Part 1

Examiner

What's the weather like where you live?

Candidate

Well, I live in Shenzhen, which is a very beautiful seaside city, but it has not a very clear fall season. It's very hot all year round, especially in summer. From about April to October, you can see people in the road always wearing T-shirts.

Examiner

Do you prefer cold or hot weather?

Candidate

Actually I prefer the cold weather because there are the flower heating in every room, so in the winter you will feel comfortable, but in some areas of hot weather they needn't install the machine. So it's very cold in the winter and you always need to take a shower in summer because of it will let you sweat.

Examiner

Do you prefer dry or wet weather?

Candidate

Actually, I prefer dry weather. I'm that kind of person who likes outdoor activities. So I can go outside and capture the beautiful scenery if the weather is sunny. But if it's always raining, I cannot go outside, which is very bothersome.

Examiner

Are you in the habit of checking the weather forecast? When and how often?

Candidate

Yes, I will always check the weather forecast once a day. It can tell me that what should I wear today and if I need to apply the sunscreen. What's more, if it is rainy today, I need to take an umbrella, which is very useful.

Examiner

What do you think are the effects of climate change in recent years?

Candidate

I think it really influence people a lot, especially in some big cities. A lot of policy restricts people to use their a few car because it will emit the carbon dioxide which will threaten the biodiversity.

Examiner

Would you like to visit other cities that have different climates from where you live?

Candidate

Absolutely, yes. Now I live in Shenzhen, I really tired of the hot weather there and I want to go to some cold places, especially in the northern Europe, and I really want to go to the city Oslo and to see the spectacular Aurora.

Part 1

What's the weather like where you live?

Score: 72.0

Suggestion: Be more concise and correct grammar. Start with a direct topic sentence, then give two specific supporting details (temperature and seasonal patterns). Avoid redundancy and fix grammar (e.g., "it does not have" not "it has not"). Use linking words like "however" or "for example."

Example: I live in Shenzhen, a beautiful seaside city. However, we don't have a distinct autumn—it's hot most of the year. For example, from April to October people usually wear T‑shirts because temperatures remain high.

Do you prefer cold or hot weather?

Score: 58.0

Suggestion: Clarify your reasons and correct factual and grammar errors. Begin with a clear topic sentence stating preference, then give two concise, specific reasons and link them logically. Avoid unclear phrases like "flower heating" and incorrect use of negatives. Use linking words such as "because" and "however."

Example: I prefer cold weather because indoor heating makes winters comfortable. Also, I find hot summers unpleasant since they make you sweat and feel sticky, so I enjoy cooler temperatures that let me be more active outdoors.

Do you prefer dry or wet weather?

Score: 80.0

Suggestion: Good structure and clarity. Improve by adding one specific example and using a linking word to connect points. Replace generic phrases like "that kind of person" with more precise language.

Example: I prefer dry weather because I enjoy outdoor activities like hiking and photography. For example, on sunny days I often go to the coast to take photos, but continuous rain would prevent these plans.

Are you in the habit of checking the weather forecast? When and how often?

Score: 78.0

Suggestion: Answer is direct but needs slightly cleaner grammar and a clearer time reference. Use present simple for habits and concise linking words. Give a specific time when you check and one concrete example of how the forecast affects your plans.

Example: Yes, I check the weather forecast once every morning. It helps me decide what to wear and whether to apply sunscreen; for instance, if rain is predicted I'll bring an umbrella.

What do you think are the effects of climate change in recent years?

Score: 60.0

Suggestion: Be more precise and give specific examples of effects. Correct grammar ("influences", "policies restrict people from using private cars"). Mention clear consequences (heatwaves, sea-level rise, air pollution) and link them to policies. Use one or two supporting details or examples.

Example: I think climate change has caused more heatwaves and worsening air quality in big cities. As a result, many governments have introduced policies to reduce private car use and lower CO2 emissions to protect public health and biodiversity.

Would you like to visit other cities that have different climates from where you live?

Score: 74.0

Suggestion: Good enthusiasm but improve grammar and add a reason and one specific detail. Start with a topic sentence stating desire, then give reasons and a linked specific example of a place and activity. Correct tense/word choice ("I'm really tired of", "northern Europe", "Oslo").

Example: Yes, I would. I'm tired of Shenzhen's heat and would love to visit colder places in northern Europe. For example, I want to go to Oslo to see the spectacular Aurora Borealis and experience snowy landscapes.

Grammar

Incorrect use of the definite article

× Well, I live in Shenzhen, which is a very beautiful seaside city, but it has not a very clear fall season.

Well, I live in Shenzhen, which is a very beautiful seaside city, but it does not have a very clear fall season.

The original uses 'has not' with a noun phrase where 'does not have' is the correct negative form for possession in present simple. Use 'does not have' to match subject-verb agreement and standard negative construction with 'have' as a main verb.

Present tense issue

× It's very hot all year round, especially in summer.

It is very hot all year round, especially in summer.

Contraction 'It's' is acceptable in speech, but for clarity and formality use 'It is'. No grammar error otherwise; this suggestion is optional stylistic consistency.

Incorrect use of prepositions

× From about April to October, you can see people in the road always wearing T-shirts.

From about April to October, you can see people on the road always wearing T-shirts.

The correct preposition for being located on a street is 'on' not 'in'. Also adverb placement 'always wearing T-shirts' is acceptable; keep 'always' before the verb phrase.

Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs

× Actually I prefer the cold weather because there are the flower heating in every room, so in the winter you will feel comfortable, but in some areas of hot weather they needn't install the machine.

Actually I prefer cold weather because there is central heating in every room, so in the winter you feel comfortable, but in some hot areas they do not need to install the system.

Multiple issues: 'the cold weather' -> 'cold weather' (article unnecessary), 'there are the flower heating' is incorrect word choice and number; use 'there is central heating' (singular, uncountable). 'will feel' -> 'feel' fits habitual/general statements (present simple). 'needn't install the machine' -> 'do not need to install the system' uses correct negation and more natural vocabulary.

Incorrect use of pronouns

× So it's very cold in the winter and you always need to take a shower in summer because of it will let you sweat.

So it's very cold in the winter and you always sweat in summer because the heat makes you sweat.

Original mixes awkward pronoun 'it will let you sweat' and unnatural verb 'need to take a shower' as cause. Use direct causal phrasing: 'the heat makes you sweat.' Also 'always need to take a shower' is overstated; 'you always sweat' describes the effect more clearly.

Incorrect use of pronouns

× Actually, I prefer dry weather. I'm that kind of person who likes outdoor activities.

Actually, I prefer dry weather. I'm the kind of person who likes outdoor activities.

Use 'the kind of person' rather than 'that kind' in this context. 'That' can be used but 'the kind' is more natural when describing one's own preference.

Present tense issue

× So I can go outside and capture the beautiful scenery if the weather is sunny.

So I can go outside and enjoy the beautiful scenery if the weather is sunny.

'Capture the beautiful scenery' is understandable but non-idiomatic when referring to experiencing scenery; 'enjoy' or 'take photos of' are clearer. Tense is correct (present for general truth).

Incorrect use of conjunctions

× But if it's always raining, I cannot go outside, which is very bothersome.

But if it's always raining, I cannot go outside, which is very inconvenient.

'Bothersome' is not wrong but 'inconvenient' better fits the context of being unable to go out. No major grammar error; this is a lexical improvement.

Present tense issue

× Yes, I will always check the weather forecast once a day.

Yes, I always check the weather forecast once a day.

For habitual actions, use present simple ('I always check') rather than 'will' which can imply future willingness. Keep 'once a day' to specify frequency.

Incorrect use of pronouns

× It can tell me that what should I wear today and if I need to apply the sunscreen.

It can tell me what I should wear today and whether I need to apply sunscreen.

Remove unnecessary 'that' and reorder the embedded question to statement form: 'what I should wear' (not 'what should I wear'). Use 'whether' for alternatives and drop the article before 'sunscreen' which is uncountable here.

Incorrect use of pronouns

× What's more, if it is rainy today, I need to take an umbrella, which is very useful.

What's more, if it is rainy today, I need to take an umbrella, which is very useful.

Sentence is grammatically acceptable. Minor style: 'rainy' works; alternative 'if it's raining today' is more natural continuous form.

Present tense issue

× I think it really influence people a lot, especially in some big cities.

I think it really influences people a lot, especially in some big cities.

Subject-verb agreement: 'it' (climate change) requires third person singular verb 'influences' in present simple.

Incorrect use of quantifiers

× A lot of policy restricts people to use their a few car because it will emit the carbon dioxide which will threaten the biodiversity.

Many policies restrict people from using their cars because they emit carbon dioxide, which threatens biodiversity.

Several issues: 'A lot of policy' -> 'Many policies' (countable). 'restricts people to use' -> 'restrict people from using' (correct verb-preposition). 'their a few car' -> 'their cars' (plural). 'the carbon dioxide' -> 'carbon dioxide' (no article). Use present simple 'threatens' for general truth.

Present tense issue

× Absolutely, yes. Now I live in Shenzhen, I really tired of the hot weather there and I want to go to some cold places, especially in the northern Europe, and I really want to go to the city Oslo and to see the spectacular Aurora.

Absolutely. I live in Shenzhen now; I am really tired of the hot weather there and I want to go to some cold places, especially in northern Europe. I really want to go to Oslo and see the spectacular aurora borealis.

Multiple corrections: 'I really tired' -> 'I am really tired' (missing auxiliary 'am'). 'the northern Europe' -> 'northern Europe' (no article). 'the city Oslo' -> 'Oslo' (no 'the city'). 'to see the spectacular Aurora' -> 'see the spectacular aurora borealis' (natural phrasing). Use present simple for current state and desire.
