What do you usually do in the library?
Candidato
It's funny you ask that, Umm, we go there to study obviously, and sometimes, uh, for like when we are eating our lunch or we just want to take a break from studying, we go outside and read some books because it has an area just for like novel or comic books and stuff. But mainly we are studying there.

Did you go to the library when you were a kid?
Candidato
Yes, I used to love libraries, but the libraries I used to go when I was a child were quite different from the ones that I am going now because, you know, they were like more child friendly, but now they're like more professional and everybody there are studying or doing their job. But when I was a kid it was pretty different.

Do Chinese kids often go to the library?
Candidato
Yes, I believe they do actually. I have only three Chinese friends and one of them is studying in UK right now. But for the other two that are still in China, they go to the library pretty often because they also have to study for university entrance entrance exam and it's very competitive so they have to be in the library 24/7.
Do you often go to the library?
Puntuación: 68.0Sugerencia: Be more concise and correct basic grammar errors. Start with a clear topic sentence, avoid repetition (e.g., "actually" twice), and fix subject-verb agreement ("it has a slide"). Add one brief detail about when or how often you go. Keep to at most 3–4 sentences.
Ejemplo: Yes, I often go to the university library because I’m preparing for final exams. I usually study there in the evenings with my best friend, and we use a quiet study room that helps us concentrate.
What do you usually do in the library?
Puntuación: 72.0Sugerencia: Open with a direct topic sentence and reduce fillers ("um," "uh," "like"). Use linking words (e.g., "also," "however") for coherence and give one specific example of what you study or read. Limit to 3–4 sentences.
Ejemplo: I usually study in the library, focusing on my coursework and exam revision. Sometimes we take lunch breaks and go to the leisure section to read novels or comics, which helps us relax before returning to our studies.
Did you go to the library when you were a kid?
Puntuación: 66.0Sugerencia: Start with a clear statement and avoid vague filler phrases ("you know"). Correct grammar ("the libraries I went to when I was a child"; "everybody there is studying"). Give one specific difference (e.g., colorful décor, story time) and keep to 2–3 sentences.
Ejemplo: Yes, I loved going to the library as a child. The children’s library had bright decorations and story time sessions, whereas the university library I use now is quiet and more formal, focused on studying.
Do Chinese kids often go to the library?
Puntuación: 60.0Sugerencia: Avoid unsupported generalizations and repeating words ("entrance entrance"). Start with a clear opinion, then give a balanced reason and qualify absolute claims (avoid "24/7"). Correct small errors ("the university entrance exam"). Keep to 2–3 sentences.
Ejemplo: I think many Chinese students do use the library frequently, especially when preparing for the university entrance exam. It’s a competitive process, so students often spend long hours studying there, particularly during exam periods.
× Yes, I actually do because I'm a student right now and I have to study for the final exams starting from now to get high scores.
✓ Yes, I actually do because I'm a student right now and I have to study for the final exams starting now to get high scores.
The phrase 'starting from now' is wordy and less natural; 'starting now' is the correct concise present tense expression. Use 'starting now' for actions that begin at the present moment. Suggestion: Use concise time expressions with present tense actions (e.g., 'starting now').
× So yes, I I actually go to a very large library and it's actually has a slide in it and I I go there with my best friend to study.
✓ So yes, I actually go to a very large library and it actually has a slide in it, and I go there with my best friend to study.
The phrase 'it's actually has' mixes a contraction ('it is') with a present-tense verb 'has', causing subject-verb duplication. Remove the contraction or the auxiliary to form correct subject-verb agreement: 'it has' or 'it's actually great' etc. Also duplicated 'I I' is a repetition error. Suggestion: Use 'it has' for simple present description and avoid repeated words.
× It's funny you ask that, Umm, we go there to study obviously, and sometimes, uh, for like when we are eating our lunch or we just want to take a break from studying, we go outside and read some books because it has an area just for like novel or comic books and stuff.
✓ It's funny you ask that. Umm, we go there to study, obviously, and sometimes when we are eating our lunch or just want to take a break from studying, we go outside and read some books because it has an area just for novels or comic books.
Use plural 'novels' for general reference rather than singular 'novel'. Remove redundant filler 'for like' and 'and stuff' to make the sentence clearer. Maintain present simple for habitual actions ('we go', 'it has'). Suggestion: Use plurals for general categories and avoid filler phrases.
× Yes, I used to love libraries, but the libraries I used to go when I was a child were quite different from the ones that I am going now because, you know, they were like more child friendly, but now they're like more professional and everybody there are studying or doing their job.
✓ Yes, I used to love libraries, but the libraries I used to go to when I was a child were quite different from the ones I go to now because they were more child friendly; now they're more professional and everybody there is studying or doing their work.
Missing preposition: 'go' requires 'to' when indicating destination ('go to the libraries'). Also 'the ones that I am going now' incorrectly uses present continuous; use present simple 'I go to now'. Subject-verb agreement: 'everybody there are' should be 'everybody there is' because 'everybody' is singular. 'Doing their job' is acceptable but 'doing their work' is more natural here. Suggestion: Use 'go to' for places, 'I go to now' for habitual present, and match verb number with 'everybody'.
× But when I was a kid it was pretty different.
✓ But when I was a kid, it was pretty different.
This sentence is grammatically acceptable; only a missing comma after the introductory clause improves clarity. No tense or agreement error. Suggestion: Add a comma after introductory time phrase for readability.
× Yes, I believe they do actually.
✓ Yes, I believe they do, actually.
Sentence is correct; adding a comma before 'actually' improves flow. No verb form error. Suggestion: Use commas to separate parenthetical adverbs.
× I have only three Chinese friends and one of them is studying in UK right now.
✓ I have only three Chinese friends, and one of them is studying in the UK right now.
Missing article: 'in UK' should be 'in the UK'. Also add a comma before the coordinating conjunction joining two independent clauses. Suggestion: Use 'the UK' and include commas between independent clauses.
× But for the other two that are still in China, they go to the library pretty often because they also have to study for university entrance entrance exam and it's very competitive so they have to be in the library 24/7.
✓ But for the other two who are still in China, they go to the library pretty often because they also have to study for the university entrance exam and it's very competitive, so they have to be in the library almost all the time.
Use 'who' instead of 'that' when referring to people. 'University entrance entrance exam' repeats 'entrance' twice; correct phrase is 'the university entrance exam'. 'Be in the library 24/7' is informal; 'almost all the time' is more natural in formal speech. Add commas for clarity. Suggestion: Use 'who' for people, avoid repetition, and prefer natural expressions over literal '24/7' in formal contexts.
