× I don't go to university very often, but I used to go when I was young and I studied at university because it was calm and pleasant environment here and it was good experience at the end.
✓ I don't go to university very often, but I used to go when I was young and I studied at university because it was a calm and pleasant environment here and it was a good experience in the end.
The sentence is mostly correct in tense but misses articles 'a' before 'calm and pleasant environment' and 'good experience'. Articles are necessary to specify singular countable nouns. Adding 'a' makes the sentence grammatically correct.
× I read usually at library but there was area for computers and when I needed to do something in computers like creating Word document or presentations, I used to use computers as well.
✓ I usually read at the library but there was an area for computers and when I needed to do something on the computers like creating Word documents or presentations, I used to use the computers as well.
The definite article 'the' is needed before 'library' and 'computers' to specify particular places or items. Also, 'an' is needed before 'area' as it is a singular countable noun. Preposition 'on' is more appropriate than 'in' when referring to using computers. 'Word document' should be pluralized to 'Word documents' to match the context.
× And now when I was a kid, I did not go at library because in a village where I lived there were not libraries at all.
✓ When I was a kid, I did not go to the library because in the village where I lived there were no libraries at all.
The phrase 'And now when I was a kid' is incorrect; 'now' conflicts with past tense. 'Go at library' should be 'go to the library' as 'to' is the correct preposition. 'There were not libraries' should be 'there were no libraries' for correct negation. 'In a village' should be 'in the village' if referring to a specific village.
× There was only school library, but we could not read there.
✓ There was only a school library, but we could not read there.
The phrase 'only school library' needs the indefinite article 'a' before 'school library' because it is a singular countable noun and not previously specified.
× We had to borrow a book and then read it at home.
✓ We had to borrow a book and then read it at home.
This sentence is correct; no changes needed.
× Uh, I honestly don't know if Chinese kids often go to the library because I'm from Georgia.
✓ Uh, I honestly don't know if Chinese kids often go to the library because I'm from Georgia.
This sentence is correct; no changes needed.
× In my country, umm yes, kids often go to the library, but not to read books, just to prepare presentations or making a Word document.
✓ In my country, umm yes, kids often go to the library, but not to read books, just to prepare presentations or make Word documents.
The phrase 'or making a Word document' should be parallel with 'to prepare presentations', so 'making' should be changed to 'make'. Also, 'a Word document' should be plural 'Word documents' to match 'presentations' and general usage.
