× I don't go often to the library.
✓ I don't often go to the library.
The adverb 'often' should be placed before the main verb 'go' in this sentence to follow standard English word order rules for adverbs of frequency.
× I prefer buying books and just reading them at home or even go somewhere to just for example, to the park and just sit on the grass and just read my book.
✓ I prefer buying books and just reading them at home or even going somewhere, for example, to the park, and just sitting on the grass and reading my book.
After 'or even', the verb should be in the gerund form 'going' to maintain parallel structure with 'buying' and 'reading'. Also, 'just for example' is incorrect; 'for example' should be used alone. The sentence also benefits from commas for clarity.
× It's more.
✓ It's more relaxing.
The sentence 'It's more.' is incomplete and unclear. Adding an adjective like 'relaxing' completes the thought and clarifies what 'more' refers to.
× In the library I usually just look around to maybe find some new books that I could buy or rent to read or I can also study because I found peace in the library so that I can study.
✓ In the library, I usually just look around to maybe find some new books that I could buy or rent to read, or I can also study because I find peace in the library so that I can study.
The sentence is long and needs commas to separate ideas for clarity. Also, 'found' should be 'find' to maintain present tense consistency.
× I don't remember going to the library when I was a child.
✓ I don't remember going to the library when I was a child.
This sentence is grammatically correct; no correction needed.
× Probably one or two times I was with my parents, but I was too young to go there by myself, so I don't remember that much of spending time in the library.
✓ Probably one or two times I was with my parents, but I was too young to go there by myself, so I don't remember spending much time in the library.
The phrase 'that much of spending time' is awkward. 'Spending much time' is the correct form here.
× I don't know if Chinese kids often go to the library, but I can just imagine because of the high education in China, they might go to the library often to study and just to read.
✓ I don't know if Chinese kids often go to the library, but I can imagine that because of the high level of education in China, they might go to the library often to study and read.
'I can just imagine' is better as 'I can imagine'. 'High education' should be 'high level of education'. Also, 'just to read' is better as 'read' for parallelism.
