Do you often go to the library?
Điểm: 58.0Gợi ý: Be more natural and concise: start with a clear topic sentence, correct grammar, and avoid redundancy. Use one or two linking phrases to add brief supporting details (e.g., why you go and what you do). Also correct prepositions and article use (e.g., “go there,” “a quiet place,” “work on my essays”).
Ví dụ: Yes, I go to the library almost every day. I usually go there to work on my essays and use the computers because it’s a quiet place where I can focus and do research.
What do you usually do in the library?
Điểm: 52.0Gợi ý: Answer directly with a clear topic sentence about typical activities, then add specific details using linking words. Fix tense and verb forms (e.g., “relax my mood” → “relax and improve my concentration,” “I prepare my apps” is unclear—say ‘set up my laptop’). Keep to two to three supporting details.
Ví dụ: I usually find a quiet seat and then study. For example, I set up my laptop, read textbooks, and do homework because the calm environment helps me concentrate.

× I go to the library at most every day.
✓ I go to the library almost every day.
'at most every day' is incorrect collocation. Use 'almost every day' to indicate frequency close to daily.
× I usually go to there to prepare and read my essay and to read use the computer because I need to quiet place where I can focus my work and do research.
✓ I usually go there to prepare and write my essays and to use the computer because I need a quiet place where I can focus on my work and do research.
Multiple issues: 'go to there' should be 'go there' (incorrect preposition/location phrase), 'read my essay' should be 'write my essays' to match context, 'to read use the computer' is word order error and should be 'to use the computer', missing article 'a quiet place', and 'focus my work' should be 'focus on my work'. Fix word order and articles for clarity.
× Well, I think I want to find a good place.
✓ Well, I think I want to find a good place to study.
Verb tense is acceptable, but the sentence is incomplete for the context. Adding 'to study' clarifies purpose. No tense change required.
× It's quiet and relax my mood and I prepared my apps and do homework.
✓ It's quiet and relaxes my mood, and I prepare my apps and do my homework.
'relax' should be third person singular 'relaxes' to agree with subject 'It' (subject-verb agreement/third person). 'prepared' is past tense but context is habitual, so use present 'prepare'. Add 'my' before 'homework' for possessive.
× No, when I was child, I don't like to read a book and I prefer to play the game all around my parents and go to shopping and the place.
✓ No, when I was a child, I didn't like to read books; I preferred to play games with my parents and go shopping.
Multiple tense and article errors: 'when I was child' needs article 'a child'. For past habit use past tense 'didn't like' and 'preferred'. 'read a book' should be plural 'read books' for general activity. 'play the game all around my parents' is unnatural; change to 'play games with my parents'. 'go to shopping' should be 'go shopping'. Removed unclear 'and the place'.
× I don't know.
✓ I'm not sure.
While 'I don't know' is grammatically correct, in this context 'I'm not sure' is a more natural spoken response to the question about general behavior of Chinese kids. This is a style/phrasing improvement rather than a strict grammar correction.
