Do you often go to the library?
Candidato
Not really, because I don't have enough time to go to the library. However, there's a library in my own college. Like I study in Sheraton College and there's one library. I mostly go there just for reading or, you know, for the quiet time.

What do you usually do in the library?
Candidato
Usually I just go and take a chair and just sit there because the environment is really quiet, so I like studying there and I just open my laptop and start studying. And sometimes I just go for a round and look for any particular books that I like, and if I like any book, I just take any of them and just sit and read it.

Did you go to the library when you were a kid?
Candidato
Oh yes, I used to visit one library. There was one close to my house and uh, there was my favorite uncle over there. He used to tell me that there are so many beautiful books, better books that you can read. And then I just visit the library and I found so many interesting books over there and there was a Barbie book and there was one fantasy book.

× Like I study in Sheraton College and there's one library.
✓ I study at Sheraton College and there is a library.
The phrase 'there's one library' is informal and slightly awkward. Using 'there is a library' is more appropriate. Also, 'study in Sheraton College' should be 'study at Sheraton College' because 'at' is the correct preposition for institutions like colleges.
× Like I study in Sheraton College and there's one library.
✓ I study at Sheraton College and there is a library.
The preposition 'in' is incorrect when referring to studying at an institution; the correct preposition is 'at'.
× Usually I just go and take a chair and just sit there because the environment is really quiet, so I like studying there and I just open my laptop and start studying.
✓ Usually I just go and take a chair and sit there because the environment is really quiet, so I like studying there; I just open my laptop and start studying.
The phrase 'take a chair' is awkward; 'take a seat' or simply 'sit down' is more natural. However, since the instruction is to only correct mistakes from the provided grammar problem list, and 'take a chair' is not listed as a problem, no correction is made here.
× And then I just visit the library and I found so many interesting books over there and there was a Barbie book and there was one fantasy book.
✓ And then I just visited the library and found so many interesting books over there; there was a Barbie book and a fantasy book.
The sentence mixes present tense 'visit' with past tense 'found'. Since the context is past, 'visit' should be 'visited' to maintain tense consistency.
× And whenever I visit any library I found like few Chinese they go there as well.
✓ And whenever I visit any library, I find a few Chinese students go there as well.
The sentence incorrectly uses 'found' (past tense) with 'whenever' (present habitual). Also, 'few Chinese they' is redundant; 'a few Chinese students' is clearer and grammatically correct.
× And whenever I visit any library I found like few Chinese they go there as well.
✓ And whenever I visit any library, I find a few Chinese students go there as well.
The use of 'found' is past tense, but 'whenever' indicates a habitual action, so present tense 'find' is appropriate.
