× Yes, I often go to the library in my university time for some relaxation and to learn something new from books.
✓ Yes, I often go to the library at my university for some relaxation and to learn something new from books.
The phrase 'in my university time' is ungrammatical English. Use 'at my university' to indicate location/time context. Also ensure preposition choice fits English collocations: 'go to the library at my university'. Suggestion: say 'at my university' or 'when I am at university'. Use 'at' for institutions and locations.
× So, and uh, and the main reason is that I don't like crowded places like university so crowded.
✓ The main reason is that I don't like crowded places, and the university is often too crowded.
The original sentence has redundant fillers ('So, and uh, and') and incorrect word order 'like university so crowded'. Rephrase to a clear clause: 'the university is often too crowded'. Suggestion: remove filler words and use a full clause with subject and verb.
× So I decided to go to library at sometimes that, uh, for learning to stay away from distractions.
✓ So I decided to go to the library sometimes to study and stay away from distractions.
'at sometimes that' is incorrect word order and 'for learning to stay away' is awkward. Use infinitive 'to study' or 'to learn' to express purpose and place 'the library'. Suggestion: use 'sometimes' before the verb and 'to study' for purpose.
× I usually read books in library and often if if my exams are near, if my exams are closed.
✓ I usually read books in the library, and if my exams are near, I study there more often.
Missing definite article 'the' before 'library'. 'if my exams are closed' is wrong collocation; use 'near' or 'coming up'. Also duplicate 'if'. Suggestion: include 'the library' and use 'if my exams are near' or 'when my exams are approaching'.
× So I study there in library at my whole time because there are less less destruction and less crowded place.
✓ So I study in the library for long periods because there is less distraction and it is less crowded.
Problems: missing 'the' before 'library', awkward 'at my whole time', wrong plural 'destruction' instead of 'distraction', and comparative form 'less crowded place' needs rephrasing. Use 'there is less distraction' and 'it is less crowded'. Suggestion: say 'for long periods' or 'for most of my time there' and use singular 'distraction'.
× No, I don't go library when I was a kid.
✓ No, I didn't go to the library when I was a kid.
Tense inconsistency: 'don't' is present while 'when I was a kid' requires past tense. Also missing 'to' and 'the' before 'library'. Use simple past 'didn't go'. Suggestion: use 'didn't go to the library' for past negative statements.
× Yes, Chinese kids often go to the library because challenges 2 streaks on their too strict on their rules and very punctual and stick to their rules.
✓ Yes, Chinese kids often go to the library because their schools are strict about rules and they tend to be punctual and disciplined.
Original sentence is ungrammatical and unclear: 'challenges 2 streaks on their too strict on their rules' makes no sense. Likely intended meaning: schools are strict. Use 'their schools are strict about rules' and 'punctual and disciplined' for clarity. Suggestion: replace unclear fragment with 'their schools are strict about rules' and avoid repeated 'their rules'.
× So I think their kids often go to the library.
✓ So I think their children often go to the library.
Using 'their kids' is grammatically possible but sounds awkward after referring to 'Chinese kids'. Pronoun 'their' is ambiguous; better to say 'Chinese children often go to the library' or 'I think so'. Suggestion: avoid repeating 'kids' and use 'children' or restructure: 'I think Chinese children often go to the library.'
