× When I was a child, I often go to the library for reading books because, umm, when I was a child.
✓ When I was a child, I often went to the library to read books because, umm, when I was a child.
The sentence refers to a past time ('when I was a child'), so the verb 'go' should be in the past tense 'went' to maintain tense consistency. Also, 'for reading books' is better expressed as 'to read books' to indicate purpose.
× There isn't many, uh, entertainment activities back then,
✓ There weren't many, uh, entertainment activities back then,
The phrase 'There isn't many' is incorrect because 'activities' is plural and the time referred to is past ('back then'). Therefore, the correct form is 'There weren't many' to agree in number and tense.
× but uh, when I grow up, I usually go to the library because I have to do homework or revise for examinations.
✓ but uh, when I grew up, I usually went to the library because I had to do homework or revise for examinations.
The phrase 'when I grow up' refers to a past event, so it should be 'when I grew up'. Similarly, 'I usually go' and 'I have to' should be in the past tense 'I usually went' and 'I had to' to maintain tense consistency.
× I often go to the library for reading books
✓ I often go to the library to read books
The preposition 'for' followed by a gerund is less appropriate here. The infinitive form 'to read' better expresses purpose in this context.
× For now, I usually like revise or do homework when I'm still studying in the library because I think library is a really good place for studying.
✓ For now, I usually like to revise or do homework when I'm studying in the library because I think the library is a really good place for studying.
The verb 'like' should be followed by the infinitive 'to revise' rather than the base form 'revise'. Also, 'when I'm still studying' is redundant; 'when I'm studying' suffices. The definite article 'the' is needed before 'library' as it refers to a specific place.
× Of course it's really quiet and there isn't many attract different attraction distraction,
✓ Of course it's really quiet and there aren't many different attractions or distractions,
'There isn't many' is incorrect because 'attractions' and 'distractions' are plural nouns; the correct form is 'there aren't many'. Also, 'attract different attraction distraction' is incorrect and unclear; it should be 'different attractions or distractions'.
× so it is a perfect Pennsylvania place for revising.
✓ so it is a perfect place for revising.
'Pennsylvania' is a proper noun and does not function as an adjective here; it seems misplaced. Removing it clarifies the sentence.
× So I usually can head up to the library for like a 10 minutes walk and there is many different activities will hold held by the library during weekends so I will usually go and participate in those events.
✓ So I could usually head up to the library for like a 10-minute walk and there were many different activities held by the library during weekends, so I would usually go and participate in those events.
The sentence refers to past habits, so modal verbs and verbs should be in past tense: 'can' to 'could', 'is' to 'were', and 'will hold held' is incorrect; 'held' is the correct past participle. Also, '10 minutes walk' should be '10-minute walk' as a compound adjective.
× So I think umm, you Chinese parents especially will want their kids going to the library to.
✓ So I think umm, Chinese parents especially will want their kids to go to the library too.
The pronoun 'you' is incorrect here; it should be omitted or replaced with 'Chinese parents'. Also, 'going' should be 'to go' after 'want'. The word 'to' at the end is unnecessary and 'too' is the correct word to express 'also'.
