I usually read novels and study in the library because it is such a quite peaceful place. Being there helps me concentrate so I can focus on my course materials and reviews for exams.

Do Chinese kids often go to the library?
Candidato
I think the number of Chinese children who go to the library has declined in recent years. Many kids prefer to spend their free time playing online games or using smartphone allow. Some still visit libraries to study or borrow books for school projects.

× For example, I usually visit on weekends to prepare for exam and to read novels.
✓ For example, I usually visit on weekends to prepare for exams and to read novels.
The noun 'exam' needs plural form 'exams' because 'prepare for' commonly takes a countable plural when speaking generally about multiple exams. This fits 'Verb + -ing form' category because the structure 'prepare for + noun' often pairs with plural when general. Suggestion: use 'exams' when referring to exam periods in general.
× I usually read novels and study in the library because it is such a quite peaceful place.
✓ I usually read novels and study in the library because it is such a quiet, peaceful place.
The original uses both 'quite' and 'peaceful' awkwardly and 'such a quite' is ungrammatical. 'Quite' is an adverb modifying an adjective; placing 'quiet' instead of 'quite' and adding a comma between coordinate adjectives 'quiet' and 'peaceful' is correct. Suggestion: use either 'quite peaceful' or 'quiet, peaceful' depending on emphasis.
× Being there helps me concentrate so I can focus on my course materials and reviews for exams.
✓ Being there helps me concentrate so I can focus on my course materials and review for exams.
The phrase 'reviews for exams' is awkward; 'review' as a verb or noun should match parallel structure. Here 'focus on my course materials and review for exams' makes 'review' an activity parallel to 'focus' or 'concentrate'. Alternatively, use 'reviewing for exams' if keeping gerund form. Suggestion: make verb forms parallel: 'focus on my course materials and review for exams' or 'focus on my course materials and reviewing for exams'.
× Many kids prefer to spend their free time playing online games or using smartphone allow.
✓ Many kids prefer to spend their free time playing online games or using smartphones.
'Smartphone allow' is ungrammatical; likely intended 'smartphones'. This is an incorrect use of pronoun/noun phrase. Replace with the plural noun 'smartphones' to match 'kids' and general usage. Suggestion: use 'using smartphones' or 'using their smartphones' for clarity.
