× Besides study, I also explore a variety of books there, which helps me relax and expand my knowledge.
✓ Besides studying, I also explore a variety of books there, which helps me relax and expand my knowledge.
The phrase 'Besides study' is incorrect because 'besides' should be followed by a noun or gerund. 'Studying' is the gerund form of the verb 'study', which correctly functions as a noun here. Therefore, 'Besides studying' is the correct form.
× Overall, the library is an ideal place for me to review my textbooks and improvements.
✓ Overall, the library is an ideal place for me to review my textbooks and make improvements.
The word 'improvements' is used incorrectly here as a noun without a clear reference. The intended meaning is likely to express the action of improving, so 'make improvements' is the correct phrase. This clarifies that the student is actively improving rather than reviewing 'improvements' as objects.
× I usually review my textbooks there because library provides a quiet and comfortable environment for me to concentrate on my textbooks.
✓ I usually review my textbooks there because the library provides a quiet and comfortable environment for me to concentrate on my textbooks.
The sentence is missing the definite article 'the' before 'library'. In English, singular countable nouns usually require an article. 'The library' specifies the particular library being referred to, making the sentence grammatically correct.
× Besides, I also try to explore a variety of books where I can relax and enjoy my stories.
✓ Besides, I also try to explore a variety of books where I can relax and enjoy the stories.
The phrase 'enjoy my stories' is incorrect because 'my stories' implies stories created by the speaker, which is unlikely in this context. The correct phrase is 'enjoy the stories', referring to the content of the books. This is a prepositional and pronoun usage issue.
× Yes, I did, because when I was a kid I was very interested in a variety of books and many knowledge, so my parents took me to the library very often and that I can enjoy a variety of books with freedom and auxiliary.
✓ Yes, I did, because when I was a kid I was very interested in a variety of books and much knowledge, so my parents took me to the library very often so that I could enjoy a variety of books with freedom and support.
'Many knowledge' is incorrect because 'knowledge' is an uncountable noun and should be quantified with 'much' instead of 'many'. Also, 'and that I can enjoy' is awkward; the correct phrase is 'so that I could enjoy' to express purpose in the past. 'Auxiliary' is incorrectly used; 'support' is the appropriate word here.
× Yes, they do. In the library I can see that most of the readers are Chinese kids, sometimes with their parents, because Chinese kids are very interested in a variety of books and the knowledge so and the parents are very support them.
✓ Yes, they do. In the library I can see that most of the readers are Chinese kids, sometimes with their parents, because Chinese kids are very interested in a variety of books and knowledge, and the parents very much support them.
The phrase 'the knowledge so and the parents are very support them' is grammatically incorrect. 'The knowledge so' is unnecessary and awkward; 'knowledge' should be uncountable without 'the'. Also, 'the parents are very support them' is incorrect; it should be 'the parents very much support them' to correctly use the verb 'support' with the object 'them'. The pronoun usage and sentence structure needed correction.
