× Yes, I go to the library three times a week because I have a library very close to my house and I've heard some saying that that says reading a book is a conversation with the great person.
✓ Yes, I go to the library three times a week because there is a library very close to my house and I've heard a saying that reading a book is a conversation with a great person.
The phrase 'I have a library very close to my house' is incorrect because 'have' implies possession, but here the speaker means there is a library nearby. This is a 'There be' issue (ID 3). Also, 'some saying that that says' is redundant and incorrect; it should be 'a saying that'. Additionally, 'the great person' should be 'a great person' because it refers to any great person, not a specific one.
× So I always try to read a book.
✓ So I always try to read books.
The phrase 'read a book' is grammatically correct but contextually awkward because 'try to read a book' implies attempting a single book repeatedly. Using 'books' plural better fits the habitual action of reading.
× I usually do read a book in the library and sometimes I study there because I don't focus on my studying in my house, so it's really helpful to me for me to study there.
✓ I usually read books in the library and sometimes I study there because I can't focus on my studying at home, so it's really helpful for me to study there.
The phrase 'do read a book' is unnecessary; 'do' is used for emphasis but here it is awkward. Also, 'my house' should be 'at home' for natural English. 'Helpful to me for me to study there' is redundant; 'helpful for me to study there' is correct.
× Definitely no, because my mom wants me want wanted me to read, uh, lots of book.
✓ Definitely no, because my mom wanted me to read lots of books.
The sentence has mixed tenses and incorrect verb forms. 'Wants me want wanted me' is incorrect; the past tense 'wanted' should be used consistently. Also, 'lots of book' should be 'lots of books' (plural).
× So she bought a number of books for me to read the book.
✓ So she bought a number of books for me to read.
The phrase 'for me to read the book' is incorrect because 'the book' is singular and does not match 'a number of books'. It should be 'for me to read' without specifying 'the book'.
× So my house has a lot of books, so.
✓ So my house has a lot of books.
The sentence ends abruptly with 'so.' which is unnecessary and incomplete. Removing 'so.' makes the sentence complete and correct.
× Unfortunately I can't answer the answer about the question because I am not not on Chinese.
✓ Unfortunately, I can't answer the question because I am not Chinese.
The phrase 'answer the answer about the question' is redundant and incorrect; it should be 'answer the question'. Also, 'I am not not on Chinese' is incorrect; it should be 'I am not Chinese'.
× I am a Korean so I don't know if Chinese children go to the library or not.
✓ I am Korean, so I don't know if Chinese children go to the library or not.
The phrase 'I am a Korean' is grammatically acceptable but 'I am Korean' is more natural in this context. Adding a comma before 'so' improves sentence clarity.
