Did you go to the library when you were a kid?

If I want to be honest, I should say no because I wasn't a good reader of books when I was a child and this habit shaped me in my 12 years old when I was 12. And it's because of my school system and restrictions. So I should say no, I'm not. Didn't go to the library.

Olympia, as has there, have shown that they often go to the libraries in their country from the lower age, like 8 or 7 years old and a natural habit of Chinese people and their child. So I should say yes, they often go to the library.

× Yes, I frequently go to my neighborhood library because there is a full document library.
✓ Yes, I frequently go to my neighborhood library because it has a full collection of documents.
The phrase 'there is a full document library' is incorrect because 'library' is a place, not a collection. The correct expression is to say the library 'has' a full collection of documents. This corrects the 'There be' issue by properly describing the existence of the collection within the library.
× They offer a wide range of facilities like praying room, snack machine and dining room and especially the men and women separated reading songs and these lovely place and quiet for reading.
✓ They offer a wide range of facilities like a praying room, snack machines, and a dining room, and especially separate reading rooms for men and women; these are lovely places and quiet for reading.
The original sentence has singular/plural mismatches: 'praying room' should be 'a praying room', 'snack machine' should be plural 'snack machines' if more than one, 'reading songs' is incorrect and should be 'reading rooms', and 'these lovely place' should be 'these lovely places'. Correcting these improves clarity and grammatical agreement.
× Add two options for main library versus I read my own books in there and second one is I borrow some books from them.
✓ I have two options at the main library: first, I read my own books there; second, I borrow some books from them.
The original sentence is fragmented and unclear. It lacks proper sentence structure and connectors. Rewriting it with clear options and proper punctuation corrects the sentence structure error.
× I read a summary of books from storage of library and I decide to borrow them from them or no?
✓ I read summaries of books from the library's storage and decide whether to borrow them or not.
The phrase 'from storage of library' is awkward and incorrect; it should be 'from the library's storage'. Also, 'decide to borrow them from them or no?' is incorrect; it should be 'decide whether to borrow them or not'. This corrects preposition misuse and improves clarity.
× If I want to be honest, I should say no because I wasn't a good reader of books when I was a child and this habit shaped me in my 12 years old when I was 12.
✓ If I want to be honest, I should say no because I wasn't a good reader when I was a child, and this habit developed when I was 12 years old.
The phrase 'this habit shaped me in my 12 years old' is incorrect. The correct past tense expression is 'this habit developed when I was 12 years old'. This fixes the past tense issue and improves sentence clarity.
× So I should say no, I'm not. Didn't go to the library.
✓ So I should say no, I didn't go to the library.
The original sentence is fragmented and lacks proper verb structure. Combining the fragments into a complete sentence corrects the sentence structure error.
× I think yes, we have some amazing results from Chinese students, especially in international mathematics. Olympia, as has there, have shown that they often go to the libraries in their country from the lower age, like 8 or 7 years old and a natural habit of Chinese people and their child.
✓ I think yes, we have some amazing results from Chinese students, especially in international mathematics Olympiad, which has shown that they often go to libraries in their country from a young age, like 7 or 8 years old, and it is a natural habit of Chinese people and their children.
The phrase 'from the lower age' is incorrect; it should be 'from a young age'. Also, 'Olympia, as has there' is incorrect and should be 'Olympiad, which has'. Correcting these preposition and phrase errors improves clarity and grammatical correctness.
