Did you go to the library when you were a kid?

Actually I don't. At that time I was not very fond of reading, so I seldom go there and also I think it is time consuming. I would rather spend time on playing at that time, like maybe riding bicycle or even watching TV.

Do Chinese kids often go to the library?

Well, people in my country they may. I think so, as they love studying very much and many students treat studying as their only thing in their life, as the only thing in their life. So to be more concentrated in this, they will visit those like they visit a local library and to.

× Actually, I think that's going to library and read is a very good way to learn things and also library is the best place to study as we cannot be disturbed by others.
✓ Actually, I think that going to the library and reading is a very good way to learn things, and also the library is the best place to study as we cannot be disturbed by others.
The phrase 'that's going to library and read' is incorrect because after 'think that', a gerund phrase should be used to express the activity. 'Going' and 'reading' are the correct gerund forms here. Also, 'library' needs the definite article 'the' before it.
× Actually, I think that's going to library and read is a very good way to learn things and also library is the best place to study as we cannot be disturbed by others.
✓ Actually, I think that going to the library and reading is a very good way to learn things, and also the library is the best place to study as we cannot be disturbed by others.
The noun 'library' is a specific place and requires the definite article 'the' before it. Omitting 'the' before 'library' is incorrect in this context.
× The place is relatively quiet and it is surrounded by books.
✓ The place is relatively quiet and it is surrounded by books.
This sentence is correct; no article errors are present here.
× Well usually I go there to read books but this is a talk this talks about like few years ago.
✓ Well, usually I go there to read books, but this is about a time a few years ago.
The original sentence is confusing and ungrammatical. 'This is a talk this talks about like few years ago' is unclear. It should be rephrased to clarify the time frame and meaning. Adding commas and restructuring improves clarity.
× Now I seldom go there but some of my friends will visit there.
✓ Now I seldom go there, but some of my friends visit there.
The modal 'will' is unnecessary here for habitual actions. Also, 'visit there' is acceptable but 'visit' alone is sufficient. The plural 'friends' is correct.
× Would visit there from time to time for studying.
✓ They would visit there from time to time for studying.
The sentence is incomplete and lacks a subject. Adding 'They' clarifies who would visit. 'Would' is used correctly to indicate habitual past action.
× Actually I don't.
✓ Actually, I didn't.
The question is about past behavior ('Did you go to the library when you were a kid?'), so the answer should be in the past tense. 'Don't' is present tense; 'didn't' is correct here.
× At that time I was not very fond of reading, so I seldom go there and also I think it is time consuming.
✓ At that time, I was not very fond of reading, so I seldom went there, and also I thought it was time-consuming.
The sentence refers to past time ('at that time'), so verbs should be in past tense: 'seldom went', 'thought', and 'was time-consuming'. 'Time consuming' should be hyphenated as a compound adjective.
× I would rather spend time on playing at that time, like maybe riding bicycle or even watching TV.
✓ I would rather spend time playing at that time, like maybe riding a bicycle or even watching TV.
The phrase 'spend time on playing' is incorrect; it should be 'spend time playing'. Also, 'riding bicycle' requires the article 'a' before 'bicycle'.
× Well, people in my country they may.
✓ Well, people in my country may.
The pronoun 'they' is redundant after 'people in my country'. Removing 'they' improves sentence correctness and fluency.
× I think so, as they love studying very much and many students treat studying as their only thing in their life, as the only thing in their life.
✓ I think so, as they love studying very much, and many students treat studying as the only thing in their life.
The phrase 'as the only thing in their life' is repeated unnecessarily. Removing the repetition improves sentence clarity and structure.
× So to be more concentrated in this, they will visit those like they visit a local library and to.
✓ So to concentrate more on this, they will visit places like the local library.
The phrase 'to be more concentrated in this' is incorrect; 'to concentrate more on this' is correct. Also, 'visit those like they visit a local library and to' is ungrammatical and unclear; rephrasing to 'visit places like the local library' is clearer and grammatically correct.
