Score: 62.0Suggestion: Be clearer and more natural: start with a direct topic sentence, avoid repetition, correct grammar (e.g., tense and articles), and use specific details. Use linking words to connect ideas (e.g., “because,” “also,” “for example”). Replace unclear word “diaboli” with the correct word (perhaps “diary,” “a study desk,” or “study app”). Keep to 2–4 well-formed sentences.
Example: Yes, I often go to the library. I prefer a quiet, purpose-built library near my campus because it has comfortable seating and plenty of natural light. I usually study there for exams and use a study app on my phone to organize my revision, which I find very effective.

× I often go to the library, especially designed library, which is really relaxed place and exterior.
✓ I often go to the library, especially the designed library, which is a really relaxed place and has a pleasant exterior.
The sentence is missing the definite article before 'designed library' and the adjective 'relaxed' needs an article and linking verb to modify 'place'. Also 'exterior' should be described with a verb phrase 'has a pleasant exterior' to be grammatical. Add 'the' to specify and insert 'is a' and 'has' to form correct noun phrases.
× It was really beautiful.
✓ It is really beautiful.
Context indicates a habitual or general statement about the library; present tense 'is' fits better. Using past tense 'was' changes the meaning to a single past event. Use present tense for general descriptions.
× So I like to go there and also I used diaboli for studying for my examination which is really effective.
✓ So I like to go there, and I also used Diaboli for studying for my exams, which was really effective.
The sentence mixes tenses and has a misspelled or unclear noun 'diaboli' (treated here as a proper noun 'Diaboli'). 'Examination' should be pluralized to 'exams' when speaking generally; past tense 'used' should be matched by 'was' for the effectiveness. Clarify proper noun capitalization and ensure consistent tense.
× I usually do the starting for examination but I sometimes borrow my I borrow some books related related to my subject like architecture which is really useful for my study and also I read novels as well which is really relaxed for which is relaxed way.
✓ I usually start studying for exams there, but I sometimes borrow books related to my subject, like architecture, which are really useful for my studies. I also read novels there because they are relaxing.
Original has repeated words, misplaced phrases, and unclear structure. Replace 'do the starting for examination' with 'start studying for exams'. Remove duplicate 'I borrow' and 'related related'. Use plural 'books' and 'studies' for general statements. Use 'are' to agree with plural 'books' and restructure the clause about novels to 'they are relaxing'.
× When I were a kid, I didn't go to the library at all because I prefer to play outside such as mountains or rivers because it was quite an enjoyable for me and I I was like, I like hiking when I was a kid, so I often went to the mountains.
✓ When I was a kid, I didn't go to the library at all because I preferred to play outside, for example in the mountains or by rivers, because it was quite enjoyable for me. I liked hiking when I was a kid, so I often went to the mountains.
Use 'was' not 'were' with singular subject 'I'. Maintain past tense consistency: use 'preferred', 'was', 'liked'. Remove duplicate 'I' and awkward phrases like 'it was quite an enjoyable for me' -> 'it was quite enjoyable for me'. Clarify 'such as' to 'for example in' for natural phrasing.
× I think so because Chinese people like to study and she they go, they like to go to the library to read the books of Boulder books, which is really good thing for I think.
✓ I think so because Chinese people like to study and they often go to the library to read books, which I think is a really good thing.
The original mixes pronouns 'she' and 'they' incorrectly. Remove 'she' and use 'they'. 'The books of Boulder books' is unclear and redundant; simplify to 'books'. Fix word order: 'which I think is a really good thing' is the correct clause order. Ensure subject-verb agreement and natural pronoun usage.
