× No, I don't have enough time to go to the library because of the busy schedule.
✓ No, I don't have enough time to go to the library because of my busy schedule.
The phrase 'the busy schedule' is incorrect because it lacks a possessive pronoun. Using 'my busy schedule' correctly indicates whose schedule is being referred to, making the sentence clearer and grammatically correct.
× But yeah, I read books and online and I find it very convenient.
✓ But yeah, I read books online and I find it very convenient.
The phrase 'read books and online' is incorrect because 'and' is improperly used between 'books' and 'online'. The correct preposition is 'online' directly modifying 'read books', so 'read books online' is the proper expression.
× Plus I don't have a library nearby so I read books at my home.
✓ Plus, I don't have a library nearby, so I read books at home.
The phrase 'at my home' is less natural in English; 'at home' is the correct and more common expression. Also, commas are added for clarity and correct sentence structure.
× I use the library to gather information from textbooks and other resources to better prepare for the test.
✓ I use the library to gather information from textbooks and other resources to better prepare for the test.
This sentence is correct; no correction needed.
× I'm not a book reader when I was a kid I'm more focused on playing games rather than going to the library.
✓ I wasn't a book reader when I was a kid; I was more focused on playing games rather than going to the library.
The original sentence incorrectly mixes present tense 'I'm' with past time 'when I was a kid'. The verb tense should be past ('I wasn't') to match the time frame. Also, a semicolon or period is needed to separate the two independent clauses for clarity.
× But but yes, I went and my school library for my studies.
✓ But yes, I went to my school library for my studies.
The phrase 'went and my school library' is incorrect; it should be 'went to my school library'. Also, the repeated 'but' is unnecessary and should be removed for clarity.
× I'm not sure about the Chinese kids, like I never went to China.
✓ I'm not sure about Chinese kids, as I have never been to China.
The phrase 'like I never went to China' is informal and incorrect in this context. Using 'as I have never been to China' is more appropriate and grammatically correct. Also, 'the Chinese kids' should be 'Chinese kids' without 'the' to refer generally.
