× Not really because I'm not a book person, but when I was in university for doing any assignment, I used to go to the library and finish my assignment.
✓ Not really, because I'm not a book person; but when I was at university and had assignments, I used to go to the library and finish them.
The original mixes unnatural phrases and tense/structure. 'when I was in university for doing any assignment' is awkward; use 'when I was at university and had assignments'. 'finish my assignment' repeats 'assignment' and should be plural or replaced with 'them' to match 'assignments'. This fixes present tense clarity and natural collocation.
× Usually I take notes in the library because there are a variety of books and I find there lots of information and the topic of the projects which I need.
✓ Usually I take notes in the library because there are a variety of books and I find lots of information and the topics of the projects I need.
Errors: 'there are a variety of books' should be 'there is a variety of books' or better 'there are a variety of books' is acceptable but 'find there lots of information' is awkward. Removed extra 'there' and changed 'the topic of the projects which I need' to 'the topics of the projects I need' for correctness and fluency. Also 'find lots of information' is more natural.
× Uh, not really, because when I was kid that time my mother was there to help me to prepare my assignments and my homework.
✓ Uh, not really, because when I was a kid, my mother was there to help me prepare my assignments and my homework.
Missing article 'a' before 'kid' is incorrect. 'that time' is unnecessary and awkward; remove it. Also 'help me to prepare' is acceptable but 'help me prepare' is more natural. These changes correct article usage and improve sentence flow.
× So when I was kid, I never went to a library.
✓ So when I was a kid, I never went to the library.
Missing article 'a' before 'kid' and choice of 'a library' vs 'the library': use 'the library' if referring generally to libraries as a concept or particular local library. Here 'the library' is more natural. This fixes singular/plural and article error.
× Chinese kid often don't go to the library because their education system is different.
✓ Chinese kids often don't go to the library because their education system is different.
Subject 'kid' should be plural 'kids' to agree with 'often don't'. This is a singular/plural agreement error.
× They are more focused on the practical and physical work more than the academic.
✓ They focus more on practical and physical work than on academic subjects.
Original has redundancy 'more' twice and incorrect structure 'the academic'. Rephrase to 'focus more on... than on...' and use 'academic subjects' to be clear. This fixes sentence structure and comparative phrasing.
× So for that reason they don't need to go to the library in childhood.
✓ For that reason, they don't need to go to the library during childhood.
'So for that reason' is redundant; begin with 'For that reason,' and use 'during childhood' instead of 'in childhood' for natural English. This corrects sentence structure and preposition use.
