Do you often go to the library?

Examiner
Did you go to the library when you were a kid?

Well, to be honest, it's a shame that I hardly ever go to the school library when I was a kid, because when I was young I preferred to go to outside to play with my friends rather than stay in the library to read some boring books.

× Yes, I go to the school library on a daily basis and the reason is that I think the school library is a quiet place for me to help me concentrate on my homework and apart from that, it's a good place for me to prepare for group presentation and do some.
✓ Yes, I go to the school library on a daily basis because I think the school library is a quiet place that helps me concentrate on my homework. Apart from that, it's a good place for me to prepare for group presentations and do some work.
The original sentence incorrectly uses 'and the reason is that' as a conjunction, which makes the sentence awkward and run-on. Replacing it with 'because' clarifies the cause-effect relationship. Also, 'group presentation' should be plural as it refers to a general activity, and 'do some' is incomplete, so 'do some work' is added for clarity.
× Well, I almost dedicated myself to finish my homework because, you know, in my school the work is so the assignment is so much.
✓ Well, I almost dedicated myself to finishing my homework because, you know, in my school the assignments are so much.
The phrase 'dedicated myself to finish' is incorrect; after 'dedicate oneself to', the verb should be in the -ing form ('finishing'). Also, 'the assignment is so much' is ungrammatical; it should be plural 'assignments are so much' to agree with the plural subject and express quantity.
× And sometimes I just read some sci-fi novels to relax myself.
✓ And sometimes I just read some sci-fi novels to relax myself.
This sentence is grammatically correct and fits the present tense context, so no correction is needed.
× Well, to be honest, it's a shame that I hardly ever go to the school library when I was a kid, because when I was young I preferred to go to outside to play with my friends rather than stay in the library to read some boring books.
✓ Well, to be honest, it's a shame that I hardly ever went to the school library when I was a kid, because when I was young I preferred to go outside to play with my friends rather than stay in the library to read some boring books.
The phrase 'hardly ever go' should be in past tense 'hardly ever went' to match the time frame 'when I was a kid'. Also, 'go to outside' is incorrect; the correct phrase is 'go outside' without 'to'.
× Well actually yes, from what I've observed, most Chinese people parents, they have strict rules on their children.
✓ Well actually yes, from what I've observed, most Chinese parents have strict rules for their children.
The phrase 'most Chinese people parents' is redundant and incorrect; it should be 'most Chinese parents'. Also, 'they have' is unnecessary after 'most Chinese parents' as the subject is already clear. 'Rules on their children' should be 'rules for their children' for correct preposition use.
× So their children are actually usually go to the school library.
✓ So their children actually usually go to the school library.
The phrase 'are actually usually go' is incorrect because 'are' and 'go' cannot be used together here. The correct form is 'actually usually go' to maintain subject-verb agreement and proper verb form.
× But fortunately my parents is different from them.
✓ But fortunately my parents are different from them.
The subject 'my parents' is plural, so the verb should be 'are' instead of 'is' to agree in number.
