× In my family we usually don't celebrate birthdays but occasionally me and my friends go out sometimes and they bring some cake for me and we celebrate together.
✓ In my family we usually don't celebrate birthdays but occasionally my friends and I go out sometimes and they bring some cake for me and we celebrate together.
The pronoun 'me' is incorrectly used as the subject of the sentence. The correct subject pronoun is 'I'. Therefore, 'me and my friends' should be 'my friends and I'. This is a common pronoun case error.
× Once my family organized this big party for me and invited my friends over at our house and they decorated my room and the hall they had the party at.
✓ Once my family organized this big party for me and invited my friends over to our house and they decorated my room and the hall where they had the party.
The preposition 'at' is incorrectly used at the end of the sentence. The correct preposition to indicate location is 'to' when inviting someone to a place, and 'where' is better to specify the location of the party. Ending a sentence with a preposition like 'at' is generally considered incorrect in formal English.
× Celebrating your birthday isn't as important but I believe it's a great way to make someone day and make them happy since it is a memorable and fun day because everyone enjoyed themselves.
✓ Celebrating your birthday isn't very important but I believe it's a great way to make someone's day and make them happy since it is a memorable and fun day because everyone enjoys themselves.
The phrase 'make someone day' is missing the possessive apostrophe 's' to form 'someone's day'. Also, 'everyone enjoyed themselves' is inconsistent in tense with the rest of the sentence; 'enjoys' is the correct present tense form to match the context.
× I don't specifically know that, but I believe China is. They value birthdays a lot.
✓ I don't specifically know, but I believe that in China, people value birthdays a lot.
The sentence 'I believe China is' is incomplete and unclear. It lacks an object or complement. The correction clarifies the meaning by specifying 'in China, people value birthdays a lot.' This improves sentence structure and clarity.
