Hi vaok,
Surely, you are entitled to wait for the native speakers of our forum, but I'd like to mention that I agree with Alex's suggested options and am going to add two more left unanswered Laughing

5. a)The weather in Shanghai is hotter than that in Beijing.
b)The weather here is colder in March than in December.

Could you explain this to me?

in the first and second sentence there's olny a change at the word order. Why the second sentence needs the conjunction and not the first one?

Thanks
