× There is a main library of the city.
✓ There is the main library of the city.
The speaker intended to refer to a specific, unique library in the city, so the definite article 'the' is required before 'main library'. Use 'the' for a particular or known noun; 'a' would imply any main library, which is unlikely here.
× The reason a lot of range of books, uh, and I always enjoy uh, to go and read here.
✓ The reason is that there is a wide range of books, and I always enjoy going there to read.
The original mixes quantifier and structure incorrectly. Use 'a wide range of books' to express many books. Also 'the reason is that' introduces an explanation and 'enjoy going' requires the gerund form of the verb after 'enjoy'. Keep word order clear.
× Umm, there is a very calm and relaxing, uh, atmosphere.
✓ Umm, there is a very calm and relaxing atmosphere.
This sentence only needed removal of extraneous hesitations and redundant comma. 'Calm' and 'relaxing' correctly modify 'atmosphere'; punctuation and fillers should be minimized for correctness.
× Uh, so it's uh, for me very.
✓ So, it is very comfortable for me.
Original sentence lacks a clear adjective and has incorrect word order. Provide a complete predicate and place 'for me' after the adjective or at sentence end: 'very comfortable for me'.
× I usually choose a book which I would like to read.
✓ I usually choose a book that I would like to read.
In spoken English 'that' is preferred for defining relative clauses with things. 'Which' is acceptable in some cases but using 'that' sounds more natural here.
× After that I also booked a cup of coffee and choose the the a nice place where I can also from where I also can see that.
✓ After that I also buy a cup of coffee and choose a nice place from where I can see outside.
Tense and modality: 'booked' is past but context is habitual, so use present simple 'buy'. Remove double articles 'the the a'. Rephrase to 'choose a nice place from where I can see outside' for clarity. Also avoid repeated 'also'.
× Yes, I used to to go library when I were as a kid and I liked it very much and because there are always one place and the carpools were gentle and reserved and I.
✓ Yes, I used to go to the library when I was a kid, and I liked it very much because it was always a calm place and the staff were polite and quiet.
Multiple tense and grammar errors: 'used to to' duplicate, missing preposition 'to the library', incorrect past form 'were' for singular 'I' should be 'was'. 'There are always one place' is ungrammatical; use 'it was always a calm place'. 'Carpools' is incorrect word choice; likely 'staff' fits. Use past tense consistently for past habitual actions.
× Do Chinese kids often go to the library? I think Chinese kids are not often go to the library because in recent years technology are is developed and they have a lot of opportunity to read in on the online resources.
✓ I think Chinese kids do not often go to the library because in recent years technology has developed and they have many opportunities to read using online resources.
Several errors: 'are not often go' is wrong word order and auxiliary — use 'do not often go'. 'Technology are is developed' should be 'technology has developed' (singular noun with present perfect). 'A lot of opportunity' should be plural 'many opportunities'. 'Read in on the online resources' corrected to 'read using online resources' for preposition use and clarity.
