Can you explain the sentence pattern “what better way to do…than doing?” Why not “what is the better way to …”?
This is an elegant way of making a point and it’s worth learning. The way it works is by using words which do not appear in the sentence but which are understood to be there.In the sentence: What better way to spend an afternoon than by messing about in boats? the words is there are understood to exist. So the meaning of the sentence is: What better way is there to spend an afternoon than by messing about in boats?But in this form of expression, you don’t say is there; the words are understood, not spoken.
Can someone help me rewrite this sentence to make it sound good and tell me why its not right?
Your sentence is not wrong completely but it lacks subject verb clarity. Also, a question asked preceded by statement is not correct grammatically. Moreover "how much longer " is inappropriate grammatically. Better way to write could be : How long can our ears tolerate exposure to noise? is the alarming question with the Sound pollution.
What is a better way to frame a sentence while writing?
Depends upon whom you are writing for and what the objective is. If you are writing to impress, you may use big words. But more often than not, good writing is just a combination of lucid grammar (sentence structure, punctuation, spellings) and easy-to-understand words that communicate what you want to say, rather than confusing the reader.Avoid using sms language and avoid using slang, unless that is the objective. If you can pepper your writing with good (and appropriate) figures of speech, even better.
Could you please check my grammar? how can i write this sentence in much better way?

Where do I properly put the commas in this sentence?
"As much as we want to believe that success is only based off of hard work, the cold hard truth is that the ability to be successful is much more complicated than what we perceive it to be." I wanna say there should be a comma between "hard" and "truth" but I'm not exactly sure because then I feel there would be too much commas since there is already one after "work"

Should it be "way better" or "much better"?
Much better is grammatically correct and always acceptable in any context. He’s feeling much better today.Far better is also a good option. This hotel is far better than the one we stayed in last year.Way better isn’t wrong, but it can sound less formal in some situations. The best way to use this phrase is when you want to suggest that a person has come a long way toward a goal or desired outcome. She sings way better now that she’s had lessons. (She has come a long way in her progress toward being a good singer)
Is the word "harden" correct in this sentence?
That's a tough one. I wouldn't write the sentence that way. The word "difficult"--as in "make lives more difficult" would be a much better choice than the word "hard"--as in "make lives harder." Grammatically, it is correct. But usage-wise, it really isn't. Hope that helps.
