× Since I finished university I have never had a chance to go to the library anymore.
✓ Since I finished university I have never had a chance to go to the library.
The word 'anymore' is incorrectly used in a positive sentence. 'Anymore' is typically used in negative sentences or questions to indicate 'any longer'. Removing 'anymore' corrects the sentence.
× It's not now, I'm quite busy with making a living, so in the future I wish I I can go to the library to.
✓ It's not now, I'm quite busy making a living, so in the future I wish I could go to the library too.
The phrase 'I wish I I can' is incorrect; 'wish' is followed by a past modal verb to express a desire about the future, so 'could' is appropriate. Also, 'to' at the end is unnecessary and 'too' is the correct word to express 'also'.
× When I was in the library of the university, I often looked for the book from a certain author.
✓ When I was in the university library, I often looked for books by a certain author.
The phrase 'the library of the university' is awkward; 'university library' is more natural. Also, 'the book' should be plural 'books' because the student likely searched for multiple books. 'From a certain author' should be 'by a certain author' to indicate authorship.
× Like my favorite author is Dan Brown, so I would like to find his books to read.
✓ My favorite author is Dan Brown, so I would like to find his books to read.
Starting a sentence with 'Like' in this context is incorrect; it should be omitted. The sentence flows better without it.
× I think no, because I don't really like to read books when I was a kid.
✓ I think no, because I didn't really like to read books when I was a kid.
The verb tense is inconsistent; 'don't' is present tense but the time frame is past ('when I was a kid'). It should be 'didn't' to match the past time frame.
× Umm until I'm around 14 or above.
✓ Umm until I was around 14 or older.
The phrase refers to a past time, so 'I'm' (present tense) should be 'I was' (past tense). Also, 'or above' is better expressed as 'or older' when referring to age.
× I start to go to the library more often because my teacher recommended me to read my book.
✓ I started to go to the library more often because my teacher recommended that I read books.
The verb 'start' should be in past tense 'started' to match the past context. 'Recommended me to read my book' is incorrect; it should be 'recommended that I read books' for proper grammar and meaning.
× Yeah, I think Chinese kids nowadays would like to go to the libraries, umm, rather than in the past, because now people know the importance of reading books.
✓ Yeah, I think Chinese kids nowadays like to go to libraries more than in the past, because now people know the importance of reading books.
'Would like' implies conditional or polite desire, but here a simple present tense 'like' is more appropriate to express habitual action. Also, 'to the libraries' should be 'to libraries' for generalization.
× So everyone encouraged, encourages kids.
✓ So everyone encourages kids.
The sentence mixes past 'encouraged' and present 'encourages'. Since the context is present, only 'encourages' should be used.
