× No, I don't really often go to the library because I basically don't like reading books and rather than reading books I rather play video games and have fun with my friends hanging out outside.
✓ No, I don't often really go to the library because I basically don't like reading books and rather than reading books I prefer to play video games and have fun hanging out with my friends outside.
The adverb 'often' is misplaced; it should be closer to the verb 'go'. Also, 'rather than reading books I rather play' is awkward; 'prefer to play' is more natural. 'Hanging out with my friends outside' is better than 'have fun with my friends hanging out outside' for clarity.
× No, I don't really often go to the library because I basically don't like reading books and rather than reading books I rather play video games and have fun with my friends hanging out outside.
✓ No, I don't really often go to the library because I basically don't like reading books and rather than reading books I prefer to play video games and have fun hanging out with my friends outside.
The phrase 'have fun with my friends hanging out outside' is unclear; 'have fun hanging out with my friends outside' correctly uses the gerund form to indicate the activity.
× Additionally, I used to read a lot of books, however I lost interest in it so right now I usually stay at home rather than going to the library.
✓ Additionally, I used to read a lot of books; however, I lost interest in it, so right now I usually stay at home rather than going to the library.
A semicolon or period is needed before 'however' to separate independent clauses. Also, commas improve readability. The past tense 'used to' and 'lost' are correct here.
× Additionally, I used to read a lot of books, however I lost interest in it so right now I usually stay at home rather than going to the library.
✓ Additionally, I used to read a lot of books; however, I lost interest in it, so right now I usually stay at home rather than going to the library.
The phrase 'rather than going to the library' correctly uses the gerund form to indicate preference of action.
× Therefore, I read a variety of books, especially the English ones, and improve my skill a lot there.
✓ Therefore, I read a variety of books, especially the English ones, and improved my skills a lot there.
Since the context is past ('used to go'), the verb 'improve' should be in past tense 'improved'. Also, 'skills' is more natural in plural form here.
× I usually study in the library because I don't like reading books.
✓ I usually study in the library because I don't like reading books.
This sentence is grammatically correct; no changes needed.
× I love the environment there because it's really relaxing and I can concentrate on my work really peacefully.
✓ I love the environment there because it's really relaxing and I can concentrate on my work very peacefully.
The adverb 'really' is less appropriate before 'peacefully'; 'very peacefully' is more natural.
× I'm not familiar with Chinese kids so I can't tell specifically, but I know that many Chinese kids love reading books, so I believe they do often go to the library to study read books for their future.
✓ I'm not familiar with Chinese kids, so I can't say specifically, but I know that many Chinese kids love reading books, so I believe they often go to the library to study and read books for their future.
The phrase 'study read books' is incorrect; it should be 'study and read books'. Also, 'tell specifically' is better as 'say specifically'. Commas improve sentence clarity.
