× sometimes I go to the library, uh, for do some paperwork and umm, doing my research projects.
✓ sometimes I go to the library, uh, to do some paperwork and umm, to do my research projects.
The verb 'do' should be in the infinitive form 'to do' after 'for' to indicate purpose. Also, 'doing' should be changed to 'to do' to maintain parallel structure and correct verb form after 'for'.
× I usually study English in library because I have to take some exams, uh, regarding my English score and uh, some other time I reading bookstore.
✓ I usually study English in the library because I have to take some exams, uh, regarding my English score and, uh, sometimes I read in the bookstore.
The noun 'library' requires the definite article 'the' when referring to a specific place. The phrase 'some other time I reading bookstore' is incorrect; it should be 'sometimes I read in the bookstore' to use the correct verb form and preposition.
× sometimes we borrow some useful books from.
✓ sometimes we borrow some useful books from there.
The preposition 'from' requires an object to complete the phrase. Adding 'there' clarifies the source from which books are borrowed.
× Chinese people are well known as they're hardworking and I think their children will go to the library.
✓ Chinese people are well known for being hardworking and I think their children often go to the library.
The phrase 'well known as' is incorrect; the correct expression is 'well known for'. Also, 'they're' is unnecessary here and 'will go' is changed to 'often go' to better express habitual action.
