Weather— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise and correct grammar: start with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific details (temperatures, wind, sun). Avoid hesitations and repetition. Use linking words to connect ideas (for example, 'usually' and 'however').

Example: It is generally cold where I live. Usually temperatures drop to around 3–5°C at night and rise to about 15°C in the afternoon; however, a strong wind often makes it feel colder despite bright sunshine.

Suggestion: Correct vocabulary and finish your sentence. Give a clear preference in the topic sentence, then explain why with a reason and example. Avoid pauses and filler words.

Example: I prefer warm weather, but not extreme heat. For example, I like autumn because the temperature is mild and the air feels fresh, so I can enjoy outdoor activities comfortably.

Suggestion: Be precise and provide a short reason why. Use linking words ('however', 'but') and give a specific example of when you like a little rain.

Example: I prefer dry weather, but I don't mind light rain occasionally. For instance, a short drizzle after a hot day makes the air feel clean and refreshing.

Suggestion: Organize your answer: state frequency first, then give the reason and an example. Remove fillers and finish the sentence. Use linking words like 'so' and 'for example'.

Example: I don't check it very often, but I always look at the forecast before planning outdoor activities or trips. For example, I check the forecast a few days before a holiday so we don't waste time or money on plans that bad weather would ruin.

Suggestion: Speak more clearly and use accurate terms. Start with a clear statement about observed effects, then give specific causes or examples. Avoid vague phrases like 'all the other effects'.

Example: I think recent climate change has caused higher average temperatures and more frequent heatwaves. For example, increased greenhouse gas emissions from pollution have intensified global warming, leading to more extreme weather events.

Suggestion: Be concise and give a specific example of a destination and reason. Remove hesitations and repeat words. Use linking words like 'because' to explain your preference.

Example: Yes, absolutely. I prefer milder, slightly warmer climates; for example, I sometimes travel from Melbourne to northern Australia or Southeast Asia because I enjoy the warmer, sunnier weather for outdoor sightseeing.

× This is it's really cold in the area where I live.

✓ It's really cold in the area where I live.

The original contains redundant words ('This is it's') causing an incorrect sentence structure and redundancy. Remove the extra phrase to produce a single correct clause: 'It's really cold...'. Use a single subject-verb contraction 'It's' for 'It is'.

× Usually it's it drops around 3 or 5 Celsius in the night and reach maximally around 15 in the afternoon, although bright sun and the wind makes it colder.

✓ Usually it drops to around 3 to 5 degrees Celsius at night and reaches a maximum of around 15 in the afternoon, although bright sun and wind can make it feel colder.

Multiple issues: redundant 'it's it', incorrect verb forms (use 'drops' and 'reaches' matching subject 'it'), preposition and unit phrasing ('to around 3 to 5 degrees Celsius at night'), and modal nuance ('can make it feel colder'). Correct verbs must agree with subject and tense; use 'degrees Celsius' for temperature units and 'make it feel colder' for perception.

× ...although bright sun and the wind makes it colder.

✓ ...although bright sun and wind make it colder.

Subject 'bright sun and wind' is plural, so the verb should be 'make' not 'makes'. Ensure subject-verb agreement for third person plural subjects.

× I personally prefer hot water but not too much hot.

✓ I personally prefer hot weather but not excessively hot.

The speaker used 'water' instead of 'weather' (word choice error) and 'too much hot' is ungrammatical. Use the noun 'weather' and an adverbial phrase 'excessively hot' or 'too hot' to modify the adjective 'hot'.

× Usually I prefer the autumn season because it makes me feel fresh and.

✓ Usually I prefer the autumn season because it makes me feel refreshed.

The original ends with a trailing conjunction 'and' and an incomplete thought. Replace with a complete adjective or participle phrase such as 'refreshed'. This completes the sentence and matches the intended meaning.

× Personally I prefer dry weather, but not too much.

✓ Personally I prefer dry weather, but not too dry.

'Not too much' is vague and incorrectly quantifies 'dry weather'. Use 'not too dry' to correctly qualify the adjective 'dry'.

× Maybe it's a little bit of rain where the air is fresh and refreshing.

✓ Maybe a little bit of rain is nice because the air becomes fresh and refreshing.

Original sentence structure is awkward: 'It's a little bit of rain where...' doesn't clearly express the idea. Rephrase to state that light rain is pleasant and results in fresh air, making the sentence coherent.

× Not much often, but I do check the weather forecast when we plan, uh, outdoor activities, especially when we are planning a trip.

✓ Not very often, but I do check the weather forecast when we plan outdoor activities, especially when we are planning a trip.

'Not much often' is ungrammatical; use 'Not very often'. Remove filler 'uh' and unnecessary comma. Maintain present tense 'do check' and 'we plan' for habitual action.

× Umm, because, uh, it's a waste if we spend so much time and money on trips but the weather is not good, so I usually.

✓ Because it's a waste if we spend so much time and money on trips and the weather is bad, I usually check the forecast beforehand.

The original is incomplete and filled with disfluencies ('Umm, uh') and ends abruptly. Remove fillers, complete the thought by stating the action ('I usually check the forecast beforehand'), and fix conjunction use ('and' instead of 'but' for the cause-effect structure).

× I believe the uh, environment climate is bit hot compared to the previous years.

✓ I believe the climate is a bit hotter compared to previous years.

Remove filler words and incorrect noun ordering ('environment climate'); use 'climate'. For comparison use the comparative adjective 'hotter' and include the quantifier 'a bit'.

× The pollution and all the other effects the has affected the global warming and it has caused the temperature increase.

✓ Pollution and other factors have affected global warming and have caused the temperature to increase.

Original has incorrect pronoun/article 'the' and wrong verb agreement ('the has affected'). Use plural subject 'pollution and other factors' with plural verb 'have affected'. Use 'caused the temperature to increase' for correct verb pattern.

× Yes, absolutely. I I love uh, softer and bit warmer weather.

✓ Yes, absolutely. I love softer and slightly warmer weather.

Remove repeated 'I' and filler 'uh'. Use 'slightly warmer' instead of 'bit warmer' for natural phrasing; include 'slightly' to modify 'warmer'.

× So when it's cold in Melbourne where I live, I prefer going to some another state or country where it's bit hot.

✓ So when it's cold in Melbourne, I prefer going to another state or country where it's a bit warmer.

Use 'another' without 'some' before 'another state' and correct comparative 'a bit warmer' rather than 'bit hot'. Maintain tense and use natural phrasing 'going to another state or country'.
