× Especially during reading weeks or exam weeks.
✓ I especially spend more time there during reading weeks or exam weeks.
The original sentence is a sentence fragment lacking a main verb and subject, which makes it incomplete. To correct this, the sentence should be combined with the previous sentence or rephrased to include a subject and verb, ensuring it forms a complete sentence.
× I tend to spend more time there revising for my test and preparing thoroughly the comics period.
✓ I tended to spend more time there revising for my tests and preparing thoroughly during the exam period.
The original sentence mixes present tense 'tend' with past context and has awkward phrasing 'preparing thoroughly the comics period'. The verb tense should be past to match the context, and 'comics period' seems to be a mishearing or typo for 'exam period'. Also, 'test' should be plural if referring generally. The correction aligns tense and clarifies meaning.
× As a result, I really went to the library during my childhood.
✓ As a result, I rarely went to the library during my childhood.
The original sentence uses 'really' which is likely a misuse for 'rarely' in this context. The intended meaning is that the student did not often go to the library as a child. Correcting to 'rarely' conveys the intended meaning and fits the past tense context.
× For example, they usually go there for revising for exams or complete assignments, which shows their strong commitment to their studies.
✓ For example, they usually go there to revise for exams or complete assignments, which shows their strong commitment to their studies.
The phrase 'go there for revising' is incorrect because 'for' should be followed by a noun or gerund, but 'revising' here is better replaced by the infinitive 'to revise' to express purpose. Using 'to revise' and 'complete' in parallel structure is grammatically correct.
