× I find it easier to access information online. I.
✓ I find it easier to access information online.
The sentence ends abruptly with an extra 'I' which is unnecessary and causes sentence structure error. Removing the extra 'I' corrects the sentence.
× Also as occasionally I used to listen to the music or podcast with my head.
✓ Also, occasionally I used to listen to music or podcasts with my headphones.
The phrase 'Also as occasionally' is incorrect conjunction use. It should be 'Also, occasionally'. Additionally, 'the music or podcast' should be pluralized appropriately and 'with my head' is incorrect; it should be 'with my headphones' to make sense.
× Yes, I used to go to the libraries when in my childhood in weekends along with my grandparents.
✓ Yes, I used to go to the library during my childhood on weekends along with my grandparents.
The plural 'libraries' is incorrect here because usually one refers to 'the library' as a general place. Also, 'in my childhood in weekends' is incorrect preposition use; it should be 'during my childhood on weekends'.
× Yes, I used to go to the libraries when in my childhood in weekends along with my grandparents.
✓ Yes, I used to go to the library during my childhood on weekends along with my grandparents.
The prepositions 'when in' and 'in weekends' are incorrect. The correct prepositions are 'during' for a period of time and 'on' for days or weekends.
× I have a lot of memories with it.
✓ I have a lot of memories of it.
The preposition 'with' is incorrect here; the correct phrase is 'memories of something' to indicate recollections related to it.
× In fact, many schools recommend students to go to library for their research purposes.
✓ In fact, many schools recommend students to go to the library for their research purposes.
The phrase 'go to library' is missing the definite article 'the' before 'library'. The correct phrase is 'go to the library'.
× Going to library makes them perfect.
✓ Going to the library helps them improve.
The phrase 'makes them perfect' is awkward and incorrect in this context. It is better to say 'helps them improve' to convey the intended meaning. Also, 'to library' needs the article 'the'.
