Do you often go to the library?
考生
I recently just started going to my university library. I earlier used to hate going to libraries because it didn't make sense to me. But now that I've been going there regularly, not even missing a day, I actually acknowledge how much useful it is to be productive and go to the library and use it resources.
考官
What do you usually do in the library?
考生
As I mentioned earlier, library is a really quiet place and I have access to a lot of resources that I can find my studying content from, so it's really helpful for me to do research work on my subject that I'm pursuing, helps me gain a lot more knowledge and helps me stay focused.

Did you go to the library when you were a kid?
考生
During my time, there was no such concept of library in the 2000s, so we usually studied at a tutor's place assigned by either the school or by our parents who we pay monthly. There is no library or concept.

Do Chinese kids often go to the library?
考生
Even though I'm not a Chinese kid but I have seen plenty of videos how Chinese students studied 10 hours at school and then continued studying further in the library and go home just to sleep and then come back tomorrow to repeat the same process again. So they mostly spend studying in school and library.

× I recently just started going to my university library.
✓ I recently just started going to the university library.
In English, when referring to a specific place like 'university library' that is unique or known, the definite article 'the' is used. Saying 'my university library' is less common and can sound awkward; 'the university library' is the correct form here.
× ...and use it resources.
✓ ...and use its resources.
The possessive pronoun 'its' should be used to indicate that the resources belong to the library. Using 'it' before a noun is incorrect; 'its' is the correct possessive form.
× As I mentioned earlier, library is a really quiet place...
✓ As I mentioned earlier, the library is a really quiet place...
When referring to a specific place like 'library' in this context, the definite article 'the' is required before the noun to specify which library is being talked about.
× ...and use it resources.
✓ ...and use its resources.
The noun 'resources' is plural, so the possessive pronoun should agree accordingly. 'Its' is the correct possessive pronoun for singular 'library' owning plural 'resources'.
× ...that I can find my studying content from...
✓ ...from which I can find my study content...
Ending a sentence with a preposition like 'from' is often considered informal or incorrect in formal English. Rephrasing to 'from which' places the preposition before the relative pronoun, which is grammatically correct.
× During my time, there was no such concept of library in the 2000s...
✓ During my time, there was no such concept of a library in the 2000s...
When introducing a singular countable noun for the first time, the indefinite article 'a' is required. 'Library' is a singular countable noun, so 'a library' is correct here.
× There is no library or concept.
✓ There was no library or concept.
Since the sentence refers to the past ('During my time' and 'in the 2000s'), the verb should be in past tense 'was' instead of 'is' to maintain tense consistency.
× There is no library or concept.
✓ There was no library or concept.
The sentence refers to a past time period, so the verb 'is' should be changed to past tense 'was' to correctly reflect the time frame.
× ...how Chinese students studied 10 hours at school and then continued studying further in the library and go home just to sleep...
✓ ...how Chinese students studied for 10 hours at school and then continued studying further in the library and went home just to sleep...
The verb 'studied' requires the preposition 'for' to indicate duration ('studied for 10 hours'). Also, to maintain past tense consistency, 'go home' should be 'went home'.
× ...and then continued studying further in the library and go home just to sleep...
✓ ...and then continued studying further in the library and went home just to sleep...
The sentence is describing past events, so all verbs should be in past tense. 'Go' should be changed to 'went' to maintain tense consistency.
