× No, I'm not often go library.
✓ No, I don't often go to the library.
The original mixes present continuous 'I'm not' with simple present 'go' and omits prepositions and articles. Use simple present for habitual actions: 'do not often go'. Add definite article 'the' and preposition 'to'. Suggestion: use 'I don't often go to the library.'
× I go library once in a blue moon because I don't get enough time to read and practice something.
✓ I go to the library once in a blue moon because I don't have enough time to read and practice.
Missing preposition 'to' and article 'the'. 'I don't get enough time' is understandable but 'have enough time' is more natural. Remove 'something'. Use 'to read and practice' or specify what to practice.
× But there is a library nearest my hometown when I go to time.
✓ But there is a library near my hometown when I go there.
'Nearest' is comparative and misused; use 'near' or 'nearby'. 'When I go to time' is ungrammatical — use 'when I go there' or 'when I visit'. Also remove 'there is' misuse timing; keep 'there is a library near my hometown.'
× Just maybe I visit there and borrow books after.
✓ Maybe I just visit it and borrow books afterwards.
Word order and pronoun use are incorrect. 'Visit there' should be 'visit it' or 'visit there' is okay but 'visit it' is more natural; place adverb 'just' before verb. Use 'afterwards' for sequence.
× As usual I read and borrow books in the library, especially the books which has more stories and less pages, because if it's the book hard lot of pages, I can't complete the book because I don't enough time to read, so I choose.
✓ I usually read and borrow books in the library, especially books that have more story content and fewer pages, because if a book has many hard pages I can't finish it since I don't have enough time to read, so I choose shorter ones.
Multiple issues: tense and word choice. Use 'I usually' for habits. 'Which has' should be 'that have' to match plural 'books' (subject-verb agreement). Use 'fewer pages' for countable pages. 'I don't enough time' missing 'have'. Simplify and reorder for clarity.
× During my school days, I often visit library because there is also a has a library in my school.
✓ During my school days, I often visited the library because my school also had a library.
Past habit requires past tense 'visited' and 'had'. Remove duplicated 'is also a has a'. Add definite article 'the' before 'library' because a specific library is meant.
× Especially I choose comics, books and short novels.
✓ I especially chose comics, picture books and short novels.
In past context use past tense 'chose'. 'Books' is vague; 'picture books' or leave as 'books' is okay. Reorder 'especially' for natural flow.
× Sometimes I choose the horror stories too.
✓ Sometimes I chose horror stories too.
Maintain past tense 'chose' to match context. 'The horror stories' is unnecessary; use plural 'horror stories' without article.
× So I like it. In my childhood. I like to reading and it's also help to improve in.
✓ So I liked them in my childhood. I liked reading, and it also helped me improve.
Fragments and tense inconsistency: change to past 'liked'. 'I like to reading' is incorrect—use 'liked reading' or 'liked to read'. 'It's also help to improve in' is incomplete; specify 'it also helped me improve'.
× I don't know more about Chinese students because I'm an 18 student.
✓ I don't know much about Chinese students because I'm an 18-year-old student.
Use 'much' not 'more'. '18 student' needs hyphenated '18-year-old' and 'student' after it. This corrects pronoun/quantifier and noun phrase formation.
× Uh, I knew that science student has more skill in technical said and artificial intelligence say, but I don't know more about, uh, if they go to the library and they're reading habit, uh, that because I'm not a.
✓ I know that science students have more technical skills and knowledge of artificial intelligence, but I don't know whether they go to the library or what their reading habits are, because I'm not one of them.
Tense and agreement: use present 'know' for a general statement. 'Science student' should be plural 'science students' with 'have'. 'Skill in technical said' is ungrammatical—use 'technical skills'. 'Artificial intelligence say' becomes 'knowledge of artificial intelligence'. 'Reading habit' pluralize to 'reading habits'. Finish clause with 'I'm not one of them.'
