× I always stayed focused on my reading and studying.
✓ I always stay focused on my reading and studying.
The sentence is about a habitual action, so the present tense 'stay' should be used instead of the past tense 'stayed'.
× I I'm trying to find a quiet area to sit down and focusing effectively on my studying.
✓ I'm trying to find a quiet area to sit down and focus effectively on my studying.
After 'and', the verb should be in base form 'focus' to parallel 'to find'. Using 'focusing' is incorrect here because it breaks the parallel structure.
× When I was a kid, I didn't go to library often because I love to play more than studying.
✓ When I was a kid, I didn't go to the library often because I loved to play more than studying.
The noun 'library' requires the definite article 'the' in this context. Also, 'love' should be in past tense 'loved' to match the past time frame.
× So they are trying hard to go to the library often and pay attention a lot in studying.
✓ So they are trying hard to go to the library often and pay a lot of attention to studying.
The phrase 'pay attention a lot in studying' is incorrect. The correct phrase is 'pay a lot of attention to studying' where 'pay attention to' is the correct collocation and 'a lot of' quantifies 'attention'.
