Do you often go to the library?
Candidato
I used to go quite often to the library when I was a kid. I found it, uh, very, very relaxing, uh, place to go. But, uh, nowadays I'm busy with my job so I find it more convenient to download e-books and read them for my tablets. Shifting from from physical books to digital books has made my life much more easier because I can adjust the font.

Do Chinese kids often go to the library?
Candidato
They go to the library, but not as much as they used to when I was a kid. I think this digital shift has affected the new generation very much and they don't like reading books anymore. They would rather prefer watching TV shows and movies instead.

× Shifting from from physical books to digital books has made my life much more easier because I can adjust the font.
✓ Shifting from physical books to digital books has made my life much easier because I can adjust the font.
The phrase 'much more easier' is incorrect because 'easier' is already a comparative adjective. Using 'more' with a comparative adjective is redundant. The correct form is 'much easier' to intensify the comparative adjective.
× When I go to the library, the 1st place I usually go is my favorite author's books.
✓ When I go to the library, the first place I usually go to is my favorite author's books.
The original sentence lacks the preposition 'to' after 'go' which is necessary when indicating a destination. Adding 'to' after 'go' clarifies the sentence structure and makes it grammatically correct.
× I see if they have released new books or a new edition have have come out.
✓ I check if they have released new books or if a new edition has come out.
The original sentence has repetition ('have have') and incorrect verb agreement. Also, 'I see if' is awkward; 'I check if' is more appropriate. The verb 'has' should be used with the singular noun 'edition'. Correcting these improves clarity and grammar.
× each time I go to a shopping center, the 1st place I visit in that center would be the library and I would spend hours looking at those cartoons.
✓ Each time I went to a shopping center, the first place I visited in that center was the library and I would spend hours looking at those cartoons.
Since the context is about past habits, the verbs should be in the past tense. 'Go' and 'visit' should be changed to 'went' and 'visited' respectively to maintain tense consistency.
× They would rather prefer watching TV shows and movies instead.
✓ They would rather watch TV shows and movies instead.
The phrase 'would rather prefer' is redundant because both 'would rather' and 'prefer' express preference. The correct form is 'would rather watch' followed by the base verb without 'prefer'.
