× Sometimes when, uh, sometimes when I'm bored, I used to, I used to take some books and read them.
✓ Sometimes when, uh, sometimes when I'm bored, I take some books and read them.
The phrase 'used to' is incorrectly used here to describe a habitual action in the present. 'Used to' is for past habits. Since the speaker is talking about a current habit, the simple present tense 'take' is appropriate.
× As library is a peaceful and quiet place, I usually carry my laptop and my books with me to the library and do my pending works.
✓ As the library is a peaceful and quiet place, I usually carry my laptop and my books with me to the library and do my pending work.
The sentence is missing the definite article 'the' before 'library' which is necessary when referring to a specific place. Also, 'pending works' is incorrect; 'work' is an uncountable noun here and should not be pluralized.
× When I was a kid, there was no library located in my hometown, so I never get a chance to go at that place once.
✓ When I was a kid, there was no library located in my hometown, so I never got a chance to go to that place even once.
The verb 'get' should be in the past tense 'got' to match the past time frame. Also, the preposition 'at' is incorrect here; 'to' is the correct preposition to indicate movement towards a place.
× But in my school time I usually go to the school library once or twice in the week.
✓ But during my school time, I usually went to the school library once or twice a week.
The phrase 'in my school time' is better expressed as 'during my school time'. Since the speaker is referring to a past period, the verb 'go' should be in the past tense 'went'. Also, 'in the week' should be 'a week' to indicate frequency.
× So I never get a chance to go at that place once.
✓ So I never got a chance to go to that place even once.
The preposition 'at' is incorrect when indicating movement towards a place; 'to' is the correct preposition. Also, 'once' is better placed after 'even' for emphasis.
× It depends on a school, school to school where they belong.
✓ It depends on the school, school to school, where they belong.
The indefinite article 'a' is incorrect here; the definite article 'the' should be used when referring to specific schools. Also, the phrase 'school to school' is better set off by commas to clarify meaning.
× So it also depend on the on their personal choice.
✓ So it also depends on their personal choice.
The verb 'depend' should be in the third person singular present tense 'depends' to agree with the singular subject 'it'. Also, the extra 'on the' is redundant and should be removed.
