× Well I usually celebrate my birthday with my family especially my younger brother because our birthdays is the same day.
✓ Well I usually celebrate my birthday with my family, especially my younger brother, because our birthdays are on the same day.
The noun 'birthdays' is plural and requires the plural verb 'are' (subject-verb agreement). Also use 'on the same day' for when dates match. Suggestion: match plural subjects with plural verbs and use correct preposition for dates.
× We usually have a cake and we will brawl out the candle while everyone singing Happy Birthday song.
✓ We usually have a cake and we blow out the candles while everyone sings the Happy Birthday song.
Use simple present 'blow' for habitual actions instead of 'will brawl'. 'Candles' is plural because cakes often have multiple candles; use 'sings' for third person singular 'everyone'. Include the definite article 'the' before 'Happy Birthday song'. Also correct verb 'blow out' spelling.
× We usually have a cake and we will brawl out the candle while everyone singing Happy Birthday song.
✓ We usually have a cake and we blow out the candles while everyone sings the Happy Birthday song.
After 'while' the verb should be in simple present for habitual situations ('while everyone sings'), not the bare present participle 'singing'. Use proper verb forms for clarity.
× Nothing special. I think most of my birthday when I was young, we celebrate it by blowing out candle, which on a cake and it's the cake at the cake together.
✓ Nothing special. I think most of my birthdays when I was young, we celebrated them by blowing out candles that were on a cake and sharing the cake together.
The time reference 'when I was young' requires past tense 'celebrated'. 'Birthdays' should be plural and pronoun 'them' refers back to 'birthdays'. 'Candles' plural and 'that were on a cake' clarifies placement. Use 'sharing the cake together' for intended meaning.
× Nothing special. I think most of my birthday when I was young, we celebrate it by blowing out candle, which on a cake and it's the cake at the cake together.
✓ Nothing special. I think most of my birthdays when I was young, we celebrated them by blowing out candles that were on a cake and sharing the cake together.
Multiple issues include singular/plural mismatch: 'birthday' should be 'birthdays', 'celebrate' should be past 'celebrated', and 'candle' should be 'candles'. Ensure number agreement across nouns and verbs.
× Yet this is quite important for me as that that we can gather together and have a quality time with my friend and family.
✓ Yes, this is quite important for me because we can gather together and have quality time with my friends and family.
Use 'Yes' not 'Yet' to agree. 'Because' is a clearer conjunction than 'as that'. 'Quality time' does not need an article here. Use plural 'friends' to match general reference. Also remove duplicate 'that'.
× It is very rare opportunity in these busy days.
✓ It is a very rare opportunity in these busy days.
Missing article 'a' before 'very rare opportunity'. Use 'in these busy days' is acceptable but 'these days' often stands alone; ensure article presence for countable noun.
× I don't know because I'm not Chinese but I guess maybe it's the the most important one is parents birthdays, maybe because they are parents and they work hard.
✓ I don't know because I'm not Chinese, but I guess the most important birthdays are parents' birthdays, maybe because parents work hard.
Avoid redundancy 'it's the the most important one is'. Use plural possessive 'parents' birthdays' (or 'parents'' birthdays) and plural verb 'are'. Remove unnecessary repetition 'they are parents'. Suggest concise phrasing.
× I don't know because I'm not Chinese but I guess maybe it's the the most important one is parents birthdays, maybe because they are parents and they work hard.
✓ I don't know because I'm not Chinese, but I guess the most important birthdays are parents' birthdays, maybe because parents work hard.
Remove unnecessary definite articles and duplicates. Use possessive form 'parents'' to show birthdays belonging to parents. Ensure clear sentence structure.
