× I rarely go to the library, especially when we have our practical research too when I was in Senior High School.
✓ I rarely went to the library, especially when we had our practical research during Senior High School.
The sentence mixes present tense 'go' with past time reference 'when I was in Senior High School', causing a tense inconsistency. The verb tense should match the time frame mentioned. Use past tense 'went' and 'had' to correctly reflect past events.
× It's a good place to focus and comfortable when I need where I can focus to complete my study.
✓ It's a good and comfortable place where I can focus to complete my studies when I need to.
The original sentence has awkward structure and missing words, making it unclear. The correction rearranges the sentence for clarity and grammatical correctness, adding 'and' to connect adjectives and placing 'where' properly.
× When I'm in the library, I usually search For more information for my assignments and sometimes I use it as a place where I can focus and concentrate on my study for my upcoming exams.
✓ When I'm in the library, I usually search for more information for my assignments, and sometimes I use it as a place where I can focus and concentrate on my studies for my upcoming exams.
The word 'For' should be lowercase 'for' as it is not a proper noun. Also, 'study' should be plural 'studies' to refer to general academic work. Adding a comma before 'and' improves sentence flow.
× No, I did not because when I was in an elementary our school didn't have libraries, so we need to rely on our own books where we can search for information into our assignments alone.
✓ No, I did not because when I was in elementary school, our school didn't have libraries, so we needed to rely on our own books to search for information for our assignments alone.
The phrase 'in an elementary' is incorrect; it should be 'in elementary school'. Also, 'need' should be past tense 'needed' to match the past context. 'Into our assignments' is incorrect preposition usage; 'for our assignments' is correct.
× Chinese kids often go to library from what I have seen from social media, especially when they need to study.
✓ Chinese kids often go to the library from what I have seen on social media, especially when they need to study.
The phrase 'go to library' is missing the definite article 'the'. Also, 'from social media' should be 'on social media' to correctly indicate the source of information.
× They often spend their time to libraries especially when they need to study.
✓ They often spend their time in libraries, especially when they need to study.
The phrase 'spend their time to libraries' is incorrect; the correct preposition is 'in' to indicate location where time is spent.
