Do Chinese kids often go to the library?

Yes, of course. I think Chinese kids often go to the library. In fact, I believe that Chinese parents really prioritize the importance of reading and they want a child to be an avid reader. That's why they try to promote going to the libraries among their children.

× my house is located in an outskirts of Bangkok
✓ my house is located in the outskirts of Bangkok
The word 'outskirts' is a plural noun that requires the definite article 'the' when referring to a specific area. Using 'an' is incorrect because 'outskirts' is not singular and countable in this context.
× the activities that I found most favorable is was to catch up on some trends in magazines
✓ the activities that I found most favorable were catching up on some trends in magazines
The subject 'activities' is plural, so the verb should be 'were' instead of 'is was'. Also, 'to catch up' should be changed to the gerund form 'catching up' to correctly function as the object of the verb 'were'.
× the activities that I found most favorable is was to catch up on some trends in magazines
✓ the activities that I found most favorable were catching up on some trends in magazines
The plural subject 'activities' requires the plural verb 'were' instead of 'is was' to maintain subject-verb agreement.
× libraries offer a wide ranges of novels and fictions that I like
✓ libraries offer a wide range of novels and fiction that I like
The phrase 'a wide ranges' is incorrect because 'range' should be singular when preceded by 'a wide'. Also, 'fictions' is uncountable and should be 'fiction'.
× they want a child to be an avid reader
✓ they want their child to be an avid reader
The phrase 'a child' is too general here; 'their child' correctly refers to the children of the parents mentioned, making the sentence more precise and grammatically correct.
× they try to promote going to the libraries among their children
✓ they try to promote going to the library among their children
When referring to the activity of going to libraries in general, 'library' should be singular without 'the' or plural with no article. Here, 'the library' is more natural to indicate the concept of library-going as an activity.
