What do you usually do in the library?
Candidato
I usually get preparation for my upcoming course or working on my assessments and sometimes I do have a coffee chat with my friends in the library as well. Also because they usually have a lot of different activities holding in the library, I do enjoy take taking part in it as well.

Did you go to the library when you were a kid?
Candidato
Yes I did. I enjoyed looking for a lot of different books in the library when I was a kid because there wasn't a lot of recreation stuff for us to do. Instead of staying at home or work coming out with my friends, I did sometimes stay in the library or playing some chess with my friends there.

Do Chinese kids often go to the library?
Candidato
Yes, exactly, because Chinese parents always sat a bit higher expectations on their kids academic work and they hope their kids can stay in the library for further education or even other activities which could improve their academical thinking.

× I usually go to the library once or twice a week as I really enjoy starting there and a quiet umm environment.
✓ I usually go to the library once or twice a week as I really enjoy studying there and the quiet, umm, environment.
The phrase 'starting there' is incorrect; the intended meaning is likely 'studying there'. Also, 'a quiet umm environment' should be 'the quiet, umm, environment' to correctly use the definite article and commas for clarity.
× Even sometimes I do like to have some activities with some other people or have a coffee with my friends in the library.
✓ Sometimes I do like to do some activities with other people or have a coffee with my friends in the library.
The phrase 'have some activities with some other people' is awkward; 'do some activities with other people' is more natural. Also, 'Even sometimes' is redundant; 'Sometimes' suffices.
× I usually get preparation for my upcoming course or working on my assessments and sometimes I do have a coffee chat with my friends in the library as well.
✓ I usually prepare for my upcoming course or work on my assessments, and sometimes I have a coffee chat with my friends in the library as well.
The original sentence mixes verb forms incorrectly ('get preparation' and 'working'). It should use parallel verb forms: 'prepare' and 'work'. Also, 'do have' is unnecessary; 'have' is sufficient.
× Also because they usually have a lot of different activities holding in the library, I do enjoy take taking part in it as well.
✓ Also, because they usually have a lot of different activities held in the library, I do enjoy taking part in them as well.
The phrase 'activities holding in the library' is incorrect; it should be 'activities held in the library'. Also, 'take taking' is a typo; it should be 'taking'. 'It' should be 'them' to agree with the plural 'activities'.
× Instead of staying at home or work coming out with my friends, I did sometimes stay in the library or playing some chess with my friends there.
✓ Instead of staying at home or going out with my friends, I sometimes stayed in the library or played some chess with my friends there.
The phrase 'work coming out with my friends' is incorrect; it should be 'going out with my friends'. Also, 'did sometimes stay' is awkward; 'sometimes stayed' is better. 'Playing' should be 'played' to maintain past tense consistency.
× Yes, exactly, because Chinese parents always sat a bit higher expectations on their kids academic work and they hope their kids can stay in the library for further education or even other activities which could improve their academical thinking.
✓ Yes, exactly, because Chinese parents always set higher expectations on their kids' academic work and they hope their kids can stay in the library for further education or even other activities which could improve their academic thinking.
The verb 'sat' is incorrect; it should be 'set' for expectations. 'A bit higher expectations' should be 'higher expectations' without 'a bit'. 'Kids academic work' needs a possessive apostrophe: 'kids' academic work'. 'Academical' is incorrect; the correct adjective is 'academic'.
