× My hometown is in the center of Vietnam, so it is really hot and dry umm in the summer.
✓ My hometown is in the center of Vietnam, so it is really hot and dry in the summer.
The filler word 'umm' is unnecessary and interrupts the sentence flow. Removing it improves clarity and grammatical correctness.
× Sometimes it rains, but that's not umm.
✓ Sometimes it rains, but that doesn't happen often.
The original sentence is incomplete and unclear. Replacing 'that's not umm' with 'that doesn't happen often' clarifies the meaning and corrects the prepositional usage.
× Something happens umm, quite often and during the winter it is umm, really severe with heavy rain.
✓ Something happens quite often, and during the winter it is really severe with heavy rain.
Removing filler words 'umm' improves sentence clarity and grammatical correctness.
× I think I prefer cold weather because if it's cold then I can dress up a lot of jackets or thermal clothes to keep me warm.
✓ I think I prefer cold weather because if it's cold then I can dress up in a lot of jackets or thermal clothes to keep warm.
The phrase 'dress up a lot of jackets' is incorrect; the correct preposition is 'dress up in' when referring to clothing. Also, 'keep me warm' is better as 'keep warm' for natural expression.
× However during for hot water I don't know how to cool myself even though we have ace.
✓ However, during hot weather I don't know how to cool myself even though we have air conditioning.
The phrase 'during for hot water' is incorrect; it should be 'during hot weather'. Also, 'ace' seems to be a mispronunciation or typo for 'air conditioning'. Correcting these improves clarity and grammar.
× I prefer dry weather rather than wet weather.
✓ I prefer dry weather rather than wet weather.
No correction needed; sentence is grammatically correct.
× If I go out during wet weather, my hands will get wet and I don't want to be like that because it makes me feel unprofessional when meeting to other people.
✓ If I go out during wet weather, my hands will get wet and I don't want that because it makes me feel unprofessional when meeting other people.
The phrase 'meeting to other people' is incorrect; the preposition 'to' should be removed. Also, 'I don't want to be like that' is better as 'I don't want that' for clarity.
× I don't have the habit of checking the weather forecast.
✓ I don't have the habit of checking the weather forecast.
No correction needed; sentence is grammatically correct.
× Yeah, so I can prepare myself what to wear so I can, you know, have a suitable clothes for.
✓ Yeah, so I can prepare myself for what to wear so I can, you know, have suitable clothes.
The phrase 'have a suitable clothes' is incorrect because 'clothes' is plural and does not take 'a'. Also, 'prepare myself what to wear' should be 'prepare myself for what to wear' to use the correct preposition.
× The effects of climate change has been impacted our weather patterns dramatically than ever before, especially in recent years.
✓ The effects of climate change have impacted our weather patterns more dramatically than ever before, especially in recent years.
The subject 'effects' is plural, so the verb should be 'have' instead of 'has'. Also, 'been impacted' is incorrect; 'have impacted' is correct. Adding 'more' before 'dramatically' improves comparison.
× People cannot predict the weather patterns you know correctly.
✓ People cannot predict the weather patterns correctly, you know.
The phrase 'you know' is better placed at the end of the sentence for natural flow. Also, 'you know' is an interjection and should be separated by commas.
× Sometimes they have unexpected severe conditions.
✓ Sometimes they experience unexpected severe conditions.
The verb 'have' is less appropriate here; 'experience' better fits the context of weather conditions.
× Of course, whenever I have a chance to visit other cities, I would choose a city with a cool and dry weather as I mentioned before, because that is the weather conditions I like in my cities.
✓ Of course, whenever I have a chance to visit other cities, I would choose a city with cool and dry weather as I mentioned before, because those are the weather conditions I like in my city.
'A cool and dry weather' is incorrect because 'weather' is uncountable and does not take 'a'. Also, 'that is the weather conditions' should be 'those are the weather conditions' to agree in number. 'My cities' should be 'my city'.
× It is so hot and dry, so it is great to change.
✓ It is so hot and dry, so it is great to have a change.
The phrase 'great to change' is incomplete; adding 'have a change' makes the sentence grammatically correct and clearer.
