× No, I rarely visit library because I prefer reading ebooks and buying book for myself more convenient so I prefer reading articles online and I would love to have a connection of books by my aunt so I have.
✓ No, I rarely visit the library because I prefer reading ebooks and buying books for myself is more convenient, so I prefer reading articles online and I would love to have a connection to books from my aunt, so I have.
The noun 'library' is a singular countable noun and requires the definite article 'the' when referring to a specific place. Similarly, 'book' should be plural 'books' when talking about buying multiple books. Also, 'connection of books' is incorrect; it should be 'connection to books' or 'access to books'. The sentence also needs slight restructuring for clarity.
× No, I rarely visit library because I prefer reading ebooks and buying book for myself more convenient so I prefer reading articles online and I would love to have a connection of books by my aunt so I have.
✓ No, I rarely visit the library because I prefer reading ebooks and buying books for myself is more convenient, so I prefer reading articles online and I would love to have a connection to books from my aunt, so I have.
The phrase 'connection of books by my aunt' is incorrect. The correct preposition is 'to' as in 'connection to books'. Also, 'by my aunt' should be 'from my aunt' to indicate possession or source.
× After completing my studies, I haven't been to a library.
✓ After completing my studies, I haven't been to the library.
The phrase 'haven't been to a library' is grammatically correct but in context, 'the library' is more appropriate as it refers to a specific place previously mentioned or known. Also, the tense 'haven't been' is present perfect, which is correct here to indicate experience up to now.
× when I used to study, I used to refer a lot of books from there
✓ when I used to study, I used to refer to a lot of books from there
The verb 'refer' requires the preposition 'to' when indicating the object being referred to. So, 'refer a lot of books' should be 'refer to a lot of books'.
× I used to refer a lot of books from there, uh, search articles online, a lot of research papers I used to read and I used to, umm, collect dissertations from my.
✓ I used to refer to a lot of books from there, search articles online, read a lot of research papers, and collect dissertations from there.
The original sentence is fragmented and incomplete ('collect dissertations from my' is incomplete). The sentence needs to be restructured for clarity and completeness. Also, parallel structure is improved by using consistent verb forms.
× Yes I have been to library when I was a kid.
✓ Yes, I have been to the library when I was a kid.
'Library' is a singular countable noun and requires the definite article 'the' when referring to a specific place.
× I used to read cartoons and all from my uh school library and chil children books.
✓ I used to read cartoons and all from my school library and children's books.
The word 'chil children books' is incorrect. It should be 'children's books' to indicate books for children. Also, 'children's' is possessive and requires an apostrophe.
× Like a famous children book in Kerala is uh Balarama.
✓ A famous children's book in Kerala is Balarama.
'Children book' should be 'children's book' to show possession. Also, 'a famous' is correct, but 'like' at the beginning is unnecessary and can be omitted for clarity.
× I used to read that from library in my school.
✓ I used to read that from the library in my school.
'Library' is a singular countable noun and requires the definite article 'the' when referring to a specific place.
× I'm not pretty sure about Chinese kids, but being a Indian citizen, I know that Indian schools have libraries which allow Indian kids to get exposed to, have or have proper exposure to books from their small classes.
✓ I'm not pretty sure about Chinese kids, but being an Indian citizen, I know that Indian schools have libraries which allow Indian kids to get exposed to or have proper exposure to books from their early classes.
The phrase 'get exposed to, have or have proper exposure to' is awkward and redundant; it should be simplified to 'get exposed to or have proper exposure to'. Also, 'small classes' is unclear; 'early classes' or 'lower classes' is more appropriate. Additionally, 'a Indian' should be 'an Indian' because 'Indian' starts with a vowel sound.
× Even animal books or cartoons are available for.
✓ Even animal books or cartoons are available for them.
The sentence ends abruptly without an object for the preposition 'for'. Adding 'them' clarifies that these books or cartoons are available for the children.
