× No, I don't prefer to go to the library as I'm not interested in reading books, so I prefer to spend my time with my friends or with my family members.
✓ No, I don't like to go to the library as I'm not interested in reading books, so I prefer to spend my time with my friends or with my family members.
The verb 'prefer' is not typically used with 'do not' in this context to express dislike. Instead, 'like' is more appropriate to express preference or interest. Using 'don't prefer' is awkward and uncommon in English.
× As I did mention that I do not like to go to the library, so if I visit with somebody.
✓ As I mentioned, I do not like to go to the library, but if I visit with somebody,
The sentence is incomplete and contains redundant conjunctions 'as' and 'so'. 'Did mention' is unnecessarily complex; simple past 'mentioned' is better. Also, 'if I visit with somebody' needs to be connected properly to the rest of the sentence.
× So I prefer to see books only with uh which have pictures, not the ring ones because I do not like reading.
✓ So I prefer to look at books that have pictures, not the boring ones, because I do not like reading.
The phrase 'see books only with uh which have pictures' is incorrect. 'Look at books that have pictures' is the correct expression. Also, 'ring ones' is likely a mispronunciation of 'boring ones'. Pronouns and relative clauses need to be used correctly for clarity.
× Yes, definitely. Uh, I visit to the library when I was a kid because at that time in, uh, in school, we have a period, uh, of a library.
✓ Yes, definitely. Uh, I visited the library when I was a kid because at that time, in school, we had a library period.
The verb 'visit' should be in the past tense 'visited' to match 'when I was a kid'. Also, 'have' should be 'had' to maintain past tense consistency. 'Visit to the library' is incorrect; 'visited the library' is correct.
× So in that a teacher take us to the library, uh, so that we can gain more knowledge by reading the books.
✓ So during that, a teacher took us to the library so that we could gain more knowledge by reading books.
The verb 'take' should be in past tense 'took' to agree with the past context. Also, 'can' should be 'could' to maintain past tense consistency. 'In that a teacher' is awkward; 'during that' is clearer.
× Umm, I think so. They often go to the library as as all the children's, uh, go to the library.
✓ Umm, I think so. They often go to the library as all the children go to the library.
'Children's' is possessive and incorrect here; the plural noun 'children' is needed. Also, the repeated 'as' is redundant and should be removed.
× So I also think that they also go to increase their knowledge.
✓ So I also think that they go to increase their knowledge.
The sentence has redundant use of 'also'. Removing one 'also' improves clarity and flow.
