× Well, recently the weather is very nice, is sunny in the morning and getting cold in the evening.
✓ Well, recently the weather has been very nice; it is sunny in the morning and gets cold in the evening.
The original sentence incorrectly uses the simple present tense 'is' and 'getting' to describe recent ongoing conditions. The present perfect tense 'has been' is appropriate to indicate recent continuous states, and 'gets' is the correct simple present form for habitual actions. This improves clarity and grammatical accuracy.
× I mean it's not too dry for my skin and I mean I can take a sunbathe in in the morning.
✓ I mean it's not too dry for my skin, and I can sunbathe in the morning.
The phrase 'take a sunbathe' is incorrect; the correct verb is 'sunbathe' without 'take a'. Also, the repetition of 'I mean' is unnecessary and redundant. Removing extra words and correcting the verb form improves fluency and correctness.
× Cold weather also has me avoid sweating a lot so I feel fresher throughout the day.
✓ Cold weather also helps me avoid sweating a lot, so I feel fresher throughout the day.
The phrase 'has me avoid' is awkward and incorrect in this context. The verb 'help' is more appropriate to express assistance in avoiding sweating. Using 'helps me avoid' is grammatically correct and clearer.
× I definitely prefer dry weather because it feel more it feels more comfortable and convenient.
✓ I definitely prefer dry weather because it feels more comfortable and convenient.
The original sentence contains a repetition and a subject-verb agreement error: 'it feel' should be 'it feels'. Correcting the verb form to agree with the singular subject 'it' and removing redundancy improves grammatical accuracy.
× Also, dry weather makes it easier to go outside and do activities like.
✓ Also, dry weather makes it easier to go outside and do activities like sports or hiking.
The sentence ends abruptly with 'like' without specifying examples, making it incomplete. Adding examples after 'like' completes the sentence and improves clarity.
× Honestly, I checked the weather forecast every day because it's, uh, it helps me choose the most suitable outfit for the day.
✓ Honestly, I check the weather forecast every day because it helps me choose the most suitable outfit for the day.
The use of past tense 'checked' is incorrect when referring to a habitual action. The simple present tense 'check' is appropriate for routines or habits.
× This habit helps me avoid unacceptable.
✓ This habit helps me avoid unexpected problems.
The sentence ends with an incomplete phrase 'avoid unacceptable', which lacks an object. Completing the sentence with a suitable noun phrase clarifies the meaning.
× Well, recently the climate has changed dramatically, which has affected many aspects of our daily lives.
✓ Well, recently the climate has been changing dramatically, which has affected many aspects of our daily lives.
Using present perfect continuous 'has been changing' better expresses ongoing recent changes, while 'has changed' suggests a completed action. This better fits the context of recent ongoing climate change.
× For example, in Vietnam we often experience four or five severe storms each year, each year causing flooding and damage to crops and our economy.
✓ For example, in Vietnam we often experience four or five severe storms each year, which cause flooding and damage to crops and our economy.
The phrase 'each year causing' is a fragment and awkward. Replacing it with 'which cause' correctly links the storms to their effects and ensures subject-verb agreement with plural 'storms' and plural verb 'cause'.
× Definitely in Vietnam I have never experienced snow, so I would love to visit countries like Japan or Canada where it snows in the winter.
✓ Definitely, in Vietnam I have never experienced snow, so I would love to visit countries like Japan or Canada where it snows in winter.
Adding a comma after 'Definitely' improves readability. Also, 'in the winter' can be simplified to 'in winter' for natural expression. The rest is correct.
× I think it would be exciting to see the beautiful autumn leaves and enjoy the cold weather because the climate here is is mostly warm and.
✓ I think it would be exciting to see the beautiful autumn leaves and enjoy the cold weather because the climate here is mostly warm.
The sentence contains a repeated word 'is is' and ends abruptly with 'and.' Removing the repetition and the incomplete conjunction improves grammatical correctness and clarity.
