× Yes, I often go to library to study and read.
✓ Yes, I often go to the library to study and read.
In English, when referring to a specific place like 'library', the definite article 'the' is required to specify that particular place. Omitting 'the' before 'library' is incorrect.
× Library is a quiet place for me to stay focused without distractions.
✓ The library is a quiet place for me to stay focused without distractions.
The noun 'library' here refers to a specific place, so it needs the definite article 'the' before it to be grammatically correct.
× I often go to library to study my CA and complete my CA assignment.
✓ I often go to the library to study my CA and complete my CA assignment.
Again, 'library' is a specific place, so it requires the definite article 'the' before it.
× So I would go to library.
✓ So I would go to the library.
The definite article 'the' is necessary before 'library' to indicate the specific place being referred to.
× I always study in the library during weekend.

When referring to a specific time period like 'weekend', the definite article 'the' is required.
× I like to put on my headphones to watch lecture and finish my CA assignments and projects there.
✓ I like to put on my headphones to watch lectures and finish my CA assignments and projects there.
The noun 'lecture' should be plural 'lectures' to match the context of multiple sessions. Also, 'watch lecture' is awkward; 'watch lectures' is more natural.
× It is a quiet place for me to stay focused without destruction.
✓ It is a quiet place for me to stay focused without distraction.
The word 'destruction' is incorrect here; the correct noun is 'distraction' which means something that diverts attention.
× Yes, I used to go to the library every weekends.
✓ Yes, I used to go to the library every weekend.
The phrase 'every weekends' is incorrect because 'every' is followed by a singular noun. 'Weekend' should be singular here.
× My parents like taking me to the library to borrow books instead of buying one because it can save them a lot of money and I was a big fan.
✓ My parents like taking me to the library to borrow books instead of buying them because it can save them a lot of money and I was a big fan.
The pronoun 'one' is incorrect when referring to 'books' (plural). It should be 'them' to match the plural noun 'books'.
× I don't think so. Ah, right now many Chinese kids prefer to read digital books and their parents don't want to spend a lot of time on taking them to the library and umm, it's a super convenience for the kid to access different.
✓ I don't think so. Ah, right now many Chinese kids prefer to read digital books and their parents don't want to spend a lot of time taking them to the library and, umm, it's super convenient for the kids to access different resources.
The phrase 'on taking' is incorrect; 'spend time taking' is correct. 'Super convenience' should be 'super convenient' as an adjective. Also, 'the kid' should be 'the kids' to match plural 'Chinese kids'. The sentence ends abruptly; adding 'resources' clarifies meaning.
