× The place I live, it's weather is very hot and it is very rainy.
✓ The place I live has very hot weather and it is very rainy.
The original sentence incorrectly uses 'it's weather' which is a wrong pronoun and possessive form. The correct form is 'has very hot weather' to indicate possession of weather characteristics by the place.
× Always.
✓ It is always like that.
The word 'Always.' alone is a sentence fragment and lacks a verb. It should be part of a complete sentence to convey the intended meaning.
× At least three times a week here is rainy.
✓ It rains here at least three times a week.
The original sentence has incorrect word order and lacks a proper verb structure. The corrected sentence uses the correct subject-verb-object order and verb form.
× Well, I like 4 season weather because it is very enjoyable and pleasing for me because we experience all of the seasons.
✓ Well, I like 4-season weather because it is very enjoyable and pleasing for me since we experience all of the seasons.
The phrase '4 season weather' should be hyphenated as '4-season weather' to correctly modify the noun 'weather'. Also, 'because' is repeated unnecessarily; replacing the second 'because' with 'since' improves clarity.
× But mostly I like hot weather because we are free to do the things and we can go on vacation and everything else.
✓ But mostly I like hot weather because we are free to do things and we can go on vacation and do everything else.
The phrase 'do the things' is incorrect; 'do things' is the correct general expression. Also, adding 'do' before 'everything else' clarifies the action.
× I used to check the weather always, but right now I am busy.
✓ I used to always check the weather, but right now I am busy.
The adverb 'always' should be placed before the main verb 'check' for correct adverb placement in English.
× I am so busy.
✓ I am very busy.
While 'so busy' is not grammatically incorrect, 'very busy' is more formal and appropriate in this context.
× Umm, I'm not checking the weather too much.
✓ Umm, I am not checking the weather very often.
The phrase 'too much' is less appropriate here; 'very often' better expresses frequency in this context.
× The effects of climate change in recent years are hotter and stronger storms, and the weather is getting hotter day by day and many people concern about this.
✓ The effects of climate change in recent years are hotter and stronger storms, and the weather is getting hotter day by day, and many people are concerned about this.
The verb 'concern' is incorrectly used; the correct form is 'are concerned' to indicate people's feelings. Also, a comma is added for clarity.
× Yes, I would like to visit other cities that have different climates from where I live because I love it.
✓ Yes, I would like to visit other cities that have different climates from where I live because I love experiencing new places.
The pronoun 'it' is vague here; specifying what is loved improves clarity.
× And that would be a very good adventure because we would discover new, impactful and effective things and beautiful places.
✓ That would be a very good adventure because we would discover new, impactful, and beautiful places and things.
The original sentence has awkward word order and missing commas. The corrected sentence improves clarity and parallel structure.
