What's the weather like where you live?
Score: 64.0Suggestion: Be more grammatically accurate and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Avoid repetition and correct tense and article errors (e.g., “two seasons”, “it is the hot season”, “play sports”).
Example: I live in Cambodia, which has two main seasons: the rainy season and the hot season. Right now it is the hot season, and I enjoy it because I can often play sports and spend time outdoors with my friends.
Do you prefer cold or hot weather?
Score: 58.0Suggestion: Make your preference clear in one sentence, then give a specific reason with correct grammar and linking words. Avoid fillers and unclear phrases like “when the hot weather is becoming” and incorrect tense. Be specific about why cold weather is unpleasant.
Example: I prefer hot weather because it lets me spend time outdoors with friends and family. In contrast, I dislike cold weather because it usually brings constant rain, which limits outdoor activities.
Do you prefer dry or wet weather?
Score: 60.0Suggestion: Answer directly, then give a clear, specific reason with correct vocabulary and grammar. Use linking words to connect ideas and correct nouns/verbs (e.g., “plants”, “water”).
Example: I prefer wet weather because it helps plants grow and reduces the need for watering. For example, during the rainy season farmers and gardeners do not have to water their crops as often.
Are you in the habit of checking the weather forecast? When and how often?
Score: 52.0Suggestion: Give a concise direct answer about frequency, then explain briefly why. Correct grammar (e.g., “I don't always check the forecast,” “it is not necessary”) and be specific about times you might check it (e.g., before travel or in the morning).
Example: I don't usually check the weather forecast, maybe only once in the morning or before I travel. Since the climate here is fairly predictable, I find it unnecessary to check it every day unless I have plans.
What do you think are the effects of climate change in recent years?
Score: 66.0Suggestion: Start with a clear topic sentence describing effects, then list two or three specific causes or consequences using linking words. Use correct vocabulary (e.g., “pollution”, “vehicle emissions”, “deforestation”) and avoid filler words. Mention concrete effects (e.g., rising temperatures, extreme weather).
Example: Climate change has caused higher temperatures and more frequent extreme weather in recent years. This is largely due to vehicle emissions and deforestation, which increase greenhouse gases and reduce the number of trees that absorb CO2.
Would you like to visit other cities that have different climates from where you live?
Score: 54.0Suggestion: Answer directly with correct verb forms (e.g., “I would visit” or “I would like to visit”), then give one or two specific reasons and an example of what climate you want to experience. Avoid vague phrases and filler words.
Example: Yes, I would like to visit countries with different climates, such as Japan in winter, to experience snow and cold weather. It would be exciting to try new activities like skiing and see how people live in a colder climate.
× Well, I am living in Cambodia, so in this country there are two season there are rain and hot.
✓ Well, I live in Cambodia, and in this country there are two seasons: rainy and hot.
Use simple present 'I live' for a permanent state instead of present continuous 'I am living'; use plural 'seasons' for more than one; use 'rainy' as adjective and a colon to list items. Suggestion: Use simple present for facts (I live), make nouns plural when needed (seasons), and use correct adjectives (rainy).
× So right now it is a hot season.
✓ So right now it is the hot season.
Use definite article 'the' when referring to a specific season currently occurring. 'A hot season' could be generic; 'the hot season' specifies it. Suggestion: Use 'the' for a specific time period currently happening.
× I actually like this season because I can hang out with my friends for playing any sports and actually spend time together.
✓ I actually like this season because I can hang out with my friends to play sports and spend time together.
Use infinitive 'to play' after 'hang out ... to' or use simple verb 'play' instead of 'for playing'; avoid 'any' before plural 'sports' here. Also remove redundant 'actually.' Suggestion: Use 'to' + base verb for purpose (to play) and keep sentences concise.
× I would say I definitely prefer hot weather because hot weather would allow me to hang out with my friends and family.
✓ I would say I definitely prefer hot weather because it allows me to hang out with my friends and family.
Use present simple 'allows' for general truths rather than conditional 'would allow' after 'I prefer.' 'Hot weather' repeated can be replaced with 'it.' Suggestion: Use present simple when stating general facts or habitual results.
× It's yeah, it's make me feel really good when the hot weather is becoming.
✓ Yeah, it makes me feel really good when the hot weather arrives.
Subject 'it' requires third-person singular verb 'makes' not 'make'; 'is becoming' is awkward — use 'arrives' or 'comes' for seasons starting. Suggestion: Ensure verb agrees with subject (it makes) and use natural verbs for events (arrive/come).
× So the cold weather, I don't like it because it's always rain almost a day.
✓ I don't like cold weather because it almost always rains all day.
Use adverb placement 'almost always' and the present simple 'rains' for habitual weather; 'almost a day' is incorrect — use 'all day.' Suggestion: Place adverbs properly and use correct time expressions (all day).
× Well, I prefer wet weather because wet weather would give us numerous benefit and yeah, it can have the plan to grow more, for example, if we don't watering the plant, so the wet weather also watering it instead of us.
✓ I prefer wet weather because it gives us numerous benefits; for example, plants can grow more. If we don't water the plants, the wet weather waters them for us.
Use present simple 'gives' for general truth not 'would give'; plural 'benefits'; 'plants' plural; use base verb 'water' not 'watering' after 'don't'; use correct passive/active structure 'waters them' instead of 'also watering it.' Suggestion: Use present simple for general facts, keep noun/verb forms consistent (benefits, plants), and use base verb after 'don't.'
× Well, I'm not the person who are always checking the weather forecast.
✓ Well, I'm not the person who is always checking the weather forecast.
Relative clause subject 'who' refers to 'person' (singular) so verb should be 'is' not 'are.' Suggestion: Match verb number to the noun the relative pronoun refers to.
× I would say it's it's not an things that is certainly to do because usually my weather, the the weather in my country is actually hot and cold.
✓ I would say it's not something I need to do, because the weather in my country is usually either hot or rainy.
Replace 'an things' with 'something'; avoid redundant 'it's it's'; fix word order and use 'either... or' for two options; 'hot or rainy' is clearer than 'hot and cold.' Suggestion: Use correct singular nouns ('something'), remove redundancies, and simplify sentence structure.
× So yeah, I don't have to check it to expect it.
✓ So yeah, I don't have to check it to predict it.
Use verb 'predict' instead of awkward 'expect' in this context; 'check it to predict it' is clearer though consider 'check the forecast because I already know it.' Suggestion: Use appropriate verbs for meaning (predict = forecast events).
× Well, in recent years there are, uh, numerous reason that can cause to climate change.
✓ Well, in recent years there have been numerous reasons that can cause climate change.
Use present perfect 'have been' to refer to recent years; 'reasons' plural; remove 'to' after 'cause'—'cause climate change' is correct. Suggestion: Use 'have been' for recent continuous situations and correct verb patterns after 'cause.'
× First I would say it because the pollution because it from the car or motor that, uh, produce the bad gas.
✓ First, I would say pollution from cars or motorbikes produces harmful gases.
Use correct prepositions and word order: 'pollution from cars'; use plural 'cars' and 'motorbikes'; verb 'produces' for singular noun 'pollution' or use 'cars... produce' for plural; 'harmful gases' is more natural than 'bad gas.' Suggestion: Simplify sentence: subject (pollution) + from + source + verb + object.
× And 2nd, umm, it from the deforestation.
✓ Secondly, it is from deforestation.
Use 'is from deforestation' or better 'deforestation is another cause.' The original fragments lack proper verb form. Suggestion: Use full clause with verb: 'Deforestation is another cause.'
× Uh, some people, uh, cut down the tree to get money and for business.
✓ Some people cut down trees to make money or for business purposes.
Use plural 'trees' and infinitive 'to make money'; 'for business purposes' is a better phrase; simple present 'cut down' is fine for habitual action. Suggestion: Use plural nouns for general statements and natural nouns/phrases.
× Well, if I have a chance, I would visited different country that have different climate from my own country because yeah, it would be a new experiences for me to live in the new weather and the new situation.
✓ Well, if I have a chance, I would visit different countries that have a different climate from my own, because it would be a new experience for me to live in new weather and situations.
After 'would' use base verb 'visit' not past 'visited'; use plural 'countries' and agreement 'have' with plural; 'a different climate' or 'different climates'; 'experience' singular and 'situations' plural or simplify. Suggestion: Use conditional structure correctly (would + base verb), match plural/singular nouns, and avoid redundant words.
× I mean, uh, the new atmosphere would allow me to feel, uh, quite others AOC.
✓ I mean, the new atmosphere would allow me to feel quite different.
Original sentence is unclear; 'quite different' is a natural adjective phrase. 'Others AOC' is not meaningful. Keep adjective after 'feel.' Suggestion: Use clear, standard adjectives ('different') and avoid unclear abbreviations or words.
