✓ Yes, I often go to the library because the library is a place that provides me a peaceful and quiet environment for my study without any distraction.
In English, when referring to a specific place that is known to both the speaker and listener, the definite article 'the' is required before the noun 'library'. Omitting 'the' here is incorrect as it makes the sentence sound incomplete or unnatural.
× I usually visit the library during my exam because at that time I need peaceful environment for my study since the environment helps me stay motivate and organized.
✓ I usually visit the library during my exam because at that time I need a peaceful environment for my study since the environment helps me stay motivated and organized.
The phrase 'peaceful environment' requires the indefinite article 'a' because it is a singular, countable noun being introduced for the first time. Also, 'motivate' should be in past participle form 'motivated' to correctly function as an adjective here.
× I usually read the autobiographies of famous personalities like Neerajopda, Helen Keller and Milkha Singh, Hussein Bolt, etc.
✓ I usually read the autobiographies of famous personalities like Neerajopda, Helen Keller, Milkha Singh, Usain Bolt, etc.
The sentence has a punctuation issue with missing commas between names and a spelling mistake in 'Usain Bolt'. Proper commas are needed to separate items in a list. Although not a grammar problem per se, correcting names and punctuation improves clarity.
× Their motivational stories and sacrifices inspires me to face big challenges in my life.
✓ Their motivational stories and sacrifices inspire me to face big challenges in my life.
The subject 'stories and sacrifices' is plural, so the verb should be 'inspire' (plural form) instead of 'inspires' (singular form) to agree in number.
× Definitely. I went to the library when I was kid.
✓ Definitely. I went to the library when I was a kid.
The phrase 'when I was kid' is missing the indefinite article 'a' before 'kid'. Also, 'went' is correctly used in past tense here.
× At that time I gave more preference to read story books because story books helped me too. Get my mind development.
✓ At that time I gave more preference to reading story books because story books helped me too to develop my mind.
The phrase 'gave more preference to read' should use the gerund form 'reading' after 'preference to'. Also, 'Get my mind development' is a sentence fragment and incorrect; it should be rephrased as 'to develop my mind' to complete the thought.
× Definitely. Chinese kids often go to the library to reading books, and some school and colleges also motivates them to go to the library for research.
✓ Definitely. Chinese kids often go to the library to read books, and some schools and colleges also motivate them to go to the library for research.
After 'to' (a preposition or part of infinitive), the base form of the verb 'read' should be used, not the '-ing' form 'reading'. Also, 'school' should be plural 'schools' to agree with 'colleges', and 'motivates' should be 'motivate' to agree with the plural subject 'schools and colleges'.
