In my opinion, yes, because I think that Chinese kids are born to be genius and and they are.

Did you go to the library when you were a kid?
Score: 70.0Suggestion: Your answer is honest but could be improved by avoiding filler words like 'uh' and by providing a bit more detail. Also, use past tense correctly and try to expand your answer slightly with linking words.

Do Chinese kids often go to the library?
Score: 50.0Suggestion: Your answer is vague and contains grammatical errors and repetition ('and and'). Avoid making generalisations without support and try to provide specific reasons or examples. Also, use correct grammar and avoid repetition.
Example: In my opinion, many Chinese children visit libraries regularly because their education system encourages reading and learning outside the classroom.
× I regularly visit the reading room because it is the only place where I can study without distractions and I can find a lot of books that are that are not available on Internet.
✓ I regularly visit the reading room because it is the only place where I can study without distractions and I can find a lot of books that are not available on the Internet.
The definite article 'the' is required before 'Internet' because it is a unique, specific entity. Omitting 'the' before 'Internet' is incorrect in English.
× To be honest, I visited the library just to relax, not for reading because I don't have my own room in my home.
✓ To be honest, I visit the library just to relax, not for reading because I don't have my own room in my home.
The question asks about usual activities in the library, so the present tense 'visit' is appropriate rather than the past tense 'visited'. Using past tense here is inconsistent with the habitual action described.
× So the library, the library is the only place where I can stay with myself.
✓ So the library is the only place where I can be by myself.
The phrase 'stay with myself' is unnatural in English. The correct expression is 'be by myself' to indicate being alone. Also, repeating 'the library' is redundant.
× I didn't even know, uh, what the library is.
✓ I didn't even know, uh, what a library is.
When referring to something in general, the indefinite article 'a' should be used instead of the definite article 'the'. Here, 'a library' is correct because the speaker is talking about the concept of a library, not a specific one.
× In my opinion, yes, because I think that Chinese kids are born to be genius and and they are.
✓ In my opinion, yes, because I think that Chinese kids are born to be geniuses, and they are.
The word 'genius' should be plural 'geniuses' to agree with the plural subject 'kids'. Also, the repeated 'and' is an error and should be corrected to a single 'and'. The sentence structure is improved by adding a comma before 'and'.
