× I go to library two days a week with my friends.
✓ I go to the library two days a week with my friends.
In English, when referring to a specific place like 'library' in this context, the definite article 'the' is required before the noun. Omitting 'the' here is incorrect because it implies any library rather than a specific one the speaker and friends use.
× I did not go to library during my childhood
✓ I did not go to the library during my childhood
The definite article 'the' is necessary before 'library' when referring to a specific place known to both speaker and listener. Omitting 'the' makes the sentence grammatically incorrect.
× I only go to school, not a library yeah
✓ I only went to school, not the library, yeah
First, the tense should be past ('went') to match 'during my childhood'. Second, 'the' is needed before 'library' to specify the particular place. Also, adding commas improves clarity.
× there was a library in my school, so I went to that library uh, just for reading the.
✓ There was a library in my school, so I went to that library just for reading.
The phrase 'just for reading the' is incomplete and incorrect. Removing 'the' after 'reading' corrects the sentence. Also, 'There' should be capitalized at the start.
× I don't know about Chinese kid, but yeah, I watched a cartoon
✓ I don't know about Chinese kids, but yeah, I watched a cartoon
The noun 'kid' should be plural 'kids' to agree with the context of talking about children in general. Using singular 'kid' is incorrect here.
× Chinese kids go to library for fun to play, uh, some mindful games
✓ Chinese kids go to the library for fun to play some mindful games
The definite article 'the' is required before 'library' when referring to a specific place. Omitting 'the' is incorrect in this context.
× in our free time, we played those games for our enjoyment
✓ In our free time, we play those games for our enjoyment
The question is about usual activities in the library, so present tense 'play' is appropriate rather than past tense 'played'. Using present tense indicates habitual action.
