× nowadays I don't have enough time to visit library
✓ nowadays I don't have enough time to visit the library
The noun 'library' is a specific place here, so it requires the definite article 'the' before it. In English, when referring to a specific place known to both speaker and listener, 'the' is used before the noun.
× when I was at school, I used to go library more
✓ when I was at school, I used to go to the library more
The verb 'go' requires the preposition 'to' before a place. Also, 'library' is a specific place, so it needs the definite article 'the'. Therefore, 'go to the library' is correct.
× I used to go library more and used to do my homework at the library and I find.
✓ I used to go to the library more and used to do my homework there.
The sentence is incomplete and awkward. 'I find' is incomplete and unclear. Also, 'go library' lacks the preposition 'to'. The corrected sentence removes the unclear part and uses 'there' to avoid repetition.
× I usually do variety of tasks.
✓ I usually do a variety of tasks.
The phrase 'variety of' requires an article 'a' before it. Without 'a', the phrase is grammatically incorrect.
× I usually go to the library mainly because to do research or study
✓ I usually go to the library mainly to do research or study
The phrase 'because to do' is incorrect. The correct form is 'because' followed by a clause or 'mainly to do' without 'because'. Here, 'mainly to do' is appropriate.
× because in the library the environment is always quiet and peaceful.
✓ because the environment in the library is always quiet and peaceful.
The prepositional phrase is better placed as 'the environment in the library' rather than 'in the library the environment' for natural English word order.
× I used to go to the library for doing anything like doing homework, to do research, because I can focus more.
✓ I used to go to the library to do various things like homework and research because I could focus better.
The phrase 'for doing anything like doing homework' is awkward. 'To do' is the correct infinitive form after 'go to the library'. Also, 'can' should be 'could' to match past tense. 'Focus more' is better expressed as 'focus better'.
× I think Chinese kids often go to the library because, uh, we can get peaceful and quiet environment
✓ I think Chinese kids often go to the library because, uh, we can get a peaceful and quiet environment
The noun phrase 'peaceful and quiet environment' requires an article 'a' before it because it is a singular countable noun.
× and we can concentrate on our study Also, uh, we can research more and more, uh, because there are.
✓ and we can concentrate on our studies. Also, uh, we can do more research because there are resources available.
The sentence is incomplete and lacks proper punctuation. 'Study' should be plural 'studies' to refer to academic work in general. 'Research more and more' is awkward; 'do more research' is better. The sentence ends abruptly with 'because there are' which is incomplete; it needs an object like 'resources available'.
