× Library has always been one of my safe places.
✓ The library has always been one of my safe places.
In English, singular countable nouns like 'library' require a definite article 'the' when referring to a specific place. Omitting 'the' before 'library' is incorrect. Adding 'the' clarifies that the speaker means a particular library, not libraries in general.
× It always makes me feel calm and as well as motivated.
✓ It always makes me feel calm as well as motivated.
The phrase 'and as well as' is redundant because 'as well as' already functions as a conjunction meaning 'also'. Using both together is incorrect. The correct form is either 'and' or 'as well as', but not both combined.
× Seeing other students or people working hard on their job makes me also motivated and focus on my current goals as well as my needs.
✓ Seeing other students or people working hard on their jobs also motivates me and helps me focus on my current goals as well as my needs.
The original sentence misuses 'makes me also motivated and focus' which is grammatically incorrect. The verb 'makes' should be followed by an object and a base verb or adjective. Also, 'job' should be plural 'jobs' to agree with 'students or people'. The correction uses 'motivates me' and 'helps me focus' for clarity and grammatical correctness.
× I complete my uncompleted task as well as I read my novels.
✓ I complete my unfinished tasks as well as read my novels.
The word 'task' should be plural 'tasks' because it refers to multiple activities. Also, 'uncompleted' is less common than 'unfinished'. The sentence is also streamlined by removing the repeated subject 'I' before 'read'.
× I'm a huge fan of thriller as well as romance novel.
✓ I'm a huge fan of thriller as well as romance novels.
The noun 'novel' should be plural 'novels' because it refers to more than one genre. Also, 'thriller' should be parallel with 'romance novels', so 'thriller novels' is implied. The correction makes the sentence grammatically consistent.
× One of my favorite art uh author is Anna Huang.
✓ One of my favorite authors is Anna Huang.
The phrase 'art uh author' is incorrect and unclear. The correct phrase is 'authors'. Also, 'one of my favorite' requires a plural noun after it, so 'authors' is correct.
× I used to visit the library of my school.
✓ I used to visit my school library.
The phrase 'library of my school' is awkward. 'My school library' is the natural and correct expression. The past tense 'used to visit' is correct and kept.
× we had a lot of book choices for my age when I was younger.
✓ we had a lot of book choices for my age when I was younger.
Although 'book choices' is understandable, 'books' is more natural than 'book choices'. However, since 'book choices' is acceptable and not listed as a grammar problem type, no correction is necessary here.
× I really enjoyed Reading Journey most often as well as Thea Stolten when I was a kid.
✓ I really enjoyed Reading Journey most often as well as books by Thea Stolten when I was a kid.
The original sentence is unclear because 'Thea Stolten' is a person, so it should be 'books by Thea Stolten'. This clarifies the meaning and corrects the pronoun usage.
× Chinese kids often do go to library, but let's not, uh, keep them in the stigma.
✓ Chinese kids often do go to the library, but let's not, uh, keep them in the stigma.
The noun 'library' is singular and countable, so it requires the definite article 'the' when referring to a specific place. Omitting 'the' is incorrect.
× They also.
✓ They also do.
The sentence 'They also.' is incomplete and lacks a verb. Adding 'do' completes the sentence and makes it grammatically correct.
