Do you often go to the library?
Candidato
To be very honest, I do not often go to the library. In fact, it's been a while I went to the library that should be like last year. I went to the library and it wasn't so much fun, but I enjoyed the book I read at the library. It was interesting, but staying in the library gets so quiet I don't.

What do you usually do in the library?
Candidato
Whenever I go to the library, I try to look for motivational books and that is the best place I get to read motivational books because it's a very intense place. It gets so quiet and that's the only place I can genuinely concentrate. It's far better than staying at home.

Did you go to the library when you were a kid?
Candidato
No, I didn't go to the library when I was a kid. I wasn't privileged enough to visit the library. Where I grew up, we didn't even have libraries. The only time I went to the library was in my secondary school, where I became the library prefect. That was when I started visiting the library.

Yes, I think Chinese kids often go to the library because their kids are so smart. From little age, they start to explore their abilities. However, Chinese kids tend to do more of crafting than going to the library.

× it's been a while I went to the library that should be like last year
✓ it's been a while since I went to the library, that should be like last year
The original sentence lacks the preposition 'since' which is necessary to indicate the time elapsed since the last visit. The phrase 'it's been a while since I went' correctly expresses this idea.
× It was interesting, but staying in the library gets so quiet I don't.
✓ It was interesting, but staying in the library is so quiet that I don't enjoy it.
The original sentence is incomplete and unclear. Adding 'that I don't enjoy it' clarifies the meaning and corrects the sentence structure.
× it's a very intense place
✓ it's a very quiet place
The word 'intense' is not appropriate to describe a library's atmosphere. 'Quiet' is the correct adjective to describe the peaceful environment suitable for reading.
× it's the best place I get to read motivational books
✓ it's the best place for me to read motivational books
The preposition 'for' is needed to indicate purpose or suitability. 'For me to read' correctly expresses the intended meaning.
× Yes, I think Chinese kids often go to the library because their kids are so smart.
✓ Yes, I think Chinese kids often go to the library because they are so smart.
The pronoun 'their kids' is incorrect here as it refers to someone else's children. 'They' correctly refers back to 'Chinese kids'.
× From little age, they start to explore their abilities.
✓ From a young age, they start to explore their abilities.
The phrase 'from little age' is incorrect. The correct expression is 'from a young age' to indicate starting early in life.
