× Actually I don't often go to the library because I found it boring, but recently I have start, I have start to go to the library to explore more and more to improve my skill and knowledge.
✓ Actually I don't often go to the library because I find it boring, but recently I have started to go to the library to explore more and to improve my skills and knowledge.
Mixed and incorrect verb tenses: 'found' is past but context is general habit so use present 'find'; 'have start' is incorrect past participle — use 'have started'. Also pluralize 'skill' to 'skills' for natural phrasing and remove repetitive 'more and more'. Suggestion: keep present tense for general opinions and present perfect for recent changes: 'I find' and 'I have started'.
× Well, umm, well, I formally go to the library to read some romance books and uh, additionally, umm, I also use borrow this uh, print machine to print some paper.
✓ Well, I normally go to the library to read some romance books and, additionally, I also use the printer to print papers.
Incorrect word choices and verb forms: 'formally' is wrong adverb — 'normally' fits habitual action. 'use borrow' is an incorrect combination; choose either 'use' or 'borrow'; here 'use the printer' is appropriate. 'print machine' is nonstandard — use 'printer'. 'print some paper' should be 'print papers' or 'print some papers'. Suggestion: use correct collocations: 'normally', 'use the printer', 'print papers'.
× Actually, I'm not umm, I didn't go to the library because because umm, I myself is, is the person who never, who never read any books in life.
✓ Actually, I didn't go to the library because I was the person who never read any books.
Mixed tense and subject-verb agreement errors: 'I'm not' conflicts with past 'didn't go'; maintain past tense 'I didn't go'. 'I myself is' is incorrect — use past 'I was'. 'Who never read any books in life' is wordy; 'who never read any books' conveys the meaning. Suggestion: keep consistent past tense for childhood habits: 'I didn't go... because I was the person who never read any books.'

✓ Oh, frankly speaking, I think Chinese kids often go to the library because the authorities are encouraging students to improve their IQ and EQ.
Several issues: 'always go' is too absolute — use 'often' unless sure. 'the authority are' is subject-verb agreement and number: use plural 'authorities are' or singular 'the authority is'. 'promoting promoting' is repeated. 'to increase the their IQ and EQ rate' has article error and unnatural phrasing — remove extra 'the' and 'rate', use 'improve their IQ and EQ'. Suggestion: use 'often', correct plural noun and verb agreement, avoid repetitions, and phrase 'improve their IQ and EQ'.
