考官
Do you often go to the library?
考生
Not really. I prefer reading and studying at my home in my own room because it gives me a sense of comfort and familiarity which I won't get in the library. And I love where I can. I can only study where my mind feels at peace.
考官
What do you usually do in the library?
考生
The times where I go to library, I usually take books for my academic subjects because books here are very expensive to buy. So I usually lend it from the library. They lend it to us for a certain period of time and after we finish our examination, we have to return it back to them.
考官
Did you go to the library when you were a kid?
考生
Not really, my most of my time were spent with my father where he used to teach me about my subject and different variety of courses. So I didn't have much time to go to library and since I was admitted very young I didn't have any.

Do Chinese kids often go to the library?
考生
Well, I don't have idea about that because I'm Nepalese and ******* people don't usually go to the library because most of the information are given to them by their teachers and they are mostly dependent on the Internet sources and the material that their teachers provide.

× I prefer reading and studying at my home in my own room because it gives me a sense of comfort and familiarity which I won't get in the library.
✓ I prefer reading and studying at home in my own room because it gives me a sense of comfort and familiarity which I won't get in the library.
The preposition 'at' is incorrectly used before 'my home'. In English, we usually say 'at home' without 'my' to indicate one's residence. Using 'at my home' is less common and sounds awkward here. Removing 'my' makes the sentence more natural.
× The times where I go to library, I usually take books for my academic subjects because books here are very expensive to buy.
✓ The times when I go to the library, I usually take books for my academic subjects because books here are very expensive to buy.
The phrase 'where I go to library' is incorrect. 'Where' is not appropriate for referring to time; 'when' should be used instead. Also, 'library' needs the definite article 'the' because it refers to a specific place known to both speaker and listener.
× The times where I go to library, I usually take books for my academic subjects because books here are very expensive to buy.
✓ The times when I go to the library, I usually take books for my academic subjects because books here are very expensive to buy.
The noun 'library' is a singular countable noun and requires the definite article 'the' when referring to a specific library. Omitting 'the' is incorrect here.
× So I usually lend it from the library.
✓ So I usually borrow them from the library.
The verb 'lend' means to give something temporarily, but the student is the one receiving books, so 'borrow' is the correct verb. Also, 'books' is plural, so 'them' should be used instead of 'it'.
× They lend it to us for a certain period of time and after we finish our examination, we have to return it back to them.
✓ They lend them to us for a certain period of time and after we finish our examination, we have to return them to them.
Again, 'it' should be 'them' to agree with the plural 'books'. Also, 'return it back' is redundant; 'return' already implies 'back', so 'back' should be omitted.
× Not really, my most of my time were spent with my father where he used to teach me about my subject and different variety of courses.
✓ Not really, most of my time was spent with my father where he used to teach me about my subjects and different varieties of courses.
'Most of my time' is singular and requires the singular verb 'was' instead of 'were'. Also, 'my subject' should be plural 'my subjects' to match 'different variety of courses'. 'Variety' should be pluralized to 'varieties' when referring to multiple types.
× So I didn't have much time to go to library and since I was admitted very young I didn't have any.
✓ So I didn't have much time to go to the library and since I was admitted very young I didn't have any.
Again, 'library' requires the definite article 'the' when referring to a specific place. 'Go to library' is incorrect; it should be 'go to the library'.
× Well, I don't have idea about that because I'm Nepalese and ******* people don't usually go to the library because most of the information are given to them by their teachers and they are mostly dependent on the Internet sources and the material that their teachers provide.
✓ Well, I don't have an idea about that because I'm Nepalese and Nepalese people don't usually go to the library because most of the information is given to them by their teachers and they are mostly dependent on the Internet sources and the material that their teachers provide.
The phrase 'I don't have idea' is missing the article 'an' before 'idea'. The placeholder '*******' should be replaced with 'Nepalese' to match the nationality mentioned. Also, 'information' is an uncountable noun and takes singular verb 'is' instead of 'are'.
