× I'm using Internet and if I need some information or some books I buy online and read in my laptop.
✓ I use the Internet and if I need some information or some books, I buy them online and read on my laptop.
The phrase 'I'm using Internet' incorrectly uses the present continuous tense for a habitual action. The simple present tense 'I use' is appropriate here because it describes a regular activity. Also, 'in my laptop' should be 'on my laptop' because we use 'on' for devices like laptops.
× I'm using Internet and if I need some information or some books I buy online and read in my laptop.
✓ I use the Internet and if I need some information or some books, I buy them online and read on my laptop.
The preposition 'in' is incorrect when referring to reading on a device; the correct preposition is 'on' for devices such as laptops.
× If I need some specific information which is related in finance and tax, I go to the library and find some relevant books, read and make notes to use to repeat or to practice later on.
✓ If I need some specific information which is related to finance and tax, I go to the library and find some relevant books, read them, and make notes to use for repeating or practicing later on.
The phrase 'related in finance and tax' is incorrect; the correct preposition is 'related to' when indicating a connection or relevance.

✓ If I need some specific information which is related to finance and tax, I go to the library and find some relevant books, read them, and make notes to use for repeating or practicing later on.
The verbs 'read' and 'make notes' need to be connected properly and 'read' should be followed by 'them' to refer to the plural 'books'. This clarifies the plural object and maintains grammatical agreement.

✓ Yes, I used to go a lot to the library when I was a kid because there was no Internet and when we needed some information, the library was a place where you could find all these new books and information.
The preposition 'in' is incorrect here; 'go to the library' is the correct phrase. Also, 'library was a place' needs the definite article 'the' before 'library'. Additionally, 'you can find' should be in past tense 'you could find' to match the past context.

The noun 'library' requires the definite article 'the' when referring to a specific place known to both speaker and listener.

This sentence is correct in past tense and needs no correction.
× Honestly I have no idea if Chinese kids go often to the library because I'm children.
✓ Honestly, I have no idea if Chinese kids often go to the library because I'm not a child.
The phrase 'I'm children' is incorrect because 'I' is singular and 'children' is plural. The correct phrase is 'I'm not a child' to express that the speaker is not a child.
× Honestly I have no idea if Chinese kids go often to the library because I'm children.
✓ Honestly, I have no idea if Chinese kids often go to the library because I'm not a child.
