× Actually I live in in the southern part of Bangladesh so it's the sea facing area.
✓ Actually I live in the southern part of Bangladesh, so it's the sea-facing area.
The phrase 'in in' is a repetition error; only one 'in' is needed. Also, 'sea facing' should be hyphenated as 'sea-facing' when used as a compound adjective before a noun. Adding a comma before 'so' improves sentence clarity.
× But Bangladesh has six season but mostly there is rain for six month and after that a few sunny days and monsoon.
✓ But Bangladesh has six seasons, and mostly there is rain for six months; after that, a few sunny days and monsoon.
'Season' and 'month' should be plural as they refer to multiple periods. Also, the sentence needs conjunctions and punctuation for clarity. 'A few sunny days and monsoon' is incomplete; adding punctuation separates ideas clearly.
× I mostly prefer cold weather because in this weather we get less sweating and we can go out and stay out for a long period for job or study purpose.
✓ I mostly prefer cold weather because in this weather we sweat less and can go out and stay out for a long period for job or study purposes.
'Get less sweating' is incorrect; 'sweat less' is the proper expression. Also, 'for job or study purpose' should be pluralized to 'purposes' to indicate general use.
× I mostly prefer dry weather because we have some jobs to do outside in the day, but wet weather is another love but for the real reason dry weather is better.
✓ I mostly prefer dry weather because we have some jobs to do outside during the day. Wet weather is another love, but for the real reason, dry weather is better.
The sentence is run-on with multiple 'but's. Splitting into two sentences and adding commas improves clarity and correctness.
× Actually, I don't have that such kind of habit, but when something different happened like the tsunami or the tornado, then cyclone, then I checked the weather update.
✓ Actually, I don't have that kind of habit, but when something different happens, like a tsunami, a tornado, or a cyclone, I check the weather update.
'That such kind of habit' is incorrect; 'that kind of habit' is correct. Also, tense consistency requires present tense 'happens' and 'check' since the habit is general. Articles 'a' are needed before 'tsunami', 'tornado', and 'cyclone'.
× Climate change a lot in recent years, especially in my country.
✓ Climate has changed a lot in recent years, especially in my country.
The original sentence lacks a verb; 'Climate change a lot' is incomplete. Adding 'has changed' forms the present perfect tense, indicating an action over recent years.
× Used to have six season in a year, but nowadays we got only three of them, the rainy season and the summer and the monsoon.
✓ We used to have six seasons in a year, but nowadays we have only three of them: the rainy season, the summer, and the monsoon.
'Season' should be plural 'seasons'. The sentence needs a subject 'We' and past tense 'used to have'. Also, 'got' is informal; 'have' is better here. Colons and commas improve list clarity.
× Yes, there is a city in India where winter is for nine months in a year.
✓ Yes, there is a city in India where winter lasts for nine months in a year.
'Winter is for nine months' is awkward; 'winter lasts for nine months' is the correct expression to indicate duration.
× So as a winter fan, I like to visit this place and live for a certain moment and enjoy the winter view.
✓ So, as a winter fan, I would like to visit this place, live there for a certain time, and enjoy the winter view.
'Live for a certain moment' is incorrect; 'live there for a certain time' is better. Also, 'would like' expresses desire more politely. Adding commas improves readability.
