× I often celebrate my birthday with my family, friends, relatives and and uh, close friends.

✓ I often celebrate my birthday with my family, friends, relatives and close friends.

The phrase 'and and uh' contains a repeated conjunction 'and' which is incorrect. Removing the duplicate 'and' corrects the sentence structure and improves clarity.

× I enjoy these small gathering because, uh, I want to celebrate my special day with my special ones.

✓ I enjoy these small gatherings because, uh, I want to celebrate my special day with my special ones.

The noun 'gathering' should be plural 'gatherings' to agree with the demonstrative adjective 'these' which refers to plural items.

× When I was young, usually my parents used to organize a small party for me.

✓ When I was young, usually my parents used to organize small parties for me.

The phrase 'a small party' suggests a single event, but 'usually' implies repeated events. Therefore, 'small parties' in plural form is more appropriate.

× They used to invite me, all my classmates and roommates from neighborhood friends.

✓ They used to invite me, all my classmates and roommates from the neighborhood.

The phrase 'roommates from neighborhood friends' is unclear and likely incorrect. It should be 'roommates from the neighborhood' to correctly indicate the group of people.

× Yes, I think your birthday should be special to you and you should be celebrating your birthday the way you want.

✓ Yes, I think your birthday should be special to you and you should celebrate your birthday the way you want.

The phrase 'should be celebrating' is less direct and less common here. Using 'should celebrate' is more appropriate for expressing advice or recommendation.

× Either you could spend your time with your loved ones or either you can spend your time on your own so by doing some activities or stuff you like.

✓ You could either spend your time with your loved ones or spend your time on your own by doing some activities or things you like.

The use of 'either' twice is redundant. Also, 'could' and 'can' are mixed unnecessarily. Using 'could either... or...' is clearer and more grammatically correct. 'Stuff' is informal; 'things' is more appropriate here.

× So yeah, I believe that it.

✓ So yeah, I believe that.

The phrase 'I believe that it' is incomplete and awkward. Removing 'it' completes the sentence properly.

× Well, I'm not aware about the Chinese community, umm, because I belong to Asian communities, so I'm not aware of, uh, the person like how it should be in the Chinese culture.

✓ Well, I'm not aware of the Chinese community, umm, because I belong to Asian communities, so I'm not aware of, uh, how it should be in Chinese culture.

The correct preposition with 'aware' is 'of' not 'about'. Also, 'the person like how it should be' is unclear and awkward; simplifying to 'how it should be' improves clarity. 'In Chinese culture' is the correct phrase without 'the'.
