× At the moment, the weather where I live is typically for the early winter in Hanoi.
✓ At the moment, the weather where I live is typical for early winter in Hanoi.
The adjective 'typical' should be used instead of the adverb 'typically' to correctly describe the noun 'weather'. 'Typically' is an adverb and does not fit here as a predicate adjective.
× The temperature is quite chilly in the early morning, but in noon or in the afternoon is raised significantly and it's quite comfortable.
✓ The temperature is quite chilly in the early morning, but at noon or in the afternoon it rises significantly and is quite comfortable.
The phrase 'in noon' is incorrect; the correct preposition is 'at noon'. Also, the subject 'it' is missing before 'is raised' and the passive voice 'is raised' is inappropriate here; the active form 'it rises' is correct.
× To be honest, I prefer mild temperature because uh, scorching hot are extremely cold.
✓ To be honest, I prefer mild temperatures because scorching hot and extremely cold weather are uncomfortable.
The noun 'temperature' should be plural 'temperatures' to match the context. Also, 'scorching hot are extremely cold' is ungrammatical; it should be 'scorching hot and extremely cold weather are uncomfortable' to make sense.
× Usually made me feel really hard to do any activity outdoor.
✓ They usually make me find it really hard to do any outdoor activity.
The original sentence lacks a subject and proper verb form. 'Usually made me feel really hard' is incorrect; it should be 'They usually make me find it really hard' to express the idea clearly. Also, 'activity outdoor' should be 'outdoor activity'.
× Well I think dry or wet weather has their own advantages or disadvantages, but if I need to chew one I would choose dry weather because I can too many times outdoor activities quite effectively.
✓ Well, I think dry and wet weather each has its own advantages and disadvantages, but if I need to choose one, I would choose dry weather because I can do outdoor activities more often and quite effectively.
The pronouns 'their' and 'one' were misused. 'Dry or wet weather' is singular when considered individually, so 'each has its own' is correct. 'Chew one' is a mishearing or typo for 'choose one'. Also, the phrase 'I can too many times outdoor activities' is ungrammatical; it should be 'I can do outdoor activities more often'.
× Yes, at the moment I usually find information about the weather forecast.
✓ Yes, at the moment I usually look for information about the weather forecast.
The verb 'find' is less appropriate here; 'look for' or 'search for' is better collocated with 'information'. Also, 'at the moment' suggests present continuous, but 'usually' indicates habitual action; the sentence is acceptable but can be improved for clarity.
× I often search for that information in the evening after work and I can find them on TV.
✓ I often search for that information in the evening after work and I can find it on TV.
The pronoun 'them' is incorrect because 'information' is uncountable and singular, so the correct pronoun is 'it'.
× While in my port of view, I think climate change such as global warming have some significant effect on human life in recent years.
✓ In my point of view, I think climate change such as global warming has had some significant effects on human life in recent years.
The phrase 'port of view' is a mishearing of 'point of view'. Also, 'have' should be 'has had' to agree with singular 'climate change' and to indicate past to present effect. 'Effect' should be plural 'effects' to match the context.
× For example, melting eyes make the level C elevated.
✓ For example, melting ice causes the sea level to rise.
'Melting eyes' is a mishearing of 'melting ice'. 'Make the level C elevated' is ungrammatical; the correct expression is 'causes the sea level to rise'.
× Yes, of course. I think it's very interesting to enjoy the other type of weather in other countries in maybe in other continents it can help me to learn more about the weather of each areas.
✓ Yes, of course. I think it's very interesting to experience different types of weather in other countries, maybe even on other continents, as it can help me learn more about the weather in each area.
'Enjoy the other type of weather' is better expressed as 'experience different types of weather'. 'Each areas' should be 'each area' because 'each' is followed by singular noun. The sentence structure is improved for clarity and correctness.
