× Yes, I sometimes go to the library because changing the environment once a while makes me feel better.
✓ Yes, I sometimes go to the library because changing the environment once in a while makes me feel better.
The phrase 'once a while' is incorrect; the correct preposition is 'in' to form the idiom 'once in a while', meaning occasionally.
× Also the library nearby me nearby my home is a green building with a beautiful design.
✓ Also, the library near my home is a green building with a beautiful design.
The phrase 'nearby me nearby my home' is redundant and incorrect. 'Near my home' is the correct prepositional phrase to indicate location.
× It is even a spot tourist spot for photos.
✓ It is even a tourist spot for photos.
The phrase 'a spot tourist spot' is redundant and incorrectly ordered. The correct phrase is 'a tourist spot'.
× I often practice coding and English in library.
✓ I often practice coding and English in the library.
The noun 'library' requires the definite article 'the' when referring to a specific place.
× Since I recently I quit my job and prepare for the job interview, so I have to practice a lot of algorithm problems and English for the for international company test.
✓ Since I recently quit my job and am preparing for a job interview, I have to practice a lot of algorithm problems and English for the international company test.
The sentence has redundant conjunctions and incorrect verb forms. 'Since' introduces a reason, so 'so' is unnecessary. Also, 'prepare' should be in present continuous 'am preparing' to indicate ongoing action. The phrase 'for the for international company test' has an extra 'for' and should be corrected.
× Yes, I often went to the library when I was a kid.
✓ Yes, I often went to the library when I was a kid.
This sentence is correct in past tense; no correction needed.
× The most impressive story I remember there was the mathematician Goss, who was a genius when he was a child and he drew a 17 side Polygon by ruler and.
✓ The most impressive story I remember there is about the mathematician Goss, who was a genius when he was a child and drew a 17-sided polygon using a ruler.
The sentence has incomplete and awkward phrasing. 'Was' should be 'is' to indicate the story is currently remembered. '17 side Polygon' should be '17-sided polygon' with a hyphen and lowercase 'polygon'. 'By ruler and' is incomplete; 'using a ruler' is correct.
× Yes, because in Taiwan there is a heavy pressure of academic competition, so students after the regular course, they have to prepare their homework and the exam next day.
✓ Yes, because in Taiwan there is heavy pressure from academic competition, so students, after their regular courses, have to prepare their homework and the exam for the next day.
The phrase 'pressure of academic competition' should be 'pressure from academic competition'. 'After the regular course' should be 'after their regular courses'. 'The exam next day' needs the preposition 'for' and article 'the' to become 'the exam for the next day'.
× So this is a very common phenomenon.
✓ So, this is a very common phenomenon.
Adding a comma after 'So' improves sentence clarity and flow.
