× I I can concentrate concentrate on reading at library rather than at at home.
✓ I can concentrate on reading at the library rather than at home.
The definite article 'the' is required before 'library' because it refers to a specific place known to both speaker and listener. Also, repeated words 'I' and 'concentrate' are errors but not related to the grammar problem types listed.
× So I try to use more library.
✓ So I try to use the library more.
The phrase 'use more library' is incorrect because 'library' is a countable noun and needs an article. The correct phrase is 'use the library more' to indicate increased frequency.
× I usually search for the books what I want to read.
✓ I usually search for the books that I want to read.
The relative pronoun 'what' is incorrect here; 'that' or 'which' should be used to refer to 'books'. 'What' is used differently in English.
× I don't decide prior coming to the library or sometimes I am a chef so I.
✓ I don't decide before coming to the library, or sometimes I am a chef, so I...
The preposition 'prior' is incorrect in this context; 'before' is the correct preposition to use before a gerund. Also, the sentence is incomplete but correction focuses on the preposition issue.
× To be honest I didn't because when I was a kid I used, I didn't like to read books even like studying as well.
✓ To be honest, I didn't because when I was a kid, I didn't like to read books or even study as well.
The phrase 'used, I didn't like' is incorrect and confusing. The correct form is 'I didn't like' to express past negative preference. Also, 'like studying' should be 'like to study' or 'like studying'; here 'or even study' fits better.
× I'm not sure about that because I'm not the Chinese and I don't have much Chinese friend to ask about the situation of how often do they use library, but I am also curious about that.
✓ I'm not sure about that because I'm not Chinese and I don't have many Chinese friends to ask about how often they use the library, but I am also curious about that.
'The Chinese' is incorrect when referring to nationality; 'Chinese' without 'the' is correct. 'Much' is used with uncountable nouns; 'many' is correct for countable 'friends'. Also, 'how often do they use library' should be 'how often they use the library' (indirect question). The definite article 'the' is needed before 'library'.
