× I rarely go to the library because it's far from my house and I don't have much time to go to library prefer, although I prefer PDF books.
✓ I rarely go to the library because it's far from my house and I don't have much time to go to the library, although I prefer PDF books.
The phrase 'go to library prefer' is incorrect because it lacks the definite article 'the' before 'library' and has an extra word 'prefer' misplaced. The correct phrase is 'go to the library'. Also, 'prefer' should be connected properly to the sentence. The corrected sentence clarifies the meaning and uses the correct preposition and article.
× I rarely go to the library because it's far from my house and I don't have much time to go to library prefer, although I prefer PDF books.
✓ I rarely go to the library because it's far from my house and I don't have much time to go to the library; however, I prefer PDF books.
The original sentence incorrectly combines ideas with 'although' and a misplaced 'prefer'. Using a semicolon and 'however' properly connects the contrasting ideas. This improves sentence structure and clarity.
× Usually I choose my favorite book, sit at the desk and start reading.
✓ Usually I choose my favorite book, sit at a desk, and start reading.
The phrase 'sit at the desk' implies a specific desk known to both speaker and listener, which may not be the case. Using 'a desk' is more appropriate when referring to any desk in the library. Also, adding a comma before 'and' improves readability.
× Mostly I prefer to read detective stories 'cause it's very interesting for me and engaging.
✓ Mostly I prefer to read detective stories because they are very interesting and engaging to me.
The pronoun 'it' incorrectly refers to 'detective stories', which is plural. The correct pronoun is 'they'. Also, 'cause' is informal; 'because' is more appropriate in this context.
× When I was a kid, it wasn't any library in my city because it was 90s.
✓ When I was a kid, there wasn't any library in my city because it was the 90s.
The phrase 'it wasn't any library' is incorrect. The correct structure uses 'there wasn't any library' to indicate the absence of something. Also, 'the 90s' requires the definite article 'the'.
× My mom, always my mom used to give me books.
✓ My mom, always, used to give me books.
The phrase 'always my mom' is awkward and redundant. Placing 'always' after 'my mom' and setting it off with commas improves clarity and flow. The past tense 'used to give' is correct.
× I have no any idea if Chinese kids often go to the library because I live in Georgia in Tbilisi so I have never been to China so I can't answer on this question.
✓ I have no idea if Chinese kids often go to the library because I live in Tbilisi, Georgia, and I have never been to China, so I can't answer this question.
The phrase 'no any idea' is incorrect; 'no idea' is correct. Also, 'answer on this question' should be 'answer this question'. Commas improve sentence clarity.
