Part 1
Examiner
Do you often go to the library?
Candidate
No, I do not often go to the library. The reasons are because there is no big library in my city which is very small, and the university library only grants access to university students, which I am not.
Examiner
What do you usually do in the library?
Candidate
When I go to libraries, I usually go in order to search for books that are difficult to find online or in bookstores. Another thing that I often do in the library is I try to study because it provides a study space, public and accessible to everybody.
Examiner
Did you go to the library when you were a kid?
Candidate
Yes, I did. My parents used to take me to libraries in order to find books to improve my reading. For example, we used to go and specifically find Chinese story books which were difficult to buy where we lived at the time.
Examiner
Do Chinese kids often go to the library?
Candidate
I cannot speak very much from experience because I did not go to primary school in China. However, from my observation, most of my Chinese friends like to go to libraries, but the reason that they go is often just to study and not to access the books in the libraries.

× The reasons are because there is no big library in my city which is very small, and the university library only grants access to university students, which I am not.
✓ The reason is that there is no big library in my city, which is very small, and the university library only grants access to university students, which I am not.
句子中“reasons are because”结构不正确,应使用单数形式“reason is that”,因为后面只说明了一个原因。这里涉及“there be”结构的单复数问题。
× Another thing that I often do in the library is I try to study because it provides a study space, public and accessible to everybody.
✓ Another thing that I often do in the library is try to study because it provides a study space that is public and accessible to everybody.
原句中“public and accessible to everybody”缺少连接词,导致结构不完整。应加上关系代词“that is”使句子完整,修正介词使用错误。
× For example, we used to go and specifically find Chinese story books which were difficult to buy where we lived at the time.
✓ For example, we used to go and specifically find Chinese story books that were difficult to buy where we lived at the time.
关系代词“which”在限定性定语从句中通常用“that”更合适,尤其是口语中,修正介词使用错误。
× However, from my observation, most of my Chinese friends like to go to libraries, but the reason that they go is often just to study and not to access the books in the libraries.
✓ However, from my observation, most of my Chinese friends like to go to libraries, but the reason they go is often just to study and not to access books in the libraries.
“the reason that they go”中“that”可省略,使句子更自然;“access the books”中“access”后不需要定冠词“the”,因为泛指图书,修正介词和冠词使用错误。
