Weather— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Try to reduce the use of fillers like 'umm' and 'uh' to make your answer sound more natural and fluent. Also, avoid contradictory statements such as 'hot and humid' and 'humid and cold' in winter without clarification. Provide clearer, more coherent descriptions with linking words.

例: I live in Taipei, Taiwan, where the weather is generally hot and humid. However, during winter, it becomes cooler but still quite humid, which can be uncomfortable.

提案: Avoid repetition such as 'I I' and use linking words to connect ideas smoothly. Also, try to expand your answer with specific reasons or examples to enrich the content.

例: I definitely prefer cold weather because I tend to sweat a lot in hot and humid conditions like in Taiwan. For instance, during summer, the heat makes me feel uncomfortable, so I wish the climate here was cooler.

提案: Good use of linking to previous answer. To improve, avoid minor grammatical errors such as 'a dry weather' (should be 'dry weather'). Also, try to provide more specific supporting details or examples.

例: As I mentioned earlier, I sweat a lot and dislike high humidity. Therefore, I prefer dry weather because it feels more comfortable and helps me stay cool throughout the day.

提案: Try to avoid fillers like 'uh' and improve sentence structure for clarity, e.g., 'to make a plan what to wear' should be 'to plan what to wear'. Use linking words to connect ideas smoothly.

例: Yes, I check the weather forecast almost every day because it helps me plan what to wear and avoid feeling too hot and sweaty.

提案: Avoid repetition and fillers such as 'it it' and 'to be, to be to be'. Use more precise vocabulary and linking words to make your answer clearer and more coherent. Also, try to elaborate more on the effects with specific examples.

例: I think the effects of climate change are quite clear. For instance, this year in Taiwan, we hardly had an autumn; it went straight from summer to winter, which I found quite surprising.

提案: Reduce the use of fillers like 'uh' and improve grammar, e.g., 'different weathers' should be 'different weather'. Use linking words to connect ideas and provide more specific reasons or examples.

例: Yes, I would love to visit cities with different weather from my home because the hot and humid climate here can be uncomfortable. For example, I would like to visit a colder and drier place to experience a change in climate.

× I definitely prefer a cold weather because I sweat a lot.

✓ I definitely prefer cold weather because I sweat a lot.

The word 'weather' is an uncountable noun and should not be preceded by the indefinite article 'a'. Using 'a cold weather' is incorrect; the correct form is 'cold weather'.

× the humidity make me sweat more.

✓ the humidity makes me sweat more.

The subject 'humidity' is singular, so the verb should be in the third person singular form 'makes' instead of 'make'. This is a subject-verb agreement issue related to singular and plural forms.

× I prefer a dry weather because it would be more comfortable for me and not making me sweat that much.

✓ I prefer dry weather because it would be more comfortable for me and not make me sweat that much.

Again, 'weather' is uncountable and should not have the article 'a'. Also, 'not making me sweat' should be corrected to 'not make me sweat' to maintain parallel structure and correct verb form after 'would be'.

× I have to, uh, make a plan what to wear the next day and preventing me to be too hot and sweat too much.

✓ I have to, uh, make a plan about what to wear the next day and prevent myself from being too hot and sweating too much.

The original sentence has incorrect structure: 'make a plan what to wear' should be 'make a plan about what to wear'. Also, 'preventing me to be' is incorrect; it should be 'prevent myself from being'. This corrects the verb forms and prepositions for clarity and grammatical accuracy.

× So yeah, I check it on the daily basis.

✓ So yeah, I check it on a daily basis.

The phrase 'on the daily basis' is incorrect; the correct idiomatic expression is 'on a daily basis'. The article 'a' is used here to indicate frequency.

× it it didn't seem to be a autumn, it just summer and then we go straight into the winter.

✓ it didn't seem to be an autumn, it was just summer and then we went straight into winter.

'Autumn' begins with a vowel sound, so the article should be 'an' not 'a'. Also, 'summer' and 'winter' as seasons are uncountable and do not need articles. Additionally, verb tenses are corrected to past tense to match the time frame.

× we go straight into the winter.

✓ we went straight into winter.

The sentence refers to a past event, so the verb should be in the past tense 'went' instead of 'go'. Also, 'winter' does not require 'the' when referring to the season generally.

× cities that have different weathers from my home

✓ cities that have different weather from my home

'Weather' is an uncountable noun and does not have a plural form. Using 'weathers' is incorrect; the correct form is 'weather'.
