× When I was young, I used to eat a cake and play games with my best friends because I believe that eating a special cake on this day can bring me a whole year of luck.
✓ When I was young, I used to eat a cake and play games with my best friends because I believed that eating a special cake on this day could bring me a whole year of luck.
The sentence mixes past and present tense incorrectly. Since the action refers to the past ('When I was young'), the verbs 'believe' and 'can' should be in past tense ('believed' and 'could') to maintain tense consistency.
× Yes, I think it's important to celebrate the birthday because it helps me reflect the past and appreciate how much I have grown. Moreover, it can boost my self esteem and motivates me to move further.
✓ Yes, I think it's important to celebrate the birthday because it helps me reflect on the past and appreciate how much I have grown. Moreover, it can boost my self-esteem and motivate me to move further.
The verb 'reflect' requires the preposition 'on' to be correct ('reflect on the past'). 'Self esteem' should be hyphenated as 'self-esteem'. Also, 'motivates' should be 'motivate' to agree with the singular subject 'it' after 'can' (modal verbs are followed by base form).
× Yes, I think it's important to celebrate the birthday because it helps me reflect the past and appreciate how much I have grown.
✓ Yes, I think it's important to celebrate the birthday because it helps me reflect on the past and appreciate how much I have grown.
The verb 'reflect' is commonly followed by the preposition 'on' when referring to thinking about something. Omitting 'on' is incorrect in this context.
× Moreover, it's a great opportunity to express your gratitude to your mothers.
✓ Moreover, it's a great opportunity to express your gratitude to your mother.
The sentence refers to 'a mother's birthday' in singular, so 'mothers' should be singular 'mother' to maintain agreement and clarity.
