× Primarily to read books, but I also like the tranquil atmosphere it provides, so I would also go there when I need some me time.
✓ I primarily go to read books, but I also like the tranquil atmosphere it provides, so I also go there when I need some me time.
The original sentence lacks a main verb in the first clause, making it incomplete. Adding 'I primarily go to read books' corrects the sentence structure and maintains present tense consistency.
× Unfortunately, I didn't really have the right opportunity to go to a library when I was young because I was born and raised in made in China and back in the 1990s I believe the libraries available in my city was poorly equipped and only a certain group of.
✓ Unfortunately, I didn't really have the right opportunity to go to a library when I was young because I was born and raised in China, and back in the 1990s, I believe the libraries available in my city were poorly equipped and only accessible to a certain group of people.
The original sentence contains awkward phrasing ('made in China'), missing words, and incomplete thoughts. Correcting 'made in China' to 'China', adding missing words, and completing the sentence improves clarity and grammatical correctness.
× I believe the libraries available in my city was poorly equipped and only a certain group of.
✓ I believe the libraries available in my city were poorly equipped and only accessible to a certain group of people.
The subject 'libraries' is plural, so the verb should be 'were' instead of 'was'. Also, the sentence was incomplete; adding 'accessible to a certain group of people' completes the thought.
× They just love studying. You know, if you go to any random library saying you know, their summer holidays, you would find that is always packed with Chinese students.
✓ They just love studying. You know, if you go to any random library during their summer holidays, you would find that it is always packed with Chinese students.
The phrase 'saying you know, their summer holidays' is incorrect and unclear. Replacing it with 'during their summer holidays' clarifies the meaning. Also, 'that is always packed' should be 'it is always packed' to refer correctly to 'library'.
