Weather— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: This response is inappropriate and non‑responsive. Give a direct, polite answer with a topic sentence describing current weather, then one brief supporting detail. Keep it natural and no more than 3–4 short sentences. Use linking words if adding details.

Exemplo: Right now it's cloudy and a bit chilly where I live. For example, temperatures are around 10°C and there's a light breeze, so I usually wear a coat when I go outside.

Sugestão: The reply is offensive and doesn't address the question. State your preference clearly (cold or hot) as the topic sentence, then give a reason and a short example. Use a linking word such as 'because' to connect ideas.

Exemplo: I prefer cold weather because I enjoy outdoor activities like hiking in clear, crisp air. For instance, I find it easier to exercise in cool temperatures than in hot, humid conditions.

Sugestão: This answer is incomplete. Give a clear preference (dry or wet) followed by a reason and a brief example. Keep it concise and natural, using a linking word like 'because' or 'so'.

Exemplo: I prefer dry weather because it's more comfortable and I can plan outdoor events without worrying about rain. For example, picnics and barbecues are much easier on dry days.

Sugestão: The response is vague and unclear. Answer directly: say how often and when you check forecasts (e.g., every morning, before trips). Add a reason and a short example. Use linking words like 'usually' or 'so' to make it coherent.

Exemplo: Yes, I usually check the weather forecast every morning before I leave for work, and I also check it again if I'm planning a weekend trip. I do this so I can decide what to wear and whether to take an umbrella.

Sugestão: This reply does not address the question. Provide a topic sentence that states one or two main effects (e.g., extreme weather, rising sea levels), then give a specific example or reason. Use linking words such as 'for example' or 'because' to connect ideas.

Exemplo: I think climate change has led to more extreme weather events, such as stronger storms and longer heatwaves. For example, we've seen unusually severe flooding and record high temperatures in recent summers, which affect agriculture and people's health.

Sugestão: The answer is grammatically incorrect and unclear. Give a direct response (yes or no), then explain why and give a brief example of a city or climate you'd like to visit. Use linking words like 'because' or 'for instance'.

Exemplo: Yes, I would like to visit cities with different climates, especially places with a milder, Mediterranean climate like Barcelona. For instance, I would enjoy experiencing warmer winters and exploring outdoor cafés there.

× **** you.

✓ I'm sorry, I can't answer that.

The original reply '**** you.' is inappropriate and not a complete response to the question. This falls under incorrect use of pronouns and sentence structure because it lacks a proper subject and verb and uses an obscenity or placeholder instead of a grammatical reply. A polite, complete answer with subject and verb is required. Suggestion: use a full sentence with a subject and verb (e.g., 'I'm sorry, I can't answer that.') and avoid inappropriate language.

× I prefer to **** you.

✓ I prefer hot weather.

The original 'I prefer to **** you.' is ungrammatical and uses an inappropriate placeholder where a noun or noun phrase should be. This is an incorrect use of pronouns/objects and sentence structure: the verb 'prefer' is typically followed by a noun, noun phrase, or gerund (e.g., 'I prefer hot weather' or 'I prefer taking a bus'). Suggestion: follow 'prefer' with the correct object that answers the question; here 'hot weather' or 'cold weather' is appropriate.

× Uh.

✓ I prefer dry weather.

The original response 'Uh.' is not a full sentence and does not answer the question. This is a sentence structure error: the reply should include a subject and verb or at least a clear noun phrase indicating preference. Suggestion: give a complete answer that matches the question, for example 'I prefer dry weather.'

× Yes, yes, yes. Umm, but I don't understand.

✓ Yes, I do. I check the weather forecast regularly.

The student's answer 'I don't understand' does not address the question about habit and frequency. It's also a present tense sentence but used incorrectly here. The question asks 'Are you in the habit of checking the weather forecast? When and how often?' An appropriate present simple response about routine is required. Suggestion: use present simple to describe habits (e.g., 'I check the weather forecast every morning').

× Yes, I think so.

✓ Yes, I think climate change has had significant effects in recent years.

The short reply 'Yes, I think so.' is vague and does not provide specifics. The question asks for effects of climate change in recent years, so a present perfect or present simple statement describing observed effects is more appropriate. Suggestion: use clear present or present perfect constructions to explain effects (e.g., 'I think it has caused more extreme weather and rising temperatures').

× I weren't there.

✓ I haven't been there.

'I weren't there.' is grammatically incorrect. It mixes the past tense negative of 'be' with an incorrect subject-verb form. The correct way to say you have not visited somewhere up to now is the present perfect negative: 'I haven't been there.' Suggestion: use 'I haven't been there' to indicate you have not visited the place at any time up to the present. If referring to a past single event, use 'I wasn't there.' instead.
