Part 1

Examiner

Do you often go to the library?

Candidate

Umm yes. I often go to the library because I enjoy borrowing books rather than buying them as it is more economical. Additionally, I appreciate the tranquil atmosphere there which helps me concentrate better when I'm studying or reading.

Examiner

What do you usually do in the library?

Candidate

Well, I mainly spend my time in the library reading books or other studying materials because it offers very quiet and peaceful environment. I also sometimes bring my laptop there to work on assignments or research. This helps me concentrate much better than I would at home.

Examiner

Did you go to the library when you were a kid?

Candidate

Well, I didn't have many opportunities to visit a proper library when I was a child because I grown up in mainland China, umm, during the 1990s. At the time, most libraries were poorly equipped and only accessible to a small number of people, so I usually relied on books at school or at home to satisfy my curiosity.

Examiner

Do Chinese kids often go to the library?

Candidate

Well, I believe that's true because Chinese students are known for their hard work and dedication. For example, if you visit a library during the summer holidays, you will often find many Chinese students studying there. This shows that they frequently use libraries to improve their knowledge and prepare for exams.

Grammar

Present tense issue

× I mainly spend my time in the library reading books or other studying materials because it offers very quiet and peaceful environment.

I mainly spend my time in the library reading books or other study materials because it offers a very quiet and peaceful environment.

The phrase 'studying materials' is incorrect; the correct noun form is 'study materials' to describe materials used for study. Also, the phrase 'very quiet and peaceful environment' is missing the article 'a' before 'very quiet'. In English, singular countable nouns require an article or determiner.

Past tense issue

× I didn't have many opportunities to visit a proper library when I was a child because I grown up in mainland China, umm, during the 1990s.

I didn't have many opportunities to visit a proper library when I was a child because I grew up in mainland China, umm, during the 1990s.

The phrase 'I grown up' is incorrect because 'grown' is the past participle form and requires an auxiliary verb 'have' to form the present perfect tense. Since the sentence refers to a past event, the simple past tense 'grew up' is appropriate here.
