× This is very traffic and crowded place and but I love it because there are many things to see and do.
✓ This is a very busy and crowded place, but I love it because there are many things to see and do.
The word 'traffic' is a noun and cannot be used as an adjective here. The correct adjective is 'busy' to describe a place with a lot of traffic. Also, 'and but' is incorrect conjunction usage; only 'but' is needed. Adding the article 'a' before 'very busy and crowded place' is necessary because 'place' is singular countable noun.
× Uh, everyone is very friendly and helpful, and after that the street food is very tasty and cheap rate.
✓ Uh, everyone is very friendly and helpful, and also the street food is very tasty and cheap.
The phrase 'after that' is incorrectly used here; 'also' or 'and' is appropriate to add information. 'Cheap rate' is incorrect; 'cheap' alone is sufficient as an adjective to describe the food's price.
× I have been lived here, uh, since 20 years.
✓ I have lived here for 20 years.
The present perfect continuous 'have been lived' is incorrect because 'live' is a stative verb and does not use continuous form. Also, 'since' is used with a point in time, but '20 years' is a duration, so 'for' is the correct preposition.
× My father built a building in this Dhaka city and we are very happy to stay here.
✓ My father built a building in Dhaka city and we are very happy to live here.
The phrase 'in this Dhaka city' is awkward; 'in Dhaka city' is more natural. Also, 'to stay here' is less appropriate for permanent residence; 'to live here' is better.
× Absolutely, Dhaka city is a pool of modern city. Now life, because there are there are people are very friendly and healthfully and young people can stay here freely and comfortably.
✓ Absolutely, Dhaka city is a modern city. Life is good because the people are very friendly and healthy, and young people can live here freely and comfortably.
The phrase 'a pool of modern city' is incorrect; 'a modern city' is correct. 'Now life' is unclear and should be 'Life is good'. 'Healthfully' is an adverb but the adjective 'healthy' is needed to describe people. 'Stay here' is less appropriate than 'live here' for residence.
