Part 1

Do you often go to the library?

Score: 68.0

Suggestion: Be more concise and fluent: avoid fillers (umm, uh) and repetition, use correct grammar (e.g. "digital libraries are" or "the digital library is") and correct comparative forms ("much easier"). Begin with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific reasons using linking words (because, so, therefore). Limit to 3-4 sentences.

Example: No, I rarely go to the physical library now. I used to visit it every day as a student, but I prefer digital libraries because they let me download PDFs and search texts quickly. Therefore, I find studying online more convenient and time-efficient.

What do you usually do in the library?

Score: 60.0

Suggestion: Answer directly with a clear subject and avoid using generic 'you'; describe your own usual activities and give one specific detail. Use linking words to organize the sentence (for example, "usually", "because", "so"). Keep it to 2–3 sentences and correct grammar (e.g. "there are always people" not "there is always people").

Example: Usually I read books or study quietly in the library because the atmosphere helps me concentrate. For example, seeing others focused motivates me to keep working, so I tend to stay longer and finish more tasks.

Did you go to the library when you were a kid?

Score: 72.0

Suggestion: Be concise and correct grammar: use "I used to go" (not "use used to"). Give one or two specific details about frequency or an example of a book. Use linking words like "for example" or "sometimes" to structure the answer and avoid trailing off.

Example: Yes, I used to go to the library quite often as a child. I often borrowed fiction books and read them at home for about ten days before returning them, which helped me develop a reading habit early on.

Do Chinese kids often go to the library?

Score: 55.0

Suggestion: Avoid irrelevant personal details and hesitations. Start by stating you are not sure, then offer a brief, reasonable guess with support (reason or example). Use correct grammar and vocabulary ("I prefer reading books online", "younger generations"). Keep it to 2–3 sentences.

Example: I'm not sure because I live in Georgia and don't know much about China. However, I guess many younger people prefer reading online because digital formats are more convenient and easier to access on phones and tablets.

Grammar

Verb + -ing form

× But, umm, now I prefer digital library 'cause it's much more easier to have a PDF, make a notes, uh, make summary, uh, So I prefer, uh, digital library.

But now I prefer the digital library because it's much easier to get a PDF, take notes, and make summaries, so I prefer the digital library.

The original contains incorrect comparative phrasing 'much more easier' (redundant; use 'much easier' or 'more easy' is nonstandard) and incorrect noun forms 'a PDF, make a notes, make summary'. Also missing article before 'digital library'. Use gerunds/nouns correctly: 'get a PDF', 'take notes', 'make summaries'. This fits 'Verb + -ing form' because 'make a notes' mixes count noun and verb+ing expectations; using 'take notes' or 'making summaries' is appropriate. Suggestion: use correct comparative 'much easier' and correct verbs and plural nouns for general activities.

There be issue

× So usually you go to the library to read books and most of the time there is always people who are concentrating on reading and the situation is contagious and even if you don't feel like you want to read something.

Usually you go to the library to read books, and most of the time there are always people who are concentrating on reading; the atmosphere is contagious even if you don't feel like reading.

Incorrect use of 'there is' with plural 'people' should be 'there are'. 'Situation is contagious' is acceptable but 'atmosphere' fits better. Also 'even if you don't feel like you want to read something' is wordy; use 'even if you don't feel like reading'. This matches 'There be issue' because the verb 'there is' must agree with the plural noun.

Incorrect use of verb tense / Past tense issue

× Yes, as I mentioned, I use used to go to the library when I was a kid.

Yes, as I mentioned, I used to go to the library when I was a kid.

The phrase 'I use used to go' incorrectly mixes present 'use' with the past habitual 'used to'. The correct past habitual form is 'used to'. This is a past tense/form issue. Suggestion: remove the extra 'use' and say 'I used to go'.

Past tense issue

× Sometimes I borrowed the books from the library and read at home and then return when I was done.

Sometimes I borrowed books from the library and read them at home, then returned them when I was done.

Tense inconsistency: 'borrowed' and 'read' are past, but 'return' is present; change to past 'returned'. Also 'the books' is better as 'books' or use pronoun 'them' after 'read'. Ensure all verbs in the sequence are consistently past.

Incorrect use of prepositions

× There was some limitation time, sometimes 10 days, sometimes two weeks depending on.

There was a time limit: sometimes 10 days, sometimes two weeks, depending on the book.

'Limitation time' is incorrect collocation; use 'time limit'. Also missing article 'a'. The phrase 'depending on' needs an object (e.g., 'the book'). This matches 'Incorrect use of prepositions' because 'depending on' must be followed by what it depends on; also article error present.

Incorrect use of pronouns

× Honestly, I live in Georgia, I'm, I'm, I'm Georgia and I have no idea if Chinese kids, umm, often go to the library but, uh, I'm just guessing a new generation.

Honestly, I live in Georgia; I'm Georgian and I have no idea whether Chinese kids often go to the library, but I'm just guessing that the new generation

'I'm Georgia' is incorrect; use 'I'm Georgian' to indicate nationality. 'Whether' is better than 'if' in this context. The phrase 'I'm just guessing a new generation' is ungrammatical; add 'that' and complete the clause (see next sentence). This matches 'Incorrect use of pronouns' because the pronoun/word choice for nationality is wrong and sentence structure needs correction.

Subject-verb agreement errors

× I prefers to read book books online 'cause it's, umm, comfortable and umm, uh, convenient.

I prefer to read books online because it's comfortable and convenient.

Subject-verb agreement: 'I prefers' is incorrect; the correct form is 'I prefer'. Also 'book books' is a duplication and should be 'books'. 'Cause' is informal; use 'because'. Remove filler 'umm'. Ensure plural 'books' when speaking generally.
