don't really check on the weather forecast, but if I have some important event which I have to attend to, then I tend to go through the weather app just to make sure that my dress and my makeup doesn't get don't get wet. So I take an umbrella with me just to be on the safe side or raincoat winner.
Examiner
What do you think are the effects of climate change in recent years?
Candidate
I think was actually affected the environment and the daily activities of people. For instance, Kathmandu is a hill geography and is really prone to landslides, so during heavy rains it becomes really difficult for people to commute and prevent people to reach on destination due to longer time maintenance required.
Examiner
Would you like to visit other cities that have different climates from where you live?
Candidate
Well, I am habituated with the climate of Kathmandu. It's not too hot or not too cold. It sometimes gets frustrating when it rains really heavy that it makes it harder for people here to commute. But I wouldn't prefer any other weather than this because other parts of our country.

× I actually prefer cold weathers because I get really uncomfortable when I sweat during hot summer days and it really makes me feel less confident and self-conscious in the public, so I like cold rainy weathers.
✓ I actually prefer cold weather because I get really uncomfortable when I sweat during hot summer days and it really makes me feel less confident and self-conscious in public, so I like cold rainy weather.
The word 'weather' is an uncountable noun and should not be pluralised as 'weathers'. Using 'weather' in singular form is correct when referring to general atmospheric conditions. Also, 'in the public' is incorrect; it should be 'in public' without 'the'.
× I love how the environment seems more greener and the smell of the freshly wet mud, it really excites me.
✓ I love how the environment seems greener and the smell of the freshly wet mud really excites me.
The phrase 'more greener' is incorrect because 'greener' is already a comparative adjective. Using 'more' with a comparative adjective is redundant. Also, the comma before 'it really excites me' creates a comma splice; it is better to connect the ideas properly or separate them into two sentences.
× I don't really check on the weather forecast, but if I have some important event which I have to attend to, then I tend to go through the weather app just to make sure that my dress and my makeup doesn't get don't get wet.
✓ I don't really check the weather forecast, but if I have an important event to attend, then I tend to check the weather app just to make sure that my dress and my makeup don't get wet.
The verb 'check' does not require the preposition 'on' when referring to 'the weather forecast'. Also, 'some important event which I have to attend to' is better expressed as 'an important event to attend'. The phrase 'doesn't get don't get wet' contains a repetition and incorrect subject-verb agreement; 'don't get wet' is correct because the subject is plural ('dress and makeup').
× I think was actually affected the environment and the daily activities of people.
✓ I think it has actually affected the environment and the daily activities of people.
The original sentence is missing the subject 'it' and uses incorrect tense. The present perfect tense 'has affected' is appropriate here to indicate an effect continuing to the present. The phrase 'I think was actually affected' is ungrammatical.
× ...so during heavy rains it becomes really difficult for people to commute and prevent people to reach on destination due to longer time maintenance required.
✓ ...so during heavy rains it becomes really difficult for people to commute and prevents people from reaching their destination due to the longer time required for maintenance.
The verb 'prevent' should be followed by 'from' plus gerund ('reaching'). Also, 'reach on destination' is incorrect; it should be 'reach their destination'. The phrase 'longer time maintenance required' is awkward and needs rephrasing to 'the longer time required for maintenance'. Subject-verb agreement is corrected by changing 'prevent' to 'prevents' to agree with singular subject 'it'.
× Well, I am habituated with the climate of Kathmandu. It's not too hot or not too cold. It sometimes gets frustrating when it rains really heavy that it makes it harder for people here to commute. But I wouldn't prefer any other weather than this because other parts of our country.
✓ Well, I am accustomed to the climate of Kathmandu. It's neither too hot nor too cold. It sometimes gets frustrating when it rains heavily because it makes it harder for people here to commute. But I wouldn't prefer any other weather than this, unlike other parts of our country.
The phrase 'habituated with' is incorrect; the correct expression is 'accustomed to'. 'Not too hot or not too cold' is better expressed as 'neither too hot nor too cold'. 'Rains really heavy' should be 'rains heavily' to use the correct adverb form. The sentence 'But I wouldn't prefer any other weather than this because other parts of our country.' is incomplete and unclear; adding 'unlike other parts of our country' clarifies the meaning and improves sentence structure.
