Part 1
Examiner
Do you often go to the library?
Candidate
No, I have never even been to a library. This is because there is no library nearby my house and also because of this generation. There is lots of ebooks online which you can look out for and it saves you a plenty of time just looking up on Google instead of actually visiting the library which consumes lots of time.
Examiner
What do you usually do in the library?
Candidate
I have never been to a Public Library, but I did once in a while visit my school's library since I was supposed to write a summary of a book as I was assigned by my teachers for a specific subject, and I would read that for an hour and then I would write down all the details on the notebook.
Examiner
Did you go to the library when you were a kid?
Candidate
No, I didn't go to the library when I was a kid, and I still don't visit one regularly now. However, I believe that going to a library can be a wonderful experience for children because it allows them to discover new books and develop their interests. For example, exploring different genres can help kids find hobbies or ideas to inspire them.

The legacy that I have no clue on this matter since I have never interacted with Chinese students or Chinese citizens. However, I believe that they might go to the library on a regular basis since it's a developing country and knowledge is a priority nowadays and everybody should grab a book and learn every single day.

Do Chinese kids often go to the library?
Score: 55.0Suggestion: Your answer is unclear and contains grammatical errors. Avoid phrases like 'The legacy that I have no clue.' Instead, directly state your lack of knowledge and then give a reasoned opinion. Also, be careful with facts; China is a developed country. Use linking words to improve flow.
Example: I am not sure about the habits of Chinese children since I haven't interacted with them much. However, I believe many Chinese kids visit libraries regularly because education is highly valued, and reading is encouraged to gain knowledge.
× There is no library nearby my house and also because of this generation.
✓ There is no library near my house and also because of this generation.
The preposition 'nearby' is an adverb and should not be used directly before a noun. The correct preposition to use before 'my house' is 'near'. So, 'near my house' is correct.
× There is lots of ebooks online which you can look out for and it saves you a plenty of time just looking up on Google instead of actually visiting the library which consumes lots of time.
✓ There are lots of ebooks online which you can look out for and it saves you plenty of time just looking up on Google instead of actually visiting the library which consumes lots of time.
The noun 'ebooks' is countable plural, so the quantifier should be 'lots of' with plural verb 'are'. Also, 'a plenty of time' is incorrect; 'plenty of time' is the correct phrase without 'a'.
× just looking up on Google instead of actually visiting the library which consumes lots of time.
✓ just looking up Google instead of actually visiting the library which consumes lots of time.
The verb 'look up' when referring to searching information online does not require the preposition 'on'. The correct phrase is 'looking up Google'.
× I did once in a while visit my school's library since I was supposed to write a summary of a book as I was assigned by my teachers for a specific subject, and I would read that for an hour and then I would write down all the details on the notebook.
✓ I did visit my school's library once in a while since I was supposed to write a summary of a book as I was assigned by my teachers for a specific subject, and I would read that for an hour and then I would write down all the details in the notebook.
The phrase 'did once in a while visit' is awkward; the correct order is 'did visit once in a while'. Also, the preposition with 'notebook' should be 'in' not 'on'.
× I would write down all the details on the notebook.
✓ I would write down all the details in the notebook.
The correct preposition to use with 'notebook' is 'in' because the details are written inside the notebook, not on its surface.
× The legacy that I have no clue on this matter since I have never interacted with Chinese students or Chinese citizens.
✓ The legacy is that I have no clue on this matter since I have never interacted with Chinese students or Chinese citizens.
The sentence is missing a verb after 'The legacy'. Adding 'is' clarifies the meaning and corrects the sentence structure.
× I have no clue on this matter since I have never interacted with Chinese students or Chinese citizens.
✓ I have no clue about this matter since I have never interacted with Chinese students or Chinese citizens.
The correct preposition to use with 'have no clue' is 'about', not 'on'.
