× I would usually celebrate with my loved ones on the day of my birthday, will have a birthday cake in a fancy Italian restaurants and we'll have a great time together and talking about my reasons with my friends.
✓ I usually celebrate with my loved ones on my birthday, have a birthday cake in a fancy Italian restaurant, we'll have a great time together, and talk about my reasons with my friends.
The original mixes conditional/modal 'would' and future 'will' incorrectly with habitual present tense. Use simple present 'usually celebrate' for habitual actions. 'Will have' should be 'have' for a routine; 'talking' should be 'talk' to match the coordinated verbs. Also 'restaurants' should be singular 'restaurant' to match 'a'. Suggestion: use simple present for habits and keep verb forms parallel in lists.
× Usually, my parents will organize the party by ordering food and we'll have a huge public BBQ party together.
✓ Usually, my parents organize the party by ordering food and we have a huge public BBQ party together.
Using 'will' here is unnecessary for habitual past or typical actions; simple present 'organize' is correct for habitual events. Similarly 'we'll have' should be 'we have' to describe repeated or usual occurrences. Suggestion: use simple present for routines instead of 'will'.
× Well, I remember when I was studying in my primary school, I celebrated my birthday by inviting my friends to a BBQ party.
✓ Well, I remember that when I was at primary school, I celebrated my birthday by inviting my friends to a BBQ party.
The phrase 'studying in my primary school' is awkward; use 'at primary school'. The rest uses past tense appropriately. Suggestion: use 'at' with school and maintain past tense for completed actions.
× Yes, it has a significant meaning for me. I think it is important for me to know that I am getting more mature and I have to bear more responsibility to take care of my loved ones and my families.
✓ Yes, it has significant meaning for me. I think it is important to know that I am growing more mature and will have more responsibility to take care of my loved ones and my family.
'Has a significant meaning' is acceptable but 'has significant meaning' is more natural. 'Getting more mature' is better as 'growing more mature'. 'I have to bear more responsibility' is awkward; 'will have more responsibility' fits future implication. 'My families' should be 'my family' (collective singular). Suggestion: use natural collocations (growing mature, have responsibility) and correct noun number.
× Well, besides my birthday, I think, uh, the most important birthday I would celebrate is the birthday of my loved ones because I want to express my sincere gratitude, uh, towards my loved ones and I wish they can feel that I'm grateful I'm here.
✓ Well, besides my birthday, I think the most important birthdays I would celebrate are those of my loved ones because I want to express my sincere gratitude to them, and I hope they can feel that I am grateful to be here.
Pronoun and number errors: 'the most important birthday' should be plural 'birthdays' if referring to multiple loved ones; 'birthday of my loved ones' is awkward—use 'those of my loved ones'. 'Towards my loved ones' is acceptable but 'to them' is more natural. 'I wish they can feel' is incorrect modal choice; use 'I hope they can feel' or 'I hope they feel'. 'I'm grateful I'm here' is awkward; 'I am grateful to be here' is natural. Suggestion: match singular/plural, use correct pronouns, and choose appropriate verbs for wishes/hopes.
