考官
Do you often go to the library?
考生
Yeah, I, I would say, I wouldn't say it's as often I as I wanna go, but I used to go once a week on Saturdays with my sister and my friends. There's this really cool library that's found pretty far from my house and I really like it.
考官
What do you usually do in the library?
考生
So it might be funny but with my sister we used to only go there for the free Internet since we were not allowed to have them or to like have Internet in the house. And we used to tell my parents to go to the library just to see YouTube and stuff like that. But I really do enjoy it though.
考官
Did you go to the library when you were a kid?
考生
No, I actually never went to the library. Umm, yeah, I I never thought about the library that way, but I used to read at home at that time, so I didn't really go to the library when I was a kid.
考官
Do Chinese kids often go to the library?
考生
I, I don't know how to answer that question, but I, I'd say they do. Umm, I really don't have any Chinese friends, so I don't know how you know, like I don't know if they go or not, but I feel like Chinese kids are really smart, so I think they do.

× I wouldn't say it's as often I as I wanna go
✓ I wouldn't say I go as often as I want to
The original sentence has incorrect word order and missing verb forms, causing confusion in expressing frequency. The correction rearranges the sentence to the correct comparative structure 'as often as' and uses the correct verb forms 'I go' and 'I want to' for clarity.
× There's this really cool library that's found pretty far from my house
✓ There's this really cool library that's located pretty far from my house
The phrase 'that's found' is awkward and less natural in this context. Using 'that's located' is more appropriate to describe the position of the library. This improves clarity and naturalness of the sentence.
× with my sister we used to only go there for the free Internet since we were not allowed to have them or to like have Internet in the house
✓ with my sister we used to only go there for the free Internet since we were not allowed to have it or to have Internet in the house
The pronoun 'them' is incorrectly used to refer to 'Internet', which is uncountable and singular. The correct pronoun is 'it'. Also, 'to like have Internet' is informal and unnecessary; 'to have Internet' suffices.
× we used to tell my parents to go to the library just to see YouTube and stuff like that
✓ we used to tell my parents we were going to the library just to watch YouTube and stuff like that
The original sentence incorrectly suggests telling parents to go to the library. The correction clarifies that they told parents about their own visit. Also, 'see YouTube' is unnatural; 'watch YouTube' is correct.
× No, I actually never went to the library
✓ No, I actually have never gone to the library
Using present perfect 'have never gone' is more appropriate here to express experience up to now, especially since the question is about childhood experience. 'Never went' is simple past and less suitable for this context.
× I don't know how you know, like I don't know if they go or not
✓ I don't know, like, if they go or not
The phrase 'I don't know how you know' is confusing and unnecessary. Simplifying to 'I don't know, like, if they go or not' improves clarity and correctness.
