Do you prefer cold or hot weather?
Candidate
I prefer hot weather because of my health as well because most of the time when it's winter season I get ill and in the summer season it feels good and comfortable. I can go outside as well. In the winter season it's more depressive to me as compared to the summer season where which in which I can.

Do you prefer dry or wet weather?

Actually, I like both, but if I have to choose one, it's like wet weather is better because I like rain. That's why even like from my childhood, I like to get wet in the rain.
Examiner
Are you in the habit of checking the weather forecast? When and how often?

Yes, when I moved in Canada heard the weather changes a lot. When I used to live in India I never checked the weather forecast but here it's like daily I check the weather forecast before I go outside. It really helps me because here weather changes a lot.
Examiner
What do you think are the effects of climate change in recent years?

I think population is the main reason of the climate change here in Canada. There's a lot of immigrants and other people. Because of the population, the climate is changing and other than that, because of pollution as well, the climate is changing.

Like one of my friends live in Surrey, BC and he suggested me to visit there and I did and I really found the weather great because as compared to Brampton. So I would like to move there if I want to.

× It's because of the seasonal shift and in the morning and in the evening it's more chilly and but in the afternoon it's hot.
✓ It's because of the seasonal shift, and in the morning and in the evening it's chillier, but in the afternoon it's hot.
The phrase 'more chilly' is incorrect because 'chilly' is a one-syllable adjective that forms its comparative by adding '-ier', so 'chillier' is correct. Also, the conjunction 'and but' is redundant; only 'but' is needed to contrast the ideas.
× In the winter season it's more depressive to me as compared to the summer season where which in which I can.
✓ In the winter season, it's more depressing to me compared to the summer season, when I can.
The word 'depressive' is an adjective describing a person prone to depression, but here the correct adjective is 'depressing' to describe the season's effect. Also, 'where which in which' is redundant and incorrect; 'when' is the appropriate relative adverb to refer to time.
× Actually, I like both, but if I have to choose one, it's like wet weather is better because I like rain.
✓ Actually, I like both, but if I have to choose one, wet weather is better because I like rain.
The phrase 'it's like wet weather is better' is awkward and unnecessary. Removing 'it's like' makes the sentence clearer and grammatically correct.
× Yes, when I moved in Canada heard the weather changes a lot.
✓ Yes, when I moved to Canada, I heard the weather changes a lot.
The preposition 'in' should be 'to' when referring to moving to a place. Also, the sentence lacks the subject 'I' before 'heard'. Adding 'I' clarifies the sentence structure.
× When I used to live in India I never checked the weather forecast but here it's like daily I check the weather forecast before I go outside.
✓ When I used to live in India, I never checked the weather forecast, but here I check the weather forecast daily before I go outside.
The phrase 'it's like daily I check' is awkward. Removing 'it's like' and placing 'daily' after 'check' improves clarity and grammatical correctness.
× I think population is the main reason of the climate change here in Canada.
✓ I think the population is the main reason for climate change here in Canada.
The noun 'population' is singular and should be preceded by the definite article 'the' when referring to a specific population. Also, 'reason of' is incorrect; the correct preposition is 'reason for'. 'Climate change' is uncountable and does not need 'the'.
× There's a lot of immigrants and other people.
✓ There are a lot of immigrants and other people.
The phrase 'There's' is a contraction of 'there is', which is singular. Since 'immigrants and other people' is plural, the correct form is 'There are'.
× Like one of my friends live in Surrey, BC and he suggested me to visit there and I did and I really found the weather great because as compared to Brampton.
✓ One of my friends lives in Surrey, BC, and he suggested that I visit there. I did, and I really found the weather great compared to Brampton.
'One of my friends live' should be 'lives' to agree with the singular subject. 'He suggested me to visit' is incorrect; the correct form is 'he suggested that I visit'. Also, 'because as compared to' is awkward; 'compared to' suffices.
