Examiner
What do you usually do in the library?
Candidate
Well, to be very honest, I don't always read books in the library because I think a lot of time can be utilized. Instead of reading books, I usually tend to complete my work in the library, the homework which I'm not able to complete in my classes. I'm very dedicated toward achieving a good score in my academics, so I don't usually read in the library.
Examiner
Did you go to the library when you were a kid?
Candidate
No, I did not go to the library when I was a kid quite often. I did go to my school library a few times because I was a fan of Geronimo Stilton and it really excited me to read those books. As a child all I was always enthusiastic to buy such books and to read such comics. So I would go to the library sometimes just to find those books and take insights from it.

× I don't go to the library quite often.
✓ I don't go to the library very often.
The phrase 'quite often' is not commonly used in negative sentences to express frequency. 'Very often' is more appropriate to indicate infrequency in this context.
× I do find one day in a week to go to the library and make time to read some books.
✓ I do find one day a week to go to the library and make time to read some books.
The phrase 'one day in a week' is awkward; the correct expression is 'one day a week' to indicate frequency.
× I think there are certain books that capture my attention, such as, uh, books written by Robert Brown.
✓ I think there are certain books that capture my attention, such as books written by Robert Brown.
The filler 'uh' is unnecessary and disrupts sentence flow; removing it improves clarity.
× They're very interesting and intriguing and they really.
✓ They're very interesting and intriguing.
The sentence is incomplete; removing the unfinished part makes it complete and clear.
× I think a lot of time can be utilized.
✓ I think a lot of time can be used.
The verb 'utilized' is formal and less common in this context; 'used' is more natural. Also, 'utilized' is not incorrect but 'used' fits better here.
× Instead of reading books, I usually tend to complete my work in the library, the homework which I'm not able to complete in my classes.
✓ Instead of reading books, I usually tend to complete my homework in the library, which I am not able to complete in my classes.
The phrase 'the homework which I'm not able to complete in my classes' is awkward; restructuring improves clarity.
× I'm very dedicated toward achieving a good score in my academics, so I don't usually read in the library.
✓ I'm very dedicated to achieving a good score in my academics, so I don't usually read in the library.
The correct preposition after 'dedicated' is 'to', not 'toward'.
× No, I did not go to the library when I was a kid quite often.
✓ No, I did not go to the library very often when I was a kid.
The adverb 'quite often' is awkward in negative past tense; 'very often' is more appropriate and the adverb should be placed after the verb phrase.
× As a child all I was always enthusiastic to buy such books and to read such comics.
✓ As a child, I was always enthusiastic about buying such books and reading such comics.
The original sentence has incorrect word order and preposition; 'enthusiastic about' is the correct phrase, and gerunds are used after it.
× So I would go to the library sometimes just to find those books and take insights from it.
✓ So I would go to the library sometimes just to find those books and gain insights from them.
The phrase 'take insights from it' is incorrect; 'gain insights from them' is the correct expression, and pronoun should agree in number.
× Yes, I think they go at frequent rate to visit to read more books.
✓ Yes, I think they go frequently to read more books.
The phrase 'at frequent rate to visit to read' is awkward and incorrect; 'go frequently to read' is concise and correct.
