× I don't have much time to go to places like library, so whenever I want to look up new information, I could prefer opening my phones or computers to search for it on the Internet.
✓ I don't have much time to go to places like the library, so whenever I want to look up new information, I prefer opening my phone or computer to search for it on the Internet.
The noun 'library' is a singular, countable noun and requires the definite article 'the' when referring to a specific place. Also, 'phones' and 'computers' should be singular here to match the context of the sentence. 'Could prefer' is incorrect modal usage; 'prefer' alone is appropriate.
× I could prefer opening my phones or computers to search for it on the Internet.
✓ I prefer opening my phone or computer to search for it on the Internet.
The modal verb 'could' is incorrectly used with 'prefer'. 'Prefer' is a stative verb and does not usually combine with 'could' in this context. The correct form is simply 'I prefer'. Also, 'phones' and 'computers' should be singular to match the context.
× whenever I have a chance to go to the library I could spend time to looking for new information through books
✓ whenever I have a chance to go to the library I could spend time looking for new information through books
After the phrase 'spend time', the verb should be in the '-ing' form without 'to'. The phrase 'to looking' is incorrect; it should be 'looking'.
× I will take advantage of the technological devices on the library to find some interesting things.
✓ I will take advantage of the technological devices in the library to find some interesting things.
The preposition 'on' is incorrect when referring to being inside a place. The correct preposition is 'in' for locations like 'library'.
× So actually when I was a kid, library is not very popular in my place, so I cannot go to that very often.
✓ So actually when I was a kid, the library was not very popular in my place, so I could not go there very often.
The sentence lacks the definite article 'the' before 'library'. Also, the tense should be past ('was' instead of 'is') to match 'when I was a kid'. 'Cannot' should be 'could not' for past ability. 'That' is incorrect; 'there' is the correct pronoun referring to the place.
× But whenever I have a chance to go to the city and visit the library, yeah, I could take advantage of the chance to looking for some interesting books and then I will find it in the bookstore at my.
✓ But whenever I have a chance to go to the city and visit the library, yeah, I could take advantage of the chance to look for some interesting books and then I will find them in the bookstore near me.
After 'take advantage of the chance to', the verb should be in base form 'look' not 'looking'. 'Find it' is incorrect because 'books' is plural; it should be 'find them'. 'At my' is incomplete and unclear; 'near me' is a better phrase to indicate location.
× I could take advantage of the chance to looking for some interesting books and then I will find it in the bookstore at my.
✓ I could take advantage of the chance to look for some interesting books and then I will find them in the bookstore near me.
The pronoun 'it' is singular but refers to 'books' which is plural, so 'them' is correct. Also, 'at my' is incomplete and unclear; 'near me' is a better phrase to indicate location.
× Instead of that they will prefer staying at home and searching for and search for information on the Internet.
✓ Instead of that, they prefer staying at home and searching for information on the Internet.
The phrase 'searching for and search for' is redundant and incorrect. Also, 'will prefer' is less natural here; simple present 'prefer' is better to express habitual action. A comma after 'Instead of that' improves clarity.
