Part 1
Examiner
Do you often go to the library?
Candidate
No not really because I prefer to read books online and there are only the paper books in library and also other reason is like the library is too silent for me. I prefer cafeteria to study because we I can hear the conversation of other people. It's more relaxing for me to study.
Examiner
What do you usually do in the library?
Candidate
In general, of course I read books, especially for my assignments in my university. But other than reading books, maybe I write thesis or just to take a break in a cool place. Because, you know, libraries are often cool because they have the air conditioner, so it's very good in summer.
Examiner
Did you go to the library when you were a kid?
Candidate
No, not at all. I didn't like reading when I was younger so I didn't often go to libraries, but if I had to go then maybe it's in a break time. In school I visited libraries to borrow some books, but I didn't enjoy it actually.
Examiner
Do Chinese kids often go to the library?
Candidate
I think so because I heard that Chinese people are very keen to study hard and even though I'm Japanese, I often see many students in library reading books or writing thesis. So I think Chinese people prefer going to libraries than other people in the.

× No not really because I prefer to read books online and there are only the paper books in library and also other reason is like the library is too silent for me.
✓ No, not really, because I prefer to read books online and there are only paper books in the library, and another reason is that the library is too silent for me.
The definite article 'the' is required before 'library' when referring to a specific place. Also, 'the paper books' should be 'paper books' without 'the' because it refers to books in general. Additionally, 'other reason is like' is incorrect; it should be 'another reason is that'.
× I prefer cafeteria to study because we I can hear the conversation of other people.
✓ I prefer the cafeteria to study because I can hear the conversation of other people.
The pronoun 'we' is incorrectly used here and should be removed. Also, 'cafeteria' needs the definite article 'the' because it refers to a specific place.
× In general, of course I read books, especially for my assignments in my university.
✓ In general, of course I read books, especially for my assignments at my university.
The preposition 'at' is more appropriate than 'in' when referring to attending a university. Also, 'my university' does not need 'the' before it.
× But other than reading books, maybe I write thesis or just to take a break in a cool place.
✓ But other than reading books, maybe I write a thesis or just take a break in a cool place.
The noun 'thesis' requires the article 'a' when singular. Also, 'just to take a break' should be 'just take a break' to maintain parallel structure.
× Because, you know, libraries are often cool because they have the air conditioner, so it's very good in summer.
✓ Because, you know, libraries are often cool because they have air conditioners, so it's very good in summer.
'Air conditioner' should be plural 'air conditioners' when referring to multiple libraries. Also, 'the air conditioner' is incorrect here because it is not a specific one.
× No, not at all. I didn't like reading when I was younger so I didn't often go to libraries, but if I had to go then maybe it's in a break time.
✓ No, not at all. I didn't like reading when I was younger, so I didn't often go to libraries, but if I had to go, then maybe it was during break time.
The phrase 'it's in a break time' is incorrect; it should be 'it was during break time' to match past tense and correct preposition usage.
× In school I visited libraries to borrow some books, but I didn't enjoy it actually.
✓ In school, I visited libraries to borrow some books, but I didn't actually enjoy it.
The adverb 'actually' is better placed before the verb 'enjoy' for natural English word order.
× I think so because I heard that Chinese people are very keen to study hard and even though I'm Japanese, I often see many students in library reading books or writing thesis.
✓ I think so because I heard that Chinese people are very keen to study hard, and even though I'm Japanese, I often see many students in the library reading books or writing theses.
The definite article 'the' is needed before 'library' when referring to a specific place. Also, 'thesis' should be plural 'theses' when referring to multiple students writing them.
× So I think Chinese people prefer going to libraries than other people in the.
✓ So I think Chinese people prefer going to libraries more than other people.
The sentence ends abruptly with 'in the.' It should be completed or removed. Also, 'prefer going to libraries than other people' is incorrect; it should be 'prefer going to libraries more than other people.'
