× No, I don't go to the library as frequently as before because I have a mobile phone or Kindle that I used to read. And also by using all those electronic devices, I can save time and I can.
✓ No, I don't go to the library as frequently as before because I have a mobile phone or Kindle that I use to read. Also, by using all those electronic devices, I can save time.
The phrase 'that I used to read' incorrectly uses the past tense 'used' instead of the present tense 'use' to describe a current habit. Also, the sentence 'and I can' is incomplete and unnecessary. The correct form is 'that I use to read' to indicate a present action. Additionally, 'And also by using' is redundant; 'Also, by using' is clearer.
× Before when I visit library I just scan books, look for an interesting books to enjoy, but I don't really enjoy library because of the quiet environment that library has.
✓ Before, when I visited the library, I just scanned books, looked for interesting books to enjoy, but I didn't really enjoy the library because of the quiet environment it has.
The noun 'library' requires the definite article 'the' because it refers to a specific place. Also, 'an interesting books' is incorrect because 'books' is plural and 'an' is singular; it should be 'interesting books'. The verb tenses are adjusted to past tense to match 'Before' and the time frame. The phrase 'that library has' is better expressed as 'it has' to avoid repetition.
× Before when I visit library I just scan books, look for an interesting books to enjoy, but I don't really enjoy library because of the quiet environment that library has.
✓ Before, when I visited the library, I just scanned books, looked for interesting books to enjoy, but I didn't really enjoy the library because of the quiet environment it has.
The sentence refers to past events, so the verbs should be in the past tense: 'visit' to 'visited', 'scan' to 'scanned', 'look' to 'looked', and 'don't enjoy' to 'didn't enjoy'. This maintains tense consistency.
× Before when I visit library I just scan books, look for an interesting books to enjoy, but I don't really enjoy library because of the quiet environment that library has.
✓ Before, when I visited the library, I just scanned books, looked for interesting books to enjoy, but I didn't really enjoy the library because of the quiet environment it has.
The phrase 'an interesting books' mixes singular article 'an' with plural noun 'books'. It should be 'interesting books' without 'an' to correctly match plural form.
× Yes, I remember when I was a kid, we went to a library because we have or we had a project that we need to finish by using our library, which is a project.
✓ Yes, I remember when I was a kid, we went to the library because we had a project that we needed to finish by using the library.
The phrase 'a library' should be 'the library' because it refers to a specific library known to the speaker. Also, 'our library' is unclear; 'the library' is more appropriate. The verb tenses are adjusted to past tense for consistency. The phrase 'which is a project' is redundant and removed.
× Yes, I remember when I was a kid, we went to a library because we have or we had a project that we need to finish by using our library, which is a project.
✓ Yes, I remember when I was a kid, we went to the library because we had a project that we needed to finish by using the library.
The sentence refers to past events, so verbs should be in past tense: 'have' to 'had' and 'need' to 'needed' to maintain tense consistency.
× Yes, I remember when I was a kid, we went to a library because we have or we had a project that we need to finish by using our library, which is a project.
✓ Yes, I remember when I was a kid, we went to the library because we had a project that we needed to finish by using the library.
The article 'a' before 'library' is incorrect because it refers to a specific library; 'the library' is correct. Also, 'our library' is ambiguous; 'the library' is clearer.
× Yes, I remember when I was a kid, we went to a library because we have or we had a project that we need to finish by using our library, which is a project.
✓ Yes, I remember when I was a kid, we went to the library because we had a project that we needed to finish by using the library.
The pronoun 'our library' is unclear and unnecessary. Using 'the library' is more appropriate to refer to the place used for the project.
× I don't know anything about Chinese children, but I think yes, they go a lot to the library to research and to study because Chinese people are smart. So I think they're often visit the library.
✓ I don't know anything about Chinese children, but I think yes, they go to the library a lot to research and study because Chinese people are smart. So I think they often visit the library.
The phrase 'they go a lot to the library' is awkward; 'they go to the library a lot' is correct. Also, 'they're often visit' is incorrect; it should be 'they often visit' because 'they're' (they are) cannot be followed by the base verb 'visit' without '-ing'.
× I don't know anything about Chinese children, but I think yes, they go a lot to the library to research and to study because Chinese people are smart. So I think they're often visit the library.
✓ I don't know anything about Chinese children, but I think yes, they go to the library a lot to research and study because Chinese people are smart. So I think they often visit the library.
The contraction 'they're' (they are) is incorrectly used before 'visit'. The correct form is 'they often visit' without 'are' because 'visit' is a simple present verb here.
