Grammar

Article errors

× I used to go to library very often because my grandmother was working there at that time and I spent almost my free time with her.

I used to go to the library very often because my grandmother was working there at that time and I spent almost all my free time with her.

The noun 'library' is a countable singular noun that requires the definite article 'the' when referring to a specific known library. Also 'almost my free time' is unidiomatic; 'almost all my free time' is the correct phrase to express the extent. Suggestion: use 'the library' and the collocation 'almost all my free time' for natural English.

Present tense issue

× I don't use uh libraries any uh anymore, but as I know uh, today's library uh are very popular and but their purpose uh little bit changed.

I don't use libraries anymore, but as I know, today's libraries are very popular and their purpose has changed a bit.

Subject-verb agreement and tense consistency problems: 'library are' is incorrect because 'library' is singular; use plural 'libraries are'. Also 'their purpose little bit changed' lacks auxiliary and natural word order; use present perfect 'has changed a bit' to indicate recent change. Remove filler words and maintain tense.

Article errors

× Now library is a complex with different facilities with the rest uh various rooms.

Now the library is a complex with different facilities and various rooms.

Use 'the library' when speaking about a specific concept of 'the library' in general. The conjunction and preposition usage was awkward: replace 'with the rest uh various rooms' with 'and various rooms'. Suggestion: simplify and use correct articles and conjunctions.

Past tense issue

× I do used to go to the library very often in my childhood because my grandmother was working there at that time and I spent a lot of time there.

I used to go to the library very often in my childhood because my grandmother worked there at that time and I spent a lot of time there.

The phrase 'do used to' is incorrect; the correct past habitual form is 'used to'. Also 'was working there' can be simplified to past simple 'worked there' since it describes a habitual/longer past state. Suggestion: use 'used to' and past simple for habitual past actions.

Article errors

× I like, I like it a lot. I, I like, uh, I prefer reading different books.

I like it a lot. I prefer reading different books.

Main issues are redundancy and filler words rather than strict grammar types from the list; however 'reading different books' is acceptable but better as 'reading a variety of books'. Suggestion: remove repeated fragments and fillers, and prefer idiomatic collocation 'a variety of books'.

Article errors

× Yes, China supports, uh, Chinese government supports reading and the, in their culture, uh, so at almost every school has a library and uh, key uh, children, uh, has a very high level of reading among the teenagers and kids.

Yes, the Chinese government supports reading, and in their culture almost every school has a library. Children have a very high level of reading among teenagers and kids.

Multiple article and subject-verb agreement errors: use 'the Chinese government' with the definite article and singular verb 'supports'. The clause 'so at almost every school has a library' has wrong word order; correct to 'almost every school has a library'. 'Key children has' is ungrammatical; use 'Children have'. Also avoid repetition 'teenagers and kids' or rephrase. Suggestion: reorder clauses, use correct articles, and match plural subjects with plural verbs.
