× I often go to the library because I enjoy reading books in a quiet environment where I can fully consider concentrate without any distractions.
✓ I often go to the library because I enjoy reading books in a quiet environment where I can fully concentrate without any distractions.
The phrase 'consider concentrate' is incorrect because 'consider' is unnecessary and disrupts the verb form. The correct verb form here is 'concentrate' as a base verb after 'can'. The modal verb 'can' should be followed by the base form of the verb, so 'concentrate' is correct.
× I usually boring books from libraries and spend a couple of hours there and I think it's have improved my knowledge at the same time.
✓ I usually borrow books from libraries and spend a couple of hours there and I think it has improved my knowledge at the same time.
The word 'boring' is an adjective meaning 'dull' and is incorrectly used here instead of the verb 'borrow'. Also, 'it's have' is incorrect; the correct form is 'it has' to agree with the singular subject 'it' and the present perfect tense.
× As a student, I usually do my research, doing my homework or complete assignments in the libraries.
✓ As a student, I usually do my research, do my homework, or complete assignments in the library.
The phrase mixes verb forms inconsistently. 'Doing' should be changed to 'do' to maintain parallel structure with 'do my research' and 'complete assignments'. Also, 'libraries' should be singular 'library' to match the context.
× Especially when I have an important group project, I prefer going there because it offer many useful resources such as a book or document that I need, which make my work much easier.
✓ Especially when I have an important group project, I prefer going there because it offers many useful resources such as books or documents that I need, which make my work much easier.
The subject 'it' requires the verb 'offers' with an 's' for third person singular agreement. Also, 'a book or document' should be pluralized to 'books or documents' to match the plural verb 'offer' and the plural pronoun 'which' referring to multiple resources.
× When I was a child, I frequently went to the library with my parents every weekends because they believe it was important to develop a good reading hobbies.
✓ When I was a child, I frequently went to the library with my parents every weekend because they believed it was important to develop good reading habits.
'Every weekends' is incorrect; 'weekend' should be singular after 'every'. 'Believe' should be in past tense 'believed' to match the past time frame. 'A good reading hobbies' is incorrect because 'hobbies' is plural and should not be preceded by 'a'; also, 'habits' is more appropriate here.
× I especially enjoy spending a couple of hours in reading room.
✓ I especially enjoy spending a couple of hours in the reading room.
The phrase 'in reading room' is missing the definite article 'the' before 'reading room'. The correct prepositional phrase is 'in the reading room'.
× I think many Chinese kids often go to the library because reading is highly value in their culture.
✓ I think many Chinese kids often go to the library because reading is highly valued in their culture.
The adjective 'value' is incorrect here; the past participle 'valued' is needed to describe how reading is regarded in their culture. 'Highly' is an adverb modifying 'valued'.
× They are bookworms, they are usually very focused on academics and their parents tend to be quite straight about studying, so libraries help them improve their knowledge and skills.
✓ They are bookworms; they are usually very focused on academics, and their parents tend to be quite strict about studying, so libraries help them improve their knowledge and skills.
The original sentence is a comma splice; it incorrectly joins independent clauses with commas. Using a semicolon or separating into sentences is correct. Also, 'straight' should be 'strict' to correctly describe parents' attitude toward studying.
