× Yes, I often go to library on weekends because I love to read books and collect the data about various other things.
✓ Yes, I often go to the library on weekends because I love to read books and collect data about various other things.
The definite article 'the' is required before 'library' because it refers to a specific place known to both the speaker and listener. Also, 'the' is not needed before 'data' as it is an uncountable noun used in a general sense.
× I usually read books in the library and also sometimes see the Internet to explore the various other news and data that comes up on regular basis.
✓ I usually read books in the library and also sometimes use the Internet to explore various news and data that come up on a regular basis.
The verb 'see' is incorrect when referring to using the Internet; 'use' is appropriate. 'The Internet' requires the definite article 'the'. 'Various other news and data' is better as 'various news and data' because 'news' is uncountable and 'other' is unnecessary here. Also, 'on regular basis' needs the article 'a' to become 'on a regular basis'. 'Data' is plural, so the verb should be 'come' instead of 'comes'.
× Yes, I often go to the library when I was a kid, but sometimes I miss it because I have other curriculum activities going around during that time.
✓ Yes, I often went to the library when I was a kid, but sometimes I missed it because I had other curriculum activities going on during that time.
The past tense 'went' should be used instead of 'go' to match the past time frame 'when I was a kid'. Similarly, 'missed' and 'had' are needed to maintain past tense consistency. 'Going around' is incorrect; 'going on' is the correct phrase to describe ongoing activities.
× According to my information, I feel like Chinese kid often go to library because in movies and dramas I see like Chinese kids love to go to library to read more books about the comics and also the play drama books.
✓ According to my information, I feel like Chinese kids often go to the library because in movies and dramas I see that Chinese kids love to go to the library to read more books about comics and also play drama books.
'Chinese kid' should be plural 'Chinese kids' to agree with the plural verb 'go'. 'Go to library' requires the definite article 'the library'. 'Like' is unnecessary and should be removed for clarity. 'The comics' should be 'comics' without 'the' as it refers to comics in general. 'The play drama books' is better as 'play drama books' without 'the'. Also, 'I see like' is incorrect; 'I see that' is the correct phrase.
