× In recent years, I rarely go to the library because I have been very busy with my work.
✓ In recent years, I have rarely gone to the library because I have been very busy with my work.
The sentence refers to a period extending up to the present ('in recent years'), so the present perfect tense ('have rarely gone') is more appropriate than the simple present tense ('rarely go'). This tense better expresses an action that has occurred over a period of time leading up to now.
× However, when I was a student, I used to go there uh, every day because the quiet place is uh, helps.
✓ However, when I was a student, I used to go there every day because the quiet place helps.
The phrase 'the quiet place is helps' is incorrect because 'helps' is a verb and cannot be used directly after 'is'. The correct structure is 'the quiet place helps'. Also, filler words like 'uh' should be omitted for clarity.
× I usually go to the library for a purpose when I need a quiet place to do my assignments or I need to research for some advanced resources.
✓ I usually go to the library with a purpose when I need a quiet place to do my assignments or to research some advanced resources.
The phrase 'go to the library for a purpose' is unnatural; 'with a purpose' is the correct prepositional phrase. Also, 'research for some advanced resources' should be 'research some advanced resources' because 'research' as a verb does not require 'for' in this context.
× Uh, for my assignment, I will visit there and.
✓ For my assignment, I will visit there.
The sentence is incomplete and ends abruptly with 'and'. Removing 'and' completes the sentence properly. Also, filler words like 'Uh' should be omitted for clarity.
× When I was a kid, I loved to stick with the light stick in the library because I can access to a wide range of resources.
✓ When I was a kid, I loved to stick with the light stick in the library because I could access a wide range of resources.
The phrase 'access to' is incorrect here; 'access' as a verb does not require 'to'. Also, since the action refers to the past, 'can' should be changed to 'could' to maintain tense consistency.
× For example, I can borrow some different kinds of books and also some video tapes there.
✓ For example, I could borrow different kinds of books and also some videotapes there.
The plural 'kinds of books' is correct, but 'video tapes' is better written as one word 'videotapes'. Also, 'can' should be 'could' to maintain past tense consistency.
× For example, the Cartoon 1 is my.
✓ For example, Cartoon 1 is my favourite.
The sentence is incomplete and lacks a predicate. Adding 'favourite' completes the sentence meaningfully.
× Maybe. In the past I would say yes because children have little money to spend on entertainment so they would go there for leisure.
✓ Maybe. In the past, I would say yes because children had little money to spend on entertainment, so they would go there for leisure.
The phrase 'have little money' should be in past tense 'had little money' to match 'in the past'. Also, a comma is needed after 'In the past' and before 'so' to separate clauses properly.
× However, in recent years I would say no because children would like to spend time on with the Internet.
✓ However, in recent years, I would say no because children would like to spend time on the Internet.
The phrase 'spend time on with the Internet' is incorrect. The correct preposition is 'on' without 'with'. Also, a comma is needed after 'in recent years'.
