× She also he also likes reading, especially fiction books.
✓ He also likes reading, especially fiction books.
The sentence incorrectly uses two subject pronouns 'She' and 'he' together, which is grammatically incorrect. Only one subject pronoun should be used to refer to the boyfriend, which is 'he'.
× She often shares interesting stories about her weekends weekends, which makes my visit more enjoyable, and sometimes I ask her for recommendations on which books I should read.
✓ She often shares interesting stories about her weekends, which makes my visit more enjoyable, and sometimes I ask her for recommendations on which books I should read.
The word 'weekends' is repeated twice, which is a typographical error. Removing the duplicate improves clarity and correctness.
× Well, yes, I remember that when I was around 8:00 and 9:00 years old, I used to go to the library with my grandmother.
✓ Well, yes, I remember that when I was around 8 or 9 years old, I used to go to the library with my grandmother.
The phrase '8:00 and 9:00 years old' is incorrect because time notation with colons is not used for ages. The correct form is '8 or 9 years old' to indicate approximate age.
× She always pushed me to learn more, more words, more to to to achieve my knowledge, my knowledge of the world.
✓ She always pushed me to learn more words and to achieve my knowledge of the world.
The sentence contains repeated words 'more' and 'to' unnecessarily, which makes it confusing. Simplifying the sentence by removing repetitions clarifies the meaning and improves grammar.
× Well, I thought I don't have any kind of idea if the Chinese children go to the library, but I can say that maybe they go because I know I have a Chinese neighbors and they always on Sundays they always go to the library to spend their time.
✓ Well, I don't have any idea if Chinese children go to the library, but I can say that maybe they do because I have Chinese neighbours and they always go to the library on Sundays to spend their time.
The sentence has several pronoun and article errors: 'I thought I don't have' is incorrect tense usage; 'a Chinese neighbors' mixes singular article with plural noun; 'they always on Sundays they always go' is redundant and misplaced. Correcting these improves clarity and grammatical correctness.
