Part 1
Examiner
Do you often go to the library?
Candidate
No, not really. Because I usually study at home or read books at home, I don't often go to the library. I think it's been a long time since I went to the library last time, and I don't know anything special about libraries.
Examiner
What do you usually do in the library?
Candidate
As I said, I don't usually go to libraries because I find them quite boring, but when I go there I usually read books or study for my exams. But as I say so it's been a long time since I last went to libraries because they're so boring. Is how can people go to library?
Examiner
Did you go to the library when you were a kid?
Candidate
Yes I usually went to the libraries with my parents to buy new books and study for like a while with them because they had exams so I could also go with them. But when I went there I found it really boring and it doesn't match my stylists all.
Examiner
Do Chinese kids often go to the library?
Candidate
I don't know, because I'm not Chinese, I'm Persian, and in Iran, uh, I don't think teenagers really find libraries that interesting. They would rather spend time in more interesting and exciting places, rather like playgrounds or something.

Example: I am not sure about Chinese kids since I am Persian, but in Iran, teenagers generally don't find libraries very interesting. Instead, they prefer spending time in more exciting places such as playgrounds.
× No, not really. Because I usually study at home or read books at home, I don't often go to the library.
✓ No, not really, because I usually study or read books at home, so I don't often go to the library.
Starting a sentence with 'Because' followed by a period creates a sentence fragment. It should be connected to the previous sentence or restructured to form a complete sentence.
× I think it's been a long time since I went to the library last time, and I don't know anything special about libraries.
✓ I think it's been a long time since I last went to the library, and I don't know anything special about libraries.
The phrase 'last time' is redundant when used with 'since'. Also, 'last went' is the correct past tense form here to indicate the most recent visit.
× As I said, I don't usually go to libraries because I find them quite boring, but when I go there I usually read books or study for my exams.
✓ As I said, I don't usually go to libraries because I find them quite boring, but when I do, I usually read books or study for my exams.
The phrase 'when I go there' can be simplified to 'when I do' to avoid repetition and improve sentence flow.
× But as I say so it's been a long time since I last went to libraries because they're so boring.
✓ But as I said, it's been a long time since I last went to libraries because they're so boring.
The phrase 'as I say so' is incorrect; the correct phrase is 'as I said'. Also, the sentence should be connected properly without 'so' in this context.
× Is how can people go to library?
✓ How can people go to the library?
The sentence structure is incorrect. The correct question form is 'How can people go to the library?' with the definite article 'the' before 'library'.
× Yes I usually went to the libraries with my parents to buy new books and study for like a while with them because they had exams so I could also go with them.
✓ Yes, I usually went to the library with my parents to buy new books and study for a while with them because they had exams, so I could also go with them.
The plural 'libraries' is incorrect here; 'the library' is more appropriate. Also, 'for like a while' is informal and should be 'for a while'. Commas are added for clarity.
× But when I went there I found it really boring and it doesn't match my stylists all.
✓ But when I went there, I found it really boring and it didn't match my style at all.
'Stylists' is incorrect; the intended word is 'style'. Also, tense consistency requires 'didn't' instead of 'doesn't'. 'At all' is the correct phrase.
