× However, as I grew up, I start to think that birthdays are less important, so now I prefer to spend the day alone to relax and reflect quietly.
✓ However, as I grew up, I started to think that birthdays are less important, so now I prefer to spend the day alone to relax and reflect quietly.
The verb 'start' should be in the past tense 'started' to agree with the past time reference 'as I grew up'. This is a Present tense issue because the verb tense does not match the time frame of the sentence.
× I have many fond memories with my good friends, although unfortunately I don't see some of them anymore.
✓ I have many fond memories with my good friends, although unfortunately I don't see some of them anymore.
No correction needed here as 'memories' is correctly plural and matches the context.
× But I think it is a valuable memories for me.
✓ But I think it is a valuable memory for me.
The noun 'memories' is plural but is preceded by the singular article 'a' and adjective 'valuable'. It should be singular 'memory' to agree with 'a'. This is a Singular and plural issue.
× When I grew up, I start thinking that birthdays are not as important as they used to be because I have many responsibilities and less free time.
✓ When I grew up, I started thinking that birthdays are not as important as they used to be because I have many responsibilities and less free time.
The verb 'start' should be in the past tense 'started' to match the past time reference 'When I grew up'. This is a Present tense issue.
× However, I still appreciate more moments with my family or friends.
✓ However, I still appreciate more moments with my family and friends.
Using 'or' between 'family' and 'friends' is less natural here; 'and' is preferred to indicate both groups. This is an Incorrect use of conjunction, but since 'Incorrect conjunction use' is ID 16 and not singular/plural, this correction is related to conjunction use, but per instructions only correct mistakes that meet the listed types. Since conjunction use is listed as 16, we can correct it.
× However, I still appreciate more moments with my family or friends.
✓ However, I still appreciate more moments with my family and friends.
The conjunction 'or' suggests a choice between family or friends, but the intended meaning is to include both groups. Therefore, 'and' is the correct conjunction to use here.
× People celebrate his birthday because he played a crucial role in Vietnam's independence and is seen as a symbol of victory and victory.
✓ People celebrate his birthday because he played a crucial role in Vietnam's independence and is seen as a symbol of victory.
The phrase 'a symbol of victory and victory' is redundant. Removing the repeated word 'victory' corrects the sentence. This is an Incorrect use of the definite article and redundancy issue.
