The weather in Melbourne is really changeable from day-to-day. Sometimes it was sunny in the morning but suddenly it just starts raining. But then it sometimes turn to storming or it just go back to sunny again. It's actually pretty hard to predict it what to wear in that day.

Do you prefer cold or hot weather?
Thí sinh
Compared to cold weather, I prefer the hot 1 because in sunny days I can hang out with my friends or walk a dog in the garden or even sometimes can go for hiking. And all of them is such nice for me to keep fit so that I can have enough time to immerse myself in the nature.

Do you prefer dry or wet weather?
Thí sinh
Compared to wet weather, I prefer the dry weather as I don't like stay in West especially in rainy days. It feels so uncomfortable and even sometimes disgusting when you feel everywhere with water around. But for dry weather the only thing I can answer is just drink more water and have some lipsticks.

Yes, exactly. I usually check the weather forecast every morning before I, I have to work or school because I really need to know what should I wear or what kind of clothes or outfits do I need to in that day. Uh, usually I check that. Sometimes I check that before I go to bed because I can get flu preparation for another day.

Would you like to visit other cities that have different climates from where you live?
Thí sinh
Yes, exactly. I believe traveling to another place is a good opportunity for me to immerse myself in some other climate. For example, I really want to travel to somewhere in Europe which is totally different. They have a longer winter, especially when they have snow, which I have never accept before. I'm happy to do it.

× Sometimes it was sunny in the morning but suddenly it just starts raining.
✓ Sometimes it is sunny in the morning but suddenly it just starts raining.
The sentence describes habitual or repeated events, so the present tense should be used instead of past tense 'was'. Using present tense 'is' correctly reflects ongoing or repeated weather patterns.
× But then it sometimes turn to storming or it just go back to sunny again.
✓ But then it sometimes turns to storming or it just goes back to sunny again.
The subject 'it' requires the verb to be in third person singular form, so 'turn' should be 'turns' and 'go' should be 'goes' to agree with the singular subject.
× It's actually pretty hard to predict it what to wear in that day.
✓ It's actually pretty hard to predict what to wear on that day.
The pronoun 'it' is unnecessary and incorrectly placed. Also, the preposition 'in' should be 'on' when referring to a specific day.
× Compared to cold weather, I prefer the hot 1 because in sunny days I can hang out with my friends or walk a dog in the garden or even sometimes can go for hiking.
✓ Compared to cold weather, I prefer hot weather because on sunny days I can hang out with my friends, walk a dog in the garden, or even sometimes go hiking.
The phrase 'the hot 1' is incorrect; 'hot weather' is appropriate. 'In sunny days' should be 'on sunny days' (preposition correction). 'Walk a dog' is correct but 'go for hiking' should be 'go hiking'. Also, 'sometimes can go' is awkward; 'sometimes go' is better.
× And all of them is such nice for me to keep fit so that I can have enough time to immerse myself in the nature.
✓ And all of them are so nice for me to keep fit so that I can have enough time to immerse myself in nature.
'All of them' is plural, so the verb should be 'are' not 'is'. 'Such nice' is incorrect; 'so nice' is appropriate. 'In the nature' should be 'in nature' as 'nature' is uncountable and does not need 'the'.
× Compared to wet weather, I prefer the dry weather as I don't like stay in West especially in rainy days.
✓ Compared to wet weather, I prefer dry weather as I don't like staying in the wet, especially on rainy days.
'Don't like stay' should be 'don't like staying' (verb + -ing form). 'West' is likely a typo for 'wet'. 'In rainy days' should be 'on rainy days' (correct preposition). Also, 'the dry weather' can be simplified to 'dry weather'.
× It feels so uncomfortable and even sometimes disgusting when you feel everywhere with water around.
✓ It feels so uncomfortable and sometimes even disgusting when you feel water everywhere around you.
The phrase 'feel everywhere with water around' is awkward. Correct phrasing is 'feel water everywhere around you'. Also, 'even sometimes' is better as 'sometimes even' for natural adverb placement.
× But for dry weather the only thing I can answer is just drink more water and have some lipsticks.
✓ But for dry weather, the only thing I can say is to drink more water and use some lip balm.
'I can answer' is unnatural; 'I can say' is better. 'Have some lipsticks' is incorrect; 'use some lip balm' is appropriate for dry weather. Also, a comma is needed after 'dry weather'.
× Yes, exactly. I usually check the weather forecast every morning before I, I have to work or school because I really need to know what should I wear or what kind of clothes or outfits do I need to in that day.
✓ Yes, exactly. I usually check the weather forecast every morning before I have to go to work or school because I really need to know what I should wear or what kind of clothes or outfits I need on that day.
The sentence has repeated 'I,' which is an error. The question word order 'what should I wear' is incorrect in a statement; it should be 'what I should wear'. 'Do I need to' is incorrect; it should be 'I need'. 'In that day' should be 'on that day'. Also, 'go to' is needed before 'work or school'.
× Uh, usually I check that. Sometimes I check that before I go to bed because I can get flu preparation for another day.
✓ Uh, usually I check that. Sometimes I check it before I go to bed because I can prepare for the flu the next day.
'I can get flu preparation' is incorrect; it should be 'I can prepare for the flu'. 'Another day' is vague; 'the next day' is clearer. Also, 'check that' is better as 'check it' for clarity.
× I found that recently we have more extreme weather, especially in summer.
✓ I have found that recently we have more extreme weather, especially in summer.
The present perfect 'have found' is more appropriate to indicate a recent observation continuing to the present rather than simple past 'found'.
× For example, in the city I live in right now, they have a really hot wind, really hot summer and which lasts a long days compared to what it happens.
✓ For example, in the city I live in right now, we have really hot winds and a really hot summer which lasts many days compared to before.
'They have' is incorrect when referring to the city where the speaker lives; 'we have' is appropriate. 'A really hot wind' should be plural 'winds' if referring to multiple occurrences. 'Which lasts a long days' is incorrect; 'which lasts many days' is correct. 'Compared to what it happens' is unclear; 'compared to before' is clearer.
× As usual, it's really annoying and it's.
✓ As usual, it's really annoying.
The sentence ends abruptly with 'and it's.' which is incomplete and incorrect. Removing the incomplete part corrects the sentence.
× Yes, exactly. I believe traveling to another place is a good opportunity for me to immerse myself in some other climate.
✓ Yes, exactly. I believe traveling to another place is a good opportunity for me to immerse myself in a different climate.
'Some other climate' is unnatural; 'a different climate' is the correct phrase.
× For example, I really want to travel to somewhere in Europe which is totally different.
✓ For example, I really want to travel somewhere in Europe which is totally different.
'Travel to somewhere' is incorrect; 'travel somewhere' is correct. 'Somewhere' already implies a destination, so 'to' is unnecessary.
× They have a longer winter, especially when they have snow, which I have never accept before.
✓ They have a longer winter, especially when they have snow, which I have never experienced before.
'I have never accept before' is incorrect; the correct verb is 'experienced' to indicate having gone through something.
