Do you prefer cold or hot weather?
Candidato
I prefer hot weather because I'm a summer person. I like it when the days are long and I can spend time outside with my friends. Cold weather just makes me want to stay at home and do nothing.
Examinador
Do you prefer dry or wet weather?
Candidato
I definitely learned to wear dry weather. It makes life so much easier. No hustle with umbrellas, no wet shoes, and you can just go about your day. That said, I don't mind a rainy day every now and then, especially if I'm staying in. It's quite cozy to just listen to the train from inside. But for everyday life, dry weather wins hands.

Are you in the habit of checking the weather forecast? When and how often?
Candidato
Yeah, I'm definitely in the habit of checking the weather forecast. I probably check it every day. Usually in the morning before I leave the house. I just quickly look off my phone to see if it's going to rain or if it needs to weather something warm. I think it's become a daily routine for me, like brushing my teeth. Uh, sometimes I also check it before the.

What do you think are the effects of climate change in recent years?
Candidato
I think climate change is definitely affecting our planet and we can already see some serious effects in recent years. Firstly, the weather has become much more unpredictable. In my country, for instance, winters are orange as cold as they used to be. When I was a child, we always had a lot of snow in winter, but now it's often rains.

Candidato
Of course, because there were a lot of opportunity for learning about climate in the in other in others country. For example, I live in Russia and we have Four Seasons, but I want to check umm, Africa, for instance, and. Met with their climate.

Do you prefer cold or hot weather?

Можно добавить одно конкретное объяснение или пример, чтобы показать умение развивать мысль. Следите за простотой и естественностью, избегайте повторов («I like it when the days are long» достаточно, не нужно дублировать идеи).

What do you think are the effects of climate change in recent years?
Pontuação: 58.0Sugestão: Исправьте лексические и грамматические ошибки и дайте более конкретные примеры и причинно-следственные связи. Фразы вроде «winters are orange as cold as they used to be» бессмысленны — используйте «not as cold as they used to be»; «it's often rains» → «it often rains».

× Summer are quite mild, not too hot, but.
✓ Summer is quite mild, not too hot.
Subject-verb agreement error: 'Summer' is a singular noun and requires the singular verb 'is' rather than 'are'. Also the sentence fragment 'but.' is incomplete and should be removed or completed. Suggestion: use 'Summer is quite mild, not too hot.' to form a complete present tense statement.
× Winters are golden damped because of the humidity.
✓ Winters are often damp because of the humidity.
Word choice and agreement: 'golden damped' is incorrect phrasing. Likely intended meaning is that winters are damp or gloomy. Use 'often damp' to describe repeated present-tense condition. 'Winters' (plural) agrees with 'are'. Suggestion: say 'Winters are often damp because of the humidity.'
× The one. I really love is the white night in June. It's.
✓ The one I really love is the White Nights in June.
Fragmented sentences and capitalization: 'The one.' is a fragment, and 'white night' should be 'White Nights' (proper noun for the phenomenon). Combine into one sentence and capitalize. Suggestion: 'The one I really love is the White Nights in June.'
× I definitely learned to wear dry weather.
✓ I definitely prefer dry weather.
Incorrect verb and article usage: 'learned to wear dry weather' is ungrammatical. The correct verb collocation is 'prefer dry weather' to express liking. Suggestion: replace with 'I definitely prefer dry weather.'
× No hustle with umbrellas, no wet shoes, and you can just go about your day.
✓ There is no hassle with umbrellas, no wet shoes, and you can just go about your day.
Missing subject and incorrect noun choice: 'No hustle with umbrellas' is informal and missing a subject. Use 'There is no hassle' to fit descriptive present-tense context. Suggestion: 'There is no hassle with umbrellas, no wet shoes, and you can just go about your day.'
× It's quite cozy to just listen to the train from inside.
✓ It's quite cozy to listen to the train from inside.
Adverb placement: 'just' is unnecessary and slightly awkward here; removing it improves fluency. If keeping 'just', place carefully: 'It's quite cozy just to listen to the train from inside.' Suggestion: prefer 'It's quite cozy to listen to the train from inside.'
× But for everyday life, dry weather wins hands.
✓ But for everyday life, dry weather wins hands down.
Missing word and idiom usage: the idiom is 'wins hands down' meaning clearly better. 'Wins hands' is incomplete. Suggestion: 'dry weather wins hands down.'
× I probably check it every day. Usually in the morning before I leave the house.
✓ I probably check it every day, usually in the morning before I leave the house.
Fragment: second sentence 'Usually in the morning...' is a sentence fragment without a verb. Combine with previous clause to form a complete present-tense statement. Suggestion: 'I probably check it every day, usually in the morning before I leave the house.'
× I just quickly look off my phone to see if it's going to rain or if it needs to weather something warm.
✓ I just quickly look at my phone to see if it's going to rain or if I need to wear something warm.
Incorrect preposition and word choice: 'look off my phone' should be 'look at my phone'; 'needs to weather something warm' is wrong—intended meaning is to wear warm clothing, so use 'I need to wear something warm.' Suggestion: 'I just quickly look at my phone to see if it's going to rain or if I need to wear something warm.'
× I think it's become a daily routine for me, like brushing my teeth. Uh, sometimes I also check it before the.
✓ I think it's become a daily routine for me, like brushing my teeth. Sometimes I also check it before I go out.
Fragment and missing words: 'before the.' is an incomplete phrase. Complete the thought with 'before I go out' or 'before I leave the house.' Suggestion: 'Sometimes I also check it before I go out.'
× Firstly, the weather has become much more unpredictable. In my country, for instance, winters are orange as cold as they used to be.
✓ Firstly, the weather has become much more unpredictable. In my country, for instance, winters are not as cold as they used to be.
Word error and negation: 'orange as cold as' is incorrect; likely 'not as cold as'. Use present-tense comparison 'not as cold as they used to be.' Suggestion: 'winters are not as cold as they used to be.'
× When I was a child, we always had a lot of snow in winter, but now it's often rains.
✓ When I was a child, we always had a lot of snow in winter, but now it often rains.
Verb form error: 'it's often rains' mixes 'it is' with a simple present verb. Correct simple present is 'it often rains.' Use past tense 'had' earlier is fine because it's a past habit. Suggestion: 'but now it often rains.'
× Of course, because there were a lot of opportunity for learning about climate in the in other in others country.
✓ Of course, because there are a lot of opportunities for learning about climate in other countries.
Tense and number errors: 'there were' (past) should be present 'there are' when expressing a general present truth; 'opportunity' should be plural 'opportunities'; phrase 'in the in other in others country' is garbled—use 'in other countries.' Suggestion: 'there are a lot of opportunities for learning about climate in other countries.'
× For example, I live in Russia and we have Four Seasons, but I want to check umm, Africa, for instance, and. Met with their climate.
✓ For example, I live in Russia and we have four seasons, but I want to visit Africa, for instance, and experience its climate.
Incorrect verb and preposition use: 'check Africa' is wrong—use 'visit Africa'; 'Met with their climate' is ungrammatical—use 'experience its climate.' Also 'Four Seasons' as common noun should be 'four seasons.' Suggestion: 'I want to visit Africa and experience its climate.'
