Grammar
× I like to meet with my friends there and read books that we share.
✓ I like to meet my friends there and read books that we share.
The preposition 'with' is unnecessary after 'meet' in this context. The verb 'meet' can be used directly with the object 'my friends' without 'with'. Removing 'with' makes the sentence grammatically correct.
× we went a lot to sightsee and to different kinds of museum all around the world.
✓ we went a lot to sightsee and to different kinds of museums all around the world.
The noun 'museum' should be plural 'museums' because it refers to multiple types of museums. Also, the preposition 'to' before 'different kinds of museum' is correct, but the noun needs to be plural to match the meaning.
