× I often go to live.
✓ I often go to the library.
The sentence uses an incorrect verb/object 'live' instead of the noun 'library'. This is a word choice/content error related to present-tense description. Use the correct noun to match meaning: 'I often go to the library.' Ensure the present simple is used for habitual actions.
× I often go to the library where near by my house it is new buildings and so they therefore they are so Cree clean and so comfortable space for us.
✓ I often go to the library near my house. It is in a new building and the space is very clean and comfortable for us.
Multiple problems: incorrect word order and unnecessary filler words. Use 'near my house' for location, use singular 'building' if referring to one, and use clear subject and verb: 'It is in a new building' and 'the space is very clean and comfortable.' Avoid redundant words like 'so therefore' and incorrect 'Cree' (typo). This restructures the sentence to a correct 'there is'/'it is' structure.
× I usually spend time to study about my major and I like reading.
✓ I usually spend time studying my major and I like reading.
Use the gerund 'studying' after 'spend time' rather than the infinitive 'to study'. Also 'study about my major' is unnatural; use 'studying my major.' This keeps present simple habitual meaning.
× So there I, I reading some books at there Often It is so good time to it is, uh, we, I can spend good time for there and I like, I like it.
✓ There I read some books. Often it is a good time; I can spend time there and I like it.
Replace incorrect 'reading' continuous form with simple present 'read' for habitual action. Remove redundant 'at there' (use 'there') and fix sentence fragments. Use 'it is a good time' rather than awkward phrasing. Keep present simple for routines.
× Actually, I didn't go to the library when I was a child because I I prefer go to the park.
✓ Actually, I didn't go to the library when I was a child because I preferred going to the park.
When describing past habits, use past tense 'preferred' not present 'prefer', and use the gerund 'going' after 'prefer'. Match past-tense context 'when I was a child' with past verbs.
× I I prefer go to the park to go to the library and but now I like go to the library.
✓ I preferred going to the park instead of going to the library, but now I like going to the library.
Again, use past tense 'preferred' and gerunds 'going' for preference. Remove extra conjunctions 'and but'. For the present contrasted change, use present simple 'I like going to the library.' Ensure clear contrast with 'but now.'
× Uh, honestly, I don't, I don't know about Chinese kids tend to so I can't uh, answer clearly, but I think, yeah, I Chinese kids often go to the library because they are so study hard.
✓ Honestly, I don't know whether Chinese kids tend to go to the library, so I can't answer clearly. But I think Chinese kids often go to the library because they study very hard.
Remove stuttering and fix clause structure: use 'whether...tend to go' to express uncertainty. 'I Chinese kids' is incorrect; use subject 'Chinese kids'. Use 'study very hard' (correct adverb placement and adjective use) instead of 'are so study hard.' Clarify sentence boundaries and verb forms.
