× I don't go to the library every very often because I usually prefer studying at home.
✓ I don't go to the library very often because I usually prefer studying at home.
The adverb 'very' is incorrectly placed before 'often' with an extra 'every'. The correct phrase is 'very often' without 'every'. Using 'every very often' is redundant and ungrammatical.
× especially when I need to focus without destruction.
✓ especially when I need to focus without distraction.
The word 'destruction' is incorrect here; the correct noun is 'distraction' which means something that prevents concentration. 'Destruction' means damage or ruin, which does not fit the context.
× In the library, I usually read books and concentrated on studying important topics that I need to understand better.
✓ In the library, I usually read books and concentrate on studying important topics that I need to understand better.
The sentence describes habitual actions, so the verbs should be in the present tense. 'Concentrated' is past tense and inconsistent with 'usually read'. It should be 'concentrate' to match the habitual present.
× Sometimes I also review my notes and.
✓ Sometimes I also review my notes.
The sentence ends abruptly with 'and' without completing the thought, which is a sentence structure error. Removing 'and' completes the sentence properly.
× When I was a kid sometime I sometimes went to the library with my father.
✓ When I was a kid, I sometimes went to the library with my father.
The word 'sometime' is incorrectly used here; 'sometimes' is the correct adverb meaning 'occasionally'. Also, a comma after 'kid' improves clarity.
× He usually take took me there on weekends because he wanted me to develop a habit for reading.
✓ He usually took me there on weekends because he wanted me to develop a habit of reading.
The verb should be in past tense 'took' to match 'wanted'. Also, the phrase 'habit for reading' is incorrect; the correct preposition is 'habit of reading'.
× Actually I'm not completely sure, but from what I know many Chinese kids do do go to the library, especially those who enjoy reading or need quiet place to study.
✓ Actually, I'm not completely sure, but from what I know many Chinese kids do go to the library, especially those who enjoy reading or need a quiet place to study.
The phrase 'do do go' has a repeated auxiliary 'do' which is incorrect. Also, 'quiet place' needs the article 'a' before it. Adding a comma after 'Actually' improves readability.
