× No I rarely visited library because I am more of a techno savvy person so mostly I am reading books via like ebooks or any online platforms and sometimes I like to hear books because we now we have a audio book as well.
✓ No, I rarely visit the library because I am more of a techno-savvy person, so mostly I read books via ebooks or online platforms, and sometimes I like to listen to books because now we have audiobooks as well.
The sentence incorrectly uses the past tense 'visited' when referring to a habitual action, which requires the present tense 'visit'. Also, 'reading' should be in simple present 'read' to match habitual action. 'Hear books' is incorrect; the correct verb is 'listen to books'. 'A audio book' should be 'an audiobook' due to vowel sound at the start of 'audiobook'. The sentence also needs commas for clarity.
× So that's why I did. I didn't need to visit.
✓ So that's why I don't need to visit.
The phrase 'I did' is incomplete and unclear. The second sentence uses past tense 'didn't need' incorrectly when referring to a current or habitual situation. The correct form is present tense 'don't need' to indicate ongoing relevance.
× As I mentioned earlier, uh, I rarely visit the library, but I do remember a time when I was a kid, uh, in 7th grade and I visited library with my grandfather.
✓ As I mentioned earlier, I rarely visit the library, but I do remember a time when I was a kid, in 7th grade, and I visited the library with my grandfather.
The phrase 'visited library' is missing the definite article 'the' before 'library'. Also, commas improve clarity. The tense usage is correct here.
× So at that time I just found one book which is really interesting to me and I start reading that book and I.
✓ So at that time, I just found one book which was really interesting to me, and I started reading that book.
The sentence mixes present tense 'is' and 'start' with past context. Both verbs should be in past tense 'was' and 'started' to maintain consistency. The sentence is incomplete and should end properly.
× Yes, I visited library I think one or two time the most, yeah, because of my work.
✓ Yes, I visited the library one or two times at most, because of my work.
'Visited library' lacks the definite article 'the'. 'One or two time' should be plural 'times'. The phrase 'the most' is better expressed as 'at most' to indicate maximum frequency.
× So I got a project from a school and for that I need to visit the library to find some specific book.
✓ So I got a project from school, and for that, I needed to visit the library to find some specific books.
'From a school' is better as 'from school' when referring to school in general. 'Need' should be past tense 'needed' to match past context. 'Some specific book' should be plural 'some specific books' or 'a specific book' for correctness.
× So which I did at that time and I have done my project in sitting in the library.
✓ So I did that at that time, and I completed my project while sitting in the library.
The phrase 'which I did' is awkward; 'I did that' is clearer. 'Have done' should be simple past 'completed' to match past narrative. 'In sitting in the library' is incorrect; 'while sitting in the library' is correct.
× Yes, I think so because whenever I have visited the library in here, uh, like a kitchen or Public Library, so I often notice a Chinese kid, they are doing their project, sitting there and doing some assignments.
✓ Yes, I think so because whenever I have visited the library here, like the kitchen or public library, I often notice Chinese kids doing their projects, sitting there and doing some assignments.
'In here' should be 'here'. 'A kitchen or Public Library' is unclear; likely 'the kitchen or public library' is intended. 'A Chinese kid, they are' is redundant; 'Chinese kids' is better. 'Doing their project' should be plural 'projects' to match plural 'kids'.
× So yeah, they are very sincere kids. Uh, so that's why I believe they are using libraries.
✓ So yeah, they are very sincere kids, so that's why I believe they use libraries.
'Using libraries' is correct but 'they use libraries' is more natural. The sentence is acceptable but can be improved for fluency.
