× I rarely visit to the library because there is no one at my place.
✓ I rarely visit the library because there is no one at my place.
The verb 'visit' does not require the preposition 'to' after it. The correct form is 'visit the library', not 'visit to the library'. Removing 'to' corrects the sentence.
× Where I live.
✓ Where I live,
'Where I live.' is a sentence fragment lacking a main verb or connection to the previous sentence. It should be connected to the previous sentence with a comma or rephrased to form a complete sentence.
× Library have a quite good environment.
✓ The library has a quite good environment.
The subject 'Library' is singular and requires the singular verb 'has'. Also, 'library' should be preceded by the definite article 'the' to specify it. Hence, 'The library has...' is correct.
× I like to study over there and instead of buying books, it is more convenient to borrow books from library to study for a.
✓ I like to study there, and instead of buying books, it is more convenient to borrow books from the library to study.
The phrase 'study over there' is better as 'study there'. Also, 'from library' requires the definite article 'the' as 'from the library'. The phrase 'to study for a' is incomplete and unnecessary, so it is removed for clarity.
× I usually go to library for self study because of a peaceful environment and it is more convenient place for studying over there.
✓ I usually go to the library for self-study because of the peaceful environment, and it is a more convenient place to study there.
'Go to library' requires the article 'the' as 'go to the library'. 'Self study' should be hyphenated as 'self-study'. 'Because of a peaceful environment' should be 'because of the peaceful environment' to specify it. 'More convenient place for studying over there' is better as 'more convenient place to study there'.
× UH I visit library uh to borrow books instead of buying them.
✓ I visit the library to borrow books instead of buying them.
'Visit library' requires the article 'the' as 'visit the library'. Removing filler words 'uh' improves clarity.
× It is more convenient way to explore more books.
✓ It is a more convenient way to explore more books.
The sentence is missing the indefinite article 'a' before 'more convenient way'. Adding 'a' corrects the sentence.
× I usually read fictions over there.
✓ I usually read fiction there.
'Fiction' is an uncountable noun and does not take a plural form 'fictions'. Also, 'over there' can be simplified to 'there'.
× I've started reading books in 8th grade now.
✓ I started reading books in 8th grade.
The present perfect 'I've started' is inconsistent with the past time reference 'in 8th grade'. Simple past tense 'I started' is appropriate here.
× I've seen them in libraries all the time because it is the convenient place for study and a peaceful environment.
✓ I've seen them in libraries all the time because it is a convenient place to study and has a peaceful environment.
'The convenient place' should be 'a convenient place' as it is not previously specified. 'Place for study' should be 'place to study'. Also, adding 'has' before 'a peaceful environment' improves sentence structure.
× So which helps us to focus more on self study.
✓ This helps us focus more on self-study.
'So which helps us...' is a sentence fragment and unclear. Replacing with 'This helps us focus more on self-study.' forms a complete and clear sentence.
× Yeah, Chinese students often go to library because.
✓ Yeah, Chinese students often go to the library because it is convenient.
'Go to library' requires the article 'the'. The sentence is incomplete and needs a reason to complete the thought.
