× Honestly, I do not uh visit library uh frequently uh, but sometimes to issue some book I have to go library.
✓ Honestly, I do not uh visit the library uh frequently uh, but sometimes to issue some book I have to go to the library.
In English, when referring to a specific place like 'library', the definite article 'the' is required. Also, the preposition 'to' is needed before 'the library' to indicate movement towards a place.
× but sometimes to issue some book I have to go library.
✓ but sometimes to issue some book I have to go to the library.
The verb 'go' requires the preposition 'to' before a place to indicate direction or destination.
× Otherwise, I like to uh read at my home because I concentrate more uh in UH when I'm in my comfortable zone.
✓ Otherwise, I like to uh read at my home because I concentrate more uh when I'm in my comfortable zone.
The phrase 'in UH' is unnecessary and incorrect here. Also, 'my home' is correct without an article, but 'comfortable zone' does not need 'my' or 'the' here.
× I usually visit library to borrow books and because I'm a teacher and I need to keep updated, uh, uh, so I, uh, go to, uh, get uh, new books or the magazines, uh, to enrich my subject knowledge and to enhance my professional skills.
✓ I usually visit the library to borrow books and because I'm a teacher and I need to keep updated, uh, uh, so I, uh, go to, uh, get uh, new books or magazines, uh, to enrich my subject knowledge and to enhance my professional skills.
The definite article 'the' is needed before 'library' to specify the place. 'Magazines' is plural and does not need 'the' unless referring to specific magazines.
× What's happened? Two or three weeks, uh, three times a week.
✓ What happened? Two or three times a week, uh, three times a week.
The correct past tense question form is 'What happened?'. Also, 'two or three weeks' is unclear; 'two or three times a week' fits the context better.
× During these sessions, we were encouraged to read story books or comics, whatever our interest in uh, is.
✓ During these sessions, we were encouraged to read story books or comics, whatever our interest was.
The verb tense should be past ('was') to match the past context. Also, 'interest in' is incorrect here; 'interest was' is appropriate.
× And I really like to enjoy reading comics books because.
✓ And I really like to enjoy reading comic books because.
The correct term is 'comic books' (plural adjective 'comic' modifying 'books'), not 'comics books'.
× Yes, I think Chinese kids also, uh, go to the library frequently.

This sentence is correct; no correction needed.

✓ They must be encouraged by the teachers and the parents, uh, to utilize the resources at the, uh, library, uh, because in the development of kids, uh, books play an important, uh, role.
The verb 'books' is plural and should be followed by 'play' not 'plays'. Also, the preposition 'in' is correct here.
