Do you often go to the library?
Candidate
Unfortunately, I do not get the opportunity to visit the library pretty often. There really aren't many libraries around where I live and that fact disappoints me a lot.
Examiner
What do you usually do in the library?
Candidate
In the past, when I had the opportunity to visit libraries, I would go there and pick out the books that I'd like to read. More often than not, the books I'd pick were in the science fiction genre, but a lot of the times I would pick up fiction books that were appealing based on the summary given on their backs.
Examiner
Did you go to the library when you were a kid?
Candidate
A lot of the times, actually, there was a library at school and during lunch I would sneak my way into the library to pick up my favorite books. The library at school had a lot of toys as well, which I was attracted to when I was a kid.
Examiner
Do Chinese kids often go to the library?
Candidate
As someone from as someone who's from Bangladesh, I actually cannot answer this question because I do not know what the Chinese kids visit the library or not.

Grammar
× I actually cannot answer this question because I do not know what the Chinese kids visit the library or not.
✓ I actually cannot answer this question because I do not know whether the Chinese kids visit the library or not.
The original sentence incorrectly uses 'what' to introduce a yes/no question. The correct word to use here is 'whether' to indicate uncertainty about an action. Using 'whether' properly connects the clause and clarifies the meaning.
