Weather— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise and precise: start with a clear topic sentence about the general climate, then add one specific supporting detail. Avoid filler words (uh) and minor grammar errors (singular/plural).

Example: I live in a mountainous area, so the weather is generally crisp and fresh. However, in autumn and winter air pollution sometimes increases because temperature inversions trap smoke and vehicle exhaust in the valleys.

Suggestion: Give a clear topic sentence stating your preference, then give two specific reasons using linking words. Remove repetitions and hesitations.

Example: I prefer hot weather because it makes me feel more energetic and relaxed. For example, I enjoy outdoor sports in warm weather, whereas in cold weather my muscles tense up and I feel less motivated to go outside.

Suggestion: Start with a clear stance (mixed feelings) and then organize reasons with linking words (on the one hand / on the other hand). Be more specific about effects and avoid filler sounds.

Example: I have mixed feelings about this: on the one hand, dry weather aggravates my breathing and makes my throat feel dry; on the other hand, wet weather makes my hair frizzy and uncomfortable, so both have drawbacks.

Suggestion: Give a direct answer about frequency, then specific examples of when and why you check. Eliminate repeated words and hesitations.

Example: Yes, I check the forecast regularly, usually every morning and definitely before weekend plans. For instance, I look up the hourly forecast before hiking to decide what to wear and whether to bring a raincoat.

Suggestion: Provide a clear topic sentence about the main effects, then give two specific, coherent examples with linking words. Avoid vague phrases and incomplete sentences.

Example: Climate change has caused more extreme weather patterns, such as stronger heatwaves and longer droughts. For example, my city has seen hotter, drier summers with water shortages, which local authorities attribute to reduced rainfall and higher evaporation rates.

Suggestion: Begin with a direct answer, then give specific reasons and a brief example of where you might go. Avoid filler words and explain acronyms (SAD) if used.

Example: Yes, I'd love to visit warmer cities because I feel cold most of the year and sunlight improves my mood. For example, I would like to spend a couple of weeks in a Mediterranean city like Barcelona to enjoy sunny days and warmer temperatures.

× the winter and autumns it gets a little polluted.

✓ the winter and autumn it gets a little polluted.

Autumn is usually treated as an uncountable or singular season name in this context; using 'autumns' sounds odd. Use singular 'autumn' when speaking about the season in general. Suggestion: say 'in winter and autumn' or 'during winter and autumn'.

× cold weather make me feel stiff.

✓ cold weather makes me feel stiff.

Subject 'cold weather' is third-person singular, so the verb needs the -s ending in the present simple ('makes'). Suggestion: remember to add -s for he/she/it or singular subjects in present simple.

× I hate cold weather and especially during the winter day when the uh, I love hot weather.

✓ I hate cold weather; I especially love hot weather during the day in winter.

The original sentence is disfluent and mixes ideas ('especially during the winter day when the uh, I love hot weather') creating a sentence structure problem. Reorder to separate negative and positive preferences and place time phrase correctly. Suggestion: break into two clauses and put time expressions after the main clause.

× dry weather, uh, makes breathing a little harder for me,

✓ dry weather makes breathing a little harder for me.

This sentence is mostly correct grammatically; removed filler commas/uh. No -ing form error, but keep structure concise. Suggestion: avoid filler words and extra commas.

× the wet weather makes my hair freeze up.

✓ wet weather makes my hair freeze up.

Article 'the' is unnecessary when speaking about weather in general. Use 'wet weather' without 'the'. Suggestion: omit 'the' when referring to weather as a general condition.

× to see if it will rain or will it be cold, to choose what I wear and decide whether I need to.

✓ to see if it will rain or be cold, to choose what I will wear and decide what I need to bring.

Original mixes word order for an indirect question ('if it will rain or will it be cold' should be 'if it will rain or be cold'). Also 'choose what I wear' should match future planning with 'choose what I will wear', and 'decide whether I need to' is incomplete—add an object like 'to bring'. Suggestion: use consistent word order for embedded clauses and complete verbs with objects.

× it has cut droughts.

✓ it has caused droughts.

'Cut droughts' is incorrect collocation. Likely intended meaning is 'caused droughts'. Use 'caused' to indicate the effect of climate change; present perfect 'has caused' is appropriate for recent effects. Suggestion: use correct verb collocations for 'cause' rather than 'cut'.

× the city I live in has experienced weather shortage through summer and it has said that it was mainly due to the.

✓ The city I live in has experienced shortages of rain during the summer, and it was said that this was mainly due to climate change.

Original sentence is fragmented and incomplete ('due to the.'). 'Weather shortage' is not natural; use 'shortages of rain' or 'drought'. Also complete the passive report 'it was said' with what caused it. Suggestion: rephrase for clarity and complete the causal phrase.

× I've been feeling cold for almost four months.

✓ I've been feeling cold for almost four months.

This sentence is grammatically correct (present perfect continuous) and fits the context. No change needed. Suggestion: keep as is.

× I feel more energized, calmer and cold weather make me feel stiff.

✓ I feel more energized and calmer, while cold weather makes me feel stiff.

Parallelism and subject-verb agreement issue: combine adjectives with 'and' for parallel structure and ensure 'cold weather makes' uses third-person singular. Also add 'while' to contrast. Suggestion: use parallel adjectives and correct verb agreement.
