× Honestly when I were a kid I really like to playing toys and watching TV so I don't really like reading books or do anything in the library.
✓ Honestly, when I was a kid I really liked playing with toys and watching TV, so I didn't really like reading books or doing anything in the library.
The sentence contains multiple errors related to verb forms and tense. 'were' should be 'was' to agree with the singular subject 'I' in past tense (Grammar Problem Type ID 5: Past tense issue). 'like to playing' is incorrect; it should be 'liked playing' because 'like' followed by a verb is usually in the gerund form when expressing enjoyment (Grammar Problem Type ID 8: Verb + -ing form). Also, 'do anything' should be 'doing anything' to maintain parallel structure with 'reading books' (Grammar Problem Type ID 8). The sentence also needs past tense consistency, so 'like' changes to 'liked' and 'don't' to 'didn't'.

✓ Honestly, when I was a kid I really liked playing with toys and watching TV, so I didn't really like reading books or doing anything in the library.
The verb 'were' is incorrect for the singular subject 'I' in past tense; it should be 'was' (Grammar Problem Type ID 5). Also, the verbs 'like' and 'don't' should be in past tense 'liked' and 'didn't' to maintain tense consistency.
× I will go to the library because it brings me quiet place to focus on assignment.
✓ I will go to the library because it brings me a quiet place to focus on my assignment.
The phrase 'quiet place' needs an article 'a' because it is a singular countable noun (Grammar Problem Type ID 17: Incorrect use of the definite article). Also, 'assignment' should be preceded by 'my' to specify which assignment is being referred to.
× I will go to the library because it brings me quiet place to focus on assignment.
✓ I will go to the library because it brings me a quiet place to focus on my assignment.
The preposition 'on' is correctly used with 'focus', but the phrase 'focus on assignment' is incomplete without a determiner like 'my' before 'assignment' (Grammar Problem Type ID 11).
× Actually I am Vietnamese so I don't know more about Chinese kids, but I think we are the same because when we need to study during the exam periods, we need to go to the library more often.
✓ Actually, I am Vietnamese so I don't know much about Chinese kids, but I think we are the same because when we need to study during exam periods, we need to go to the library more often.
The phrase 'know more about' is incorrect here; it should be 'know much about' to express lack of knowledge (Grammar Problem Type ID 12). Also, 'the exam periods' should be 'exam periods' as it refers to general periods, not specific ones (Grammar Problem Type ID 17).
× I also hang out with my friends and we have a conversation about our project on our assignments.
✓ I also hang out with my friends and we have a conversation about our project and our assignments.
The preposition 'on' is incorrectly used with 'our assignments'; it should be replaced with 'and' to correctly link the two objects of the conversation (Grammar Problem Type ID 11).
