Grammar

Incorrect use of prepositions

× Maybe I just go to the library when I want to borrow some Japanese book, as I'm also studying Japanese now.

Maybe I just go to the library when I want to borrow some Japanese books, as I'm also studying Japanese now.

The word 'book' should be plural 'books' because 'some' is used to indicate more than one item. In English, 'some' is followed by plural countable nouns or uncountable nouns. Here, 'books' is countable and plural, so it should be pluralized.

Subject-verb agreement errors

× I usually read books in the library and especially those Japanese books as I don't know which book are suitable to me, so that I need some time to read them so that I can decide which book I should follow.

I usually read books in the library, especially those Japanese books, as I don't know which book is suitable for me, so I need some time to read them to decide which book I should follow.

The verb 'are' does not agree with the singular subject 'book'. It should be 'is' to match the singular noun. Also, the preposition 'to' after 'suitable' is incorrect; the correct preposition is 'for'. Additionally, the sentence is long and can be improved by adding commas and simplifying phrases for clarity.

Incorrect use of pronouns

× Additionally, many libraries have famous Chinese literature such as Journey to the West and Dream of the Red Mansion, which encourages child to read more this combination of resources and atmosphere.

Additionally, many libraries have famous Chinese literature such as Journey to the West and Dream of the Red Mansion, which encourages children to read more because of this combination of resources and atmosphere.

The word 'child' should be plural 'children' to agree with the plural subject 'libraries' and the context of 'kids'. Also, the sentence is missing a conjunction or preposition to connect the ideas properly; adding 'because of' clarifies the reason. This improves sentence structure and meaning.
