Part 1
Examiner
Do you often go to the library?
Candidate
Yes, I am a constant customer for libraries. I go there frequently. I usually take books from there and bring them home to read. Then I return them, of course, and I also visit libraries to study there.
Examiner
What do you usually do in the library?
Candidate
I usually study for my lectures. I mostly study there for my educational purposes and often I go library to read books and clear my mind.
Examiner
Did you go to the library when you were a kid?
Candidate
No, I didn't go to the library very often when I was a child because my parents were very busy back then and I wasn't allowed to go out by myself. So I ended up not going to the library very often. But I wish I were because I think it's very important for children to visit library.
Examiner
Do Chinese kids often go to the library?
Candidate
Although I'm not a Chinese myself, I have a limited knowledge on this topic, but I believe Chinese kids go to library regularly because I know Chinese people values education and their children's education especially.

Grammar
× I mostly study there for my educational purposes and often I go library to read books and clear my mind.
✓ I mostly study there for my educational purposes and often I go to the library to read books and clear my mind.
The preposition 'to' is missing before 'the library'. In English, when indicating movement towards a place, the preposition 'to' is required before the noun. Therefore, 'go library' should be corrected to 'go to the library'.
× But I wish I were because I think it's very important for children to visit library.
✓ But I wish I were because I think it's very important for children to visit the library.
The definite article 'the' is missing before 'library'. When referring to a specific place known to both speaker and listener, such as 'the library', the definite article 'the' is necessary. Therefore, 'visit library' should be corrected to 'visit the library'.
× I believe Chinese kids go to library regularly because I know Chinese people values education and their children's education especially.
✓ I believe Chinese kids go to the library regularly because I know Chinese people value education and their children's education especially.
Two errors here: first, the preposition 'to' should be followed by the definite article 'the' before 'library' to form 'go to the library'. Second, the verb 'values' does not agree with the plural subject 'Chinese people'; it should be 'value'. The correction addresses both issues.
