× Yes, I often go to the university library for making notes and borrow reference books that help me to understand the subjects better.
✓ Yes, I often go to the university library to make notes and borrow reference books that help me to understand the subjects better.
The phrase 'for making notes' is incorrect because after 'for' we use the gerund form to express purpose, but here the correct expression is 'to make notes' to indicate purpose. Using 'to make' is more appropriate and common in this context.
× I go to the library and make notes from uh reference books.
✓ I go to the library and make notes from reference books.
The filler 'uh' is unnecessary and should be omitted for clarity. Also, 'make notes from reference books' is correct; no preposition error here, but removing 'uh' improves sentence clarity.
× I used to borrow story books, comics, and specially adventure and uh, fairy tale books which I really enjoyed to read.
✓ I used to borrow story books, comics, and especially adventure and fairy tale books which I really enjoyed reading.
The word 'specially' is incorrect here; the correct adverb is 'especially' to indicate emphasis. Also, 'enjoyed to read' is incorrect; the verb 'enjoy' is followed by the gerund form, so it should be 'enjoyed reading.'
× Chinese student might go to library, but I don't know that.
✓ Chinese students might go to the library, but I don't know that.
The noun 'student' should be plural 'students' to agree with the modal verb 'might' indicating general possibility. Also, 'go to library' needs the definite article 'the' before 'library.'
× But in Bangladesh, uh, generally kids don't go to library, their mobile libraries that come to their area, some of them borrow from those.
✓ But in Bangladesh, generally kids don't go to the library; there are mobile libraries that come to their area, and some of them borrow from those.
The phrase 'go to library' requires the definite article 'the' before 'library.' Also, the original sentence is a run-on; it needs to be split or connected properly. Adding 'there are' before 'mobile libraries' corrects the sentence structure and clarifies meaning.
