× In contrast, in winter we have a lot of snows because my city located close to the Sea of Japan, which affects the climate.
✓ In contrast, in winter we have a lot of snow because my city is located close to the Sea of Japan, which affects the climate.
The word 'snows' is incorrect here because 'snow' is an uncountable noun and should not be pluralized. Also, the verb 'located' is missing the auxiliary verb 'is' to form the correct present tense passive voice.
× In contrast, in winter we have a lot of snows because my city located close to the Sea of Japan, which affects the climate.
✓ In contrast, in winter we have a lot of snow because my city is located close to the Sea of Japan, which affects the climate.
The verb 'located' needs the auxiliary verb 'is' to form the present participle passive voice 'is located'. Without 'is', the sentence is grammatically incorrect.
× I really like cold rather than hot weather because, uh, we can enjoy a lot of activities like ski, skiing and snowballs, and also there are a lot of delicious food in cold season, so I really like cold.
✓ I really like cold rather than hot weather because, uh, we can enjoy a lot of activities like skiing and snowball fights, and also there is a lot of delicious food in the cold season, so I really like cold.
The word 'ski' should be 'skiing' to correctly refer to the activity. 'Snowballs' should be 'snowball fights' to make sense as an activity. 'Food' is uncountable, so 'a lot of delicious food' is correct but 'there are' should be 'there is'. Also, 'cold season' needs the definite article 'the'.
× I really like cold rather than hot weather because, uh, we can enjoy a lot of activities like ski, skiing and snowballs, and also there are a lot of delicious food in cold season, so I really like cold.
✓ I really like cold rather than hot weather because, uh, we can enjoy a lot of activities like skiing and snowball fights, and also there is a lot of delicious food in the cold season, so I really like cold.
The preposition 'in' is correct but the phrase 'cold season' requires the definite article 'the' to be grammatically correct: 'in the cold season'.
× I prefer dry weather to wet weather because in wet weather my hair is always become messy due to the wet weather, so I prefer to dry weather because it feels smoke.
✓ I prefer dry weather to wet weather because in wet weather my hair always becomes messy due to the wet weather, so I prefer dry weather because it feels comfortable.
The verb phrase 'is always become' is incorrect; it should be 'always becomes' to agree with the singular subject 'hair'. Also, 'prefer to dry weather' is incorrect; it should be 'prefer dry weather'. The phrase 'it feels smoke' is unclear and likely a mistake; 'comfortable' is a better choice.
× I prefer dry weather to wet weather because in wet weather my hair is always become messy due to the wet weather, so I prefer to dry weather because it feels smoke.
✓ I prefer dry weather to wet weather because in wet weather my hair always becomes messy due to the wet weather, so I prefer dry weather because it feels comfortable.
The verb 'become' should be 'becomes' to agree with the singular subject 'hair' in the present tense.
× I prefer dry weather to wet weather because in wet weather my hair is always become messy due to the wet weather, so I prefer to dry weather because it feels smoke.
✓ I prefer dry weather to wet weather because in wet weather my hair always becomes messy due to the wet weather, so I prefer dry weather because it feels comfortable.
The phrase 'prefer to dry weather' is incorrect; the correct preposition is omitted. It should be 'prefer dry weather' without 'to' in this context.
× Yes, I have a habit of checking the weather forecast in the morning. Every morning a while I I'm eating breakfast, I always check the weather on TV because I want to know the weather.
✓ Yes, I have a habit of checking the weather forecast in the morning. Every morning while I'm eating breakfast, I always check the weather on TV because I want to know the weather.
The phrase 'Every morning a while I I'm eating breakfast' is ungrammatical and confusing. It should be 'Every morning while I'm eating breakfast' to correctly express the time when the action happens.
× I think depending too much on trains, buses and the cars which emit a lot of carbon dioxide is a big factor of climate change in recent years.
✓ I think depending too much on trains, buses, and cars which emit a lot of carbon dioxide is a big factor in climate change in recent years.
The phrase 'the cars' is incorrect here; 'cars' without 'the' is more appropriate when speaking generally. Also, 'factor of' should be 'factor in'.
× I think depending too much on trains, buses and the cars which emit a lot of carbon dioxide is a big factor of climate change in recent years.
✓ I think depending too much on trains, buses, and cars which emit a lot of carbon dioxide is a big factor in climate change in recent years.
The phrase 'factor of' is incorrect; the correct preposition is 'factor in' when referring to contributing factors.
× I think more people should use bicycle.
✓ I think more people should use bicycles.
The noun 'bicycle' should be plural 'bicycles' because 'more people' implies multiple individuals each using a bicycle.
× Yes, I think so. Uh, in my country there are a lot of they, a lot of rainy days.
✓ Yes, I think so. Uh, in my country there are a lot of rainy days.
The phrase 'a lot of they' is incorrect and unnecessary. It should be removed to make the sentence grammatically correct.
