× In the past, I often go to the library near my house because the library is just three miles away.

✓ In the past, I often went to the library near my house because the library was just three miles away.

The sentence refers to a past time ('In the past'), so the verb 'go' should be in the past tense 'went' to match the time frame. Similarly, 'is' should be 'was' to maintain past tense consistency.

× Especially my senior year is coming closer than ever, so I don't have enough time to go to a library and read books anymore.

✓ Especially my senior year is coming closer than ever, so I don't have enough time to go to the library and read books anymore.

The phrase 'a library' is incorrect here because it refers to a specific library previously mentioned; therefore, the definite article 'the' should be used instead of the indefinite article 'a'.

× When I first arrived to the library, the first thing I do is to come to the novel section and choose my wanted to read novels, and then I will sit at a corner and read the novel.

✓ When I first arrived at the library, the first thing I do is to come to the novel section and choose the novels I want to read, and then I will sit in a corner and read the novel.

The correct preposition after 'arrived' is 'at' not 'to'. Also, 'my wanted to read novels' is incorrect; it should be 'the novels I want to read'. Additionally, 'sit at a corner' should be 'sit in a corner' because 'in' is used for enclosed spaces.

× When I first arrived to the library, the first thing I do is to come to the novel section and choose my wanted to read novels, and then I will sit at a corner and read the novel.

✓ When I first arrived at the library, the first thing I did was to come to the novel section and choose the novels I wanted to read, and then I would sit in a corner and read the novel.

Since the sentence starts with 'When I first arrived', which is past tense, the verbs 'do' and 'choose' should be in past tense 'did' and 'chose' respectively. Also, 'will sit' should be 'would sit' to maintain past tense narrative.

× Growing up I heard a lot of compliments from my friends saying that I'm a complete nut because they say that my nose always stick in the book.

✓ Growing up I heard a lot of compliments from my friends saying that I'm a complete nut because they say that my nose always sticks in the book.

The verb 'stick' should be in third person singular present tense 'sticks' to agree with the singular subject 'my nose'.

× So I would say that I go to the library quite often.

✓ So I would say that I went to the library quite often.

The phrase 'would say' implies a past habitual action, so 'go' should be in past tense 'went' to maintain consistency.

× When I was a kid maybe twice a week my mom would take me to the library and leave me there for about a couple hour while she out doing.

✓ When I was a kid, maybe twice a week, my mom would take me to the library and leave me there for about a couple of hours while she was out doing things.

The phrase 'a couple hour' should be 'a couple of hours' to be grammatically correct. Also, 'she out doing' is incomplete and should be 'she was out doing things' to form a proper past continuous tense.

× When I was a kid maybe twice a week my mom would take me to the library and leave me there for about a couple hour while she out doing.

✓ When I was a kid, maybe twice a week, my mom would take me to the library and leave me there for about a couple of hours while she was out doing things.

The preposition 'for' is correctly used, but 'a couple hour' is incorrect; it should be 'a couple of hours'. Also, the phrase 'she out doing' lacks the verb 'was' and an object, so it should be 'she was out doing things'.

× I think with the leading edge of technology nowadays, Chinese kids tend to stay at home and focus on the Internet more than going outside to the library and read books.

✓ I think with the leading edge of technology nowadays, Chinese kids tend to stay at home and focus on the Internet more than going outside to the library and reading books.

After 'more than', parallel structure requires the gerund form 'reading' to match 'going'.
