Today's Weather!

Today it was quite hot. When the weather is too hot, I cannot stay in my room. So, I go outside for a walk. if it rains, I am usually happy because I can stay in my room and study. I am not against hot weather, it is just that I cannot study when it is hot.

Today it was quite hot.

When the weather igets too hot, I cannot stay in my room.

So, I gowent outside for a walk.

Since you mentioned was quite hot, I changed this to past tense

if it rains, I am usually happy because I can stay in my room and study.

I am not against hot weather, ibut it's just that I cannot study when it igets hot.

Thanks a lot for your help!

Today, it was quite hot.

You generally need a comma when adverbial phrases are at the beginning of a sentence.

When the weather is too hot, I cannot stay in my room.

SoBecause of that, I go outside for a walk.

"So" is fine verbally, but in writing, it makes the sentence sound incomplete. Some people wouldn't use "because" at the beginning of a sentence, but to me it's fine as long as it doesn't result in a sentence fragment.

Personally, I might use "will" before "go," but I think it is fine as is.

ifWhen it rains, I am usually happy because I can stay in my room and study.

"If it rains" would be understood, but "when" makes more sense to me.

I am not against hot weather,; it is just that I cannot study when it is hot.

The two clauses are complete in themselves, so punctuation to designate that or a conjunction is needed. There are certain times when it is stylistically appropriate to omit conjunctions and use commas, but generally, those fall into one of these categories:
- Have more than two items
- Itemized phrase is relatively short.

Great! As spoken English, this would have been fine. My corrections were more to do with writing conventions.

Good entry! Your English is pretty good. I basically tried to make the entry sound more natural. For example, "cannot" --> "can't" is better in conversational English. "cannot" is more formal and puts more emphasis on the word. I also joined one of your sentences to make it not sound awkward.
