× I don't often go to the library nowadays because I feel I can find everything online, but I remember going to libraries before during my study day in and day out and I used to enjoy a lot in libraries and enjoy the quiet environment of it.
✓ I don't often go to the library nowadays because I feel I can find everything online, but I remember going to libraries before during my study days day in and day out and I used to enjoy libraries a lot and enjoy their quiet environment.
The phrase 'study day in and day out' is incorrect because 'study' should be pluralized to 'study days' to indicate multiple days. Also, 'enjoy a lot in libraries' is awkward; it should be 'enjoy libraries a lot' for correct word order and clarity. Finally, 'the quiet environment of it' is better expressed as 'their quiet environment' to avoid awkward phrasing.
× I usually read books and I used to find out the umm, I used to find out the references and those books which we were not able to purchase because sometimes they were so costly and limited. So I usually.
✓ I usually read books and I used to find the references and those books which we were not able to purchase because sometimes they were so costly and limited. So I usually did.
The phrase 'used to find out' is incorrect; 'find out' implies discovering information, but here 'find' is more appropriate. Also, the sentence ends abruptly with 'So I usually.' which is incomplete; it should be completed as 'So I usually did.' to make a complete thought.
× Yes, I remember we had a big library in our school and I really love to go there and borrow books from there. And I remember even during my third.
✓ Yes, I remember we had a big library in our school and I really loved going there and borrowing books from there. And I remember even during my third grade.
The phrase 'I really love to go there' is inconsistent with the past context; it should be 'I really loved going there' to match past tense. Also, 'borrow books from there' is better as 'borrowing books from there' for parallel structure. The sentence 'And I remember even during my third.' is incomplete and should be completed as 'And I remember even during my third grade.' for clarity.
× I actually don't have any idea about Chinese people because I haven't. I have not been there and I have no idea.
✓ I actually don't have any idea about Chinese people because I haven't been there. I have no idea.
The sentence 'because I haven't.' is incomplete and unclear. It should be combined with the following sentence to form 'because I haven't been there.' for clarity and grammatical correctness.
