Examiner
Do you often go to the library?
Candidate
No I don't, I generally hate reading a book. Besides we I do have a library near my house. It is located near my house but I rarely go there and I prefer using an e-book at home 'cause it's more convenient and you can do it whenever you want.
Examiner
What do you usually do in the library?
Candidate
As I said for the first question, I don't really read the book, so when I go to the library, I usually study with my friends. But we need to be, we need to keep in quiet. So it's a great environment to get focused for the starting. So I usually go there before the big exam or whatever like that.
Examiner
Did you go to the library when you were a kid?
Candidate
Yes, I did. I remember that. There were like so many events that hailed by a library near my house and all of my friends and I went there to make a like a paint, like a paint or those kind of crafts.
Examiner
Do Chinese kids often go to the library?
Candidate
I'm not Chinese so I don't really know about it, but for my stereotype of Chinese kids I feel like they do study really often. So I guess they go to the library often for starting or like get more knowledge from the book.

× No I don't, I generally hate reading a book.
✓ No, I don't. I generally hate reading books.
The pronoun 'a book' is singular and specific, but the context suggests a general dislike for reading any books, so the plural 'books' is more appropriate here.
× Besides we I do have a library near my house.
✓ Besides, I do have a library near my house.
The phrase 'we I' is incorrect; it should be just 'I' as the subject pronoun referring to the speaker.
× It is located near my house but I rarely go there and I prefer using an e-book at home 'cause it's more convenient and you can do it whenever you want.
✓ It is located near my house, but I rarely go there, and I prefer using e-books at home because they're more convenient and you can use them whenever you want.
The phrase 'an e-book' should be plural 'e-books' to match the general preference. Also, 'do it' is vague; 'use them' is clearer. 'Cause' is informal; 'because' is better in formal speech.
× But we need to be, we need to keep in quiet.
✓ But we need to be, we need to keep quiet.
The phrase 'keep in quiet' is incorrect; the correct expression is 'keep quiet' without the preposition 'in'.
× So it's a great environment to get focused for the starting.
✓ So it's a great environment to get focused at the start.
The phrase 'for the starting' is awkward and incorrect; 'at the start' is the correct expression to indicate the beginning of something.
× There were like so many events that hailed by a library near my house and all of my friends and I went there to make a like a paint, like a paint or those kind of crafts.
✓ There were so many events held by a library near my house, and all of my friends and I went there to make paintings or those kinds of crafts.
The word 'hailed' is incorrect; the correct past participle is 'held' for events. Also, 'a like a paint' is incorrect; it should be 'paintings' to refer to artworks. 'Those kind of crafts' should be 'those kinds of crafts' to agree in number.
× So I guess they go to the library often for starting or like get more knowledge from the book.
✓ So I guess they go to the library often to start or to get more knowledge from books.
The phrase 'for starting' is incorrect; 'to start' is the correct infinitive form. Also, 'from the book' should be plural 'from books' to indicate general knowledge acquisition.
