× Yes, I prefer to go to the library in my spare time.
✓ Yes, I prefer going to the library in my spare time.
Use of 'prefer' is commonly followed by a gerund (prefer doing) when speaking about general habits. 'Prefer to go' is not strictly wrong but 'prefer going' fits natural usage here.
× I mostly read self help and fiction books.
✓ I mostly read self-help and fiction books.
Compound noun 'self-help' requires a hyphen; also plural 'books' is fine. Use hyphen to form correct adjective-noun compound.
× It improves my vocabulary and imagination.
✓ They improve my vocabulary and imagination.
The pronoun 'it' does not agree with the plural subjects 'vocabulary and imagination'. Use 'they' or restructure as 'They improve my vocabulary and imagination.'
× Moreover, I usually read before going to school and I think it's a great habit to develop in my daily routine.
✓ Moreover, I usually read before going to school, and I think it's a great habit to develop in my daily routine.
Add a comma before the coordinating conjunction 'and' joining two independent clauses. Tense and wording are otherwise appropriate.
× To be brutally honest, I go for library to learn something more about the world and related to my studies.
✓ To be honest, I go to the library to learn more about the world and about topics related to my studies.
Multiple issues: 'go for library' is incorrect preposition use ('go to the library'); 'learn something more' is awkward — use 'learn more'; 'and related to my studies' is a fragment; add 'about topics' or 'about' to connect properly.
× Apart from that I sit on the bench and read books like economic, fundamental and political science based books which increases my knowledge and provide.
✓ Apart from that, I sit on a bench and read books such as economics, fundamentals, and political science books, which increase my knowledge and provide insights.
Several errors: need comma after introductory phrase; use 'a bench' not 'the bench' unless specific; 'books like economic, fundamental and political science based books' is redundant—use 'books such as economics, fundamentals, and political science books'; subject-verb agreement 'which increase' matches plural 'books'; 'provide' needs an object—add 'insights'.
× As far as I'm concerned, when I was a kid, I usually go library when my teacher.
✓ As far as I'm concerned, when I was a kid, I usually went to the library when my teacher gave us work.
Tense consistency requires past tense 'went' not 'go'; 'go library' needs preposition 'to the library'; sentence was incomplete — add the verb 'gave' and object to finish the idea.
× Gave us some work, so then I prefer to went in library to completed my work and assignments.
✓ When she gave us some work, I preferred to go to the library to complete my work and assignments.
Fragment 'Gave us some work' must be attached to a subject; 'prefer' should be past 'preferred' for past events; 'to went' is incorrect — use 'to go'; 'in library' should be 'to the library'; 'to completed' should be 'to complete'.
× Yes, it is quite famous scenario in China to go library.
✓ Yes, it is quite a common scenario in China for children to go to the library.
Missing article 'a' before 'famous/common scenario'; 'go library' needs 'go to the library'; 'famous' is odd—'common' fits better with 'scenario'; clarify subject 'children'.
× Especially children go to the library and used different sections which enhances their ability to learn more about the world and offers to broaden their horizons of knowledge.
✓ Especially, children go to the library and use different sections, which enhances their ability to learn more about the world and broadens their horizons.
Tense inconsistency: 'used' should be present 'use' to match general statement; 'which enhances' should agree with singular concept or be consistent—keeping 'enhances' is fine because it refers to the activity as a whole; 'offers to broaden their horizons of knowledge' is awkward—use 'broadens their horizons.'
