Part 1
Examiner
What's the weather like where you live?
Candidate
The place I live now, the weather is cold but sunny.
Examiner
Do you prefer cold or hot weather?
Candidate
I don't prefer any of them. I like sunny, windy, and when the weather is suitable for just wearing one T-shirt and a jacket.
Examiner
Do you prefer dry or wet weather?
Candidate
I prefer to drive it there better than wet because if the weather is wet, the house and Outsmart smells weird. But dry weather you just have to put cream on your face and your body and that's nothing else.
Examiner
Are you in the habit of checking the weather forecast? When and how often?
Candidate
No, I'm not in the habit of checking the weather forecast. I don't really often check the weather. Only if I'm going out and I have to prepare everything such as raincoats or sunscreen, then I will check the weather forecast.
Examiner
What do you think are the effects of climate change in recent years?
Candidate
Because of climate change, the weather have changed very much and in China and where I live there is no more springs or autumn anymore. There's only very hot or very cold weathers.
Examiner
Would you like to visit other cities that have different climates from where you live?
Candidate
Yes, I would like to visit a place which is cool but sunny because I don't really like cold freezing weathers and hot burning weathers.

× The place I live now, the weather is cold but sunny.
✓ The place where I live now has cold but sunny weather.
The original sentence lacks a proper main verb and clear subject-verb relationship, making it a sentence fragment. Adding 'where' and restructuring the sentence provides clarity and grammatical correctness.
× I don't prefer any of them. I like sunny, windy, and when the weather is suitable for just wearing one T-shirt and a jacket.
✓ I don't prefer either. I like it when the weather is sunny, windy, and suitable for just wearing one T-shirt and a jacket.
The phrase 'I like sunny, windy' is incomplete and unclear. Adding 'it when the weather is' clarifies the meaning. Also, 'any of them' is better replaced with 'either' when referring to two options.
× I prefer to drive it there better than wet because if the weather is wet, the house and Outsmart smells weird.
✓ I prefer dry weather to wet because if the weather is wet, the house and outdoors smell weird.
The phrase 'I prefer to drive it there better than wet' is unclear and incorrect. The intended meaning is a preference for dry weather over wet. Also, 'Outsmart' seems to be a mishearing or typo for 'outdoors'. 'Smells' should be 'smell' to agree with the plural subject 'house and outdoors'.
× But dry weather you just have to put cream on your face and your body and that's nothing else.
✓ But in dry weather, you just have to put cream on your face and body, and nothing else.
The original sentence lacks prepositions and has awkward phrasing. Adding 'in' before 'dry weather' and rephrasing improves clarity and grammatical correctness.
× I don't really often check the weather.
✓ I don't often check the weather.
The adverbs 'really' and 'often' are awkwardly placed together. 'Don't often' is the correct and natural placement for expressing frequency in negative sentences.
× Because of climate change, the weather have changed very much and in China and where I live there is no more springs or autumn anymore.
✓ Because of climate change, the weather has changed a lot, and in China, where I live, there are no more springs or autumns anymore.
'Weather' is singular and requires 'has' not 'have'. Also, 'springs' and 'autumn' should be pluralized consistently as 'springs' and 'autumns'. The sentence also benefits from commas for clarity.
× There's only very hot or very cold weathers.
✓ There is only very hot or very cold weather.
'Weather' is an uncountable noun and should not be pluralized as 'weathers'. Also, 'There is' is correct for singular uncountable nouns.
× Yes, I would like to visit a place which is cool but sunny because I don't really like cold freezing weathers and hot burning weathers.
✓ Yes, I would like to visit a place which is cool but sunny because I don't really like cold freezing weather and hot burning weather.
Again, 'weather' is uncountable and should not be pluralized as 'weathers'. Using the singular form is correct here.
