× Actually, I don't go to library very often.
✓ Actually, I don't go to the library very often.
The noun 'library' is a singular countable noun and requires the definite article 'the' when referring to a specific place known to both speaker and listener. Omitting 'the' before 'library' is incorrect in this context.
× I prefer reading books by myself in my home because I like to sit in a comfortable area and to read my favorite genres without being interrupted by the others.
✓ I prefer reading books by myself at home because I like to sit in a comfortable area and read my favorite genres without being interrupted by others.
The preposition 'in' is incorrect when referring to one's home; 'at home' is the correct expression. Also, 'the others' is unnecessary here; 'others' suffices without the definite article.
× I like to sit or to lay down while I'm reading and then to drink a hot cup of coffee.
✓ I like to sit or lie down while I'm reading and then drink a hot cup of coffee.
The verb 'lay' requires an object and is incorrect here; the correct verb is 'lie' (to recline). Also, after 'like to', the infinitive form is used, but mixing 'to sit or to lie' is acceptable; however, removing 'to' before 'drink' improves fluency.
× I usually borrow some books which are not available in bookstores and sometimes I prefer going there to look for resources because as you know that it's not allowed to take these books out of the library.
✓ I usually borrow some books that are not available in bookstores and sometimes I prefer going there to look for resources because, as you know, it is not allowed to take these books out of the library.
The relative pronoun 'which' is better replaced by 'that' in restrictive clauses. Also, 'it's not allowed' is better expressed as 'it is not allowed' for formality, and commas are needed around 'as you know' for clarity.
× So I prefer going there and then they start looking for the resources I need for my school research.
✓ So I prefer going there and then start looking for the resources I need for my school research.
The pronoun 'they' is incorrect here because the subject is 'I'. The sentence should maintain the first person singular subject throughout.
× Yes, I did. I used to go to a library when I was a kid.
✓ Yes, I did. I used to go to the library when I was a kid.
When referring to a specific library known in context, the definite article 'the' is appropriate rather than the indefinite 'a'.
× Usually during school trips. They afford us a a weekly trips to the to the to neighborhood libraries in order to encourage us to become a excellent reader.
✓ Usually during school trips. They afforded us weekly trips to the neighborhood libraries in order to encourage us to become excellent readers.
The phrase 'a a weekly trips' is incorrect; 'weekly trips' without 'a' is correct. Also, 'afford' should be in past tense 'afforded' to match 'used to'. The repeated 'to the' is an error and should be corrected to a single 'to the'. 'A excellent reader' should be 'an excellent reader' and pluralized to 'readers' to match 'us'.
× Nowadays, no children are not interested in reading books nowadays because of the heavy schedules so and the heavy loads and assessment assignments that have they have to follow in after going back to home so after doing after a long day and after following their assignments.
✓ Nowadays, children are not interested in reading books because of heavy schedules, heavy workloads, and assessment assignments that they have to complete after going back home, after a long day and after finishing their assignments.
The phrase 'no children are not interested' is a double negative and incorrect; it should be 'children are not interested'. The phrase 'have they have to follow' is redundant and incorrect; it should be 'they have to complete'. 'Going back to home' should be 'going back home'. The sentence is also overly repetitive and needs restructuring for clarity.
