Part 1

Examiner

Do you often go to the library?

Candidate

I try to go to the library regularly like in the weekends when I find a free time as a leisure activity. I go to the library and become the root form that I have been since I was a child and concentrate on the tasks that I have been given with from my professor.

Examiner

What do you usually do in the library?

Candidate

As I find the library a place to concentrate easily and the atmosphere is easy to study, I usually study there and try to hit the books and get ready for the exams because it's been a really good environment to just spend time reading what you need to read.

Examiner

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

Candidate

As a kid, I was a big bookworm. I was a fan of libraries, so every weekends me and my mom went to the library for the events that were there. And I really adored borrowing books instead of buying them. And I loved the old books that were kept there and I was really considering to buy them.

Examiner

Do Chinese kids often go to the library?

Candidate

I believe because of the extracurricular programs that the schools have and the busy time and the time that children spend working hard on their exams, they can't afford time find time to go to libraries. So no, because they prefer to study in coffee shops or at home.

Grammar

Incorrect use of prepositions

× I try to go to the library regularly like in the weekends when I find a free time as a leisure activity.

I try to go to the library regularly, like on weekends, when I find free time as a leisure activity.

The preposition 'in' is incorrect when referring to 'weekends'; the correct preposition is 'on'. Also, 'a free time' is incorrect because 'time' is uncountable here, so 'free time' without an article is correct.

Sentence structure errors

× I go to the library and become the root form that I have been since I was a child and concentrate on the tasks that I have been given with from my professor.

I go to the library and continue the habit that I have had since I was a child, concentrating on the tasks given to me by my professor.

The phrase 'become the root form' is unclear and incorrect. The sentence structure is confusing. It should express continuing a habit and concentrating on tasks. Also, 'given with from my professor' is incorrect; the correct phrase is 'given to me by my professor'.

Incorrect use of quantifiers

× As a kid, I was a big bookworm. I was a fan of libraries, so every weekends me and my mom went to the library for the events that were there.

As a kid, I was a big bookworm. I was a fan of libraries, so every weekend my mom and I went to the library for the events that were there.

'Every weekends' is incorrect because 'every' is used with singular nouns; it should be 'every weekend'. Also, the pronoun order should be 'my mom and I' as the subject of the sentence.

Incorrect use of pronouns

× so every weekends me and my mom went to the library for the events that were there.

so every weekend my mom and I went to the library for the events that were there.

The subject pronoun 'I' should be used instead of 'me' when it is the subject of the verb. Also, the order 'my mom and I' is more natural and grammatically correct.

Incorrect use of prepositions

× And I really adored borrowing books instead of buying them.

I really adored borrowing books instead of buying them.

Starting a sentence with 'And' is generally informal and unnecessary here. Removing 'And' improves sentence flow and formality.

Incorrect use of prepositions

× And I loved the old books that were kept there and I was really considering to buy them.

I loved the old books that were kept there, and I was really considering buying them.

The phrase 'considering to buy' is incorrect; the verb 'consider' is followed by a gerund ('buying'). Also, starting with 'And' is unnecessary.

Incorrect use of quantifiers

× so every weekends me and my mom went to the library for the events that were there.

so every weekend my mom and I went to the library for the events that were there.

'Every' should be followed by a singular noun, so 'weekends' should be 'weekend'.

Incorrect use of prepositions

× I believe because of the extracurricular programs that the schools have and the busy time and the time that children spend working hard on their exams, they can't afford time find time to go to libraries.

I believe that because of the extracurricular programs that schools have, the busy schedules, and the time children spend working hard on their exams, they can't find time to go to libraries.

The phrase 'can't afford time find time' is incorrect and redundant. The correct phrase is 'can't find time'. Also, 'the busy time' is better expressed as 'busy schedules' or 'busy times'.

Incorrect use of prepositions

× So no, because they prefer to study in coffee shops or at home.

So no, because they prefer to study in coffee shops or at home.

This sentence is correct; no correction needed.
