× Uh, I would say that where the, that, uh, in my place is a bit the topic a try and hard because Cambodia is in the umm, Southeast Asia.
✓ I would say that the weather in my area is a bit unpredictable and harsh because Cambodia is in Southeast Asia.
Original sentence has disordered structure and unnecessary fillers ('the, that, uh') making meaning unclear. Reorder to subject 'the weather in my area' + verb 'is' + adjectives 'unpredictable and harsh'. Remove redundant articles before 'Southeast Asia' and filler words. Suggestion: plan sentence before speaking, use concise phrases (subject + verb + complement).
× So the weather is a bit like, uh, dry and hot actually.
✓ The weather is usually dry and hot.
Phrase 'a bit like' is informal and vague; 'actually' is unnecessary. Use simple present 'is' to describe typical climate. Keep adjective order 'dry and hot'.
× But recently the weather is a bit cold because it turned to cozy.
✓ But recently the weather has become a bit cooler because it turned cozy.
Use present perfect 'has become' to show change up to now. 'A bit cold' -> 'a bit cooler' fits comparative meaning. 'Turned to cozy' is unnatural; use 'turned cozy' or 'became cozy'.
× I personally prefer cold weather because I I working in the marketing field so I travel a lot to the province so when the weather is hot it make me easily get sweat so it make my body feel stinky so I don't want to smell that when I'm working with my colleagues.
✓ I prefer cold weather because I work in marketing and travel a lot to the provinces, so when the weather is hot I sweat easily and my body smells bad, which I don't want when I'm working with colleagues.
Errors: missing verb form ('I working' -> 'I work'); subject-verb agreement ('it make' -> 'it makes'); awkward phrasing 'get sweat' -> 'sweat' and 'feel stinky' -> 'smells bad'. Combine clauses for clarity and use proper verb forms. Suggest practicing simple present statements and checking subject-verb agreement.
× Even though I love cooler weather or cooler season, but I don't like weights better.
✓ Even though I love cooler seasons, I don't prefer wet weather.
Original mixes 'cooler weather or cooler season' redundantly and uses 'weights' incorrectly for 'wet'. Remove conjunction redundancy ('Even though' + 'but') and use correct adjective 'wet'.
× Uh, when the the atmosphere become wet, it's like a rainy seasons.
✓ When the atmosphere becomes wet, it's like the rainy season.
Use singular/plural consistency: 'become' -> 'becomes' for third-person singular; 'a rainy seasons' -> 'the rainy season'. Remove duplicate 'the the'.
× It's hard for me to go outside. So we need to carry a raincoat or umbrella with yourself.
✓ It's hard for me to go outside, so I need to carry a raincoat or umbrella with me.
Pronoun inconsistency: started with 'me' then used 'we' and 'yourself'. Keep perspective consistent: use 'I' and 'me' or 'you' for general advice. Use object pronoun 'me' after 'with'.
× It's so heavy for me to carry all those thing and I could not try the motor.
✓ It's heavy for me to carry all those things and I cannot ride a motorcycle.
Errors: 'all those thing' -> 'all those things' (plural), 'could not try the motor' is unclear; likely meaning 'cannot ride a motorcycle'. Use modal 'cannot' for present inability and correct noun 'motorcycle'.
× I typically checks the weather about the their forecast, whether it, uh, rain or not, because it can prevent, prevent me from getting wet And when only when I travel to like for the long distance like to other province, it's really crucial for me to check the weather forecast to know that.
✓ I typically check the weather forecast to see whether it will rain because it prevents me from getting wet. When I travel long distances to other provinces, it's important for me to check the forecast.
Errors: 'checks' should be 'check' with subject 'I'; 'the their forecast' redundant; tense and structure improved: use 'see whether it will rain' for future possibility; remove repeated words and extra fillers. Break into two sentences for clarity.
× I would say, uh, the main effect of the climate change in recent year, I would say that about the air pollution, the PM 2.5 nowadays search dramatically because of the air pollution that we use from the vehicle.
✓ I would say the main effect of climate change in recent years is increased air pollution. PM2.5 levels have risen dramatically because of vehicle emissions.
Articles: 'the climate change' -> 'climate change' (no article); 'in recent year' -> 'in recent years' (plural). 'Search dramatically' is wrong; use 'have risen dramatically'. 'Air pollution that we use from the vehicle' -> 'vehicle emissions'. Use present perfect to show recent change.
× So it really affect to the, uh, climate change and environmental issue.
✓ So it really affects climate change and environmental issues.
Do not use 'affect to'; use 'affects' with direct object. Use plural 'issues' for broader problems. Add 's' for third-person singular 'affects'.
× Yes. I would like to travel to the northern part of Cambodia where it is called, uh, Madokri province.
✓ Yes, I would like to travel to the northern part of Cambodia called Madokri Province.
Minor style: remove extra filler 'where it is called' and place name directly. Capitalize proper noun 'Province'. Use simple conditional 'would like to travel' is fine.
× I heard that the weather there is cooler, uh, because of umm, the forest and the highest mountain there.
✓ I heard that the weather there is cooler because of the forests and the high mountains.
Use plural 'forests' and 'mountains' generally, and 'highest' isn't necessary; 'high' is more natural. Remove filler words. Ensure noun-adjective agreement.
× It's create the cold atmosphere.
✓ They create the cool atmosphere.
Subject-verb agreement and word choice: 'It's create' incorrect; use plural subject 'They' (forests and mountains) and verb 'create'. Use 'cool' instead of 'cold' for milder description. Ensure subject refers to previous nouns.
× So I would love to try and I would love to travel there for the future.
✓ So I would love to go and travel there in the future.
'Try' is inappropriate for visiting a place; use 'go'. 'For the future' -> 'in the future'. Keep consistent conditional 'would love to'.
