Absolutely, yes, because birthdays only come once a year. I cannot celebrate it, but I'm not inviting my friends or some relatives. I will not celebrate with my family, as I've mentioned, but they have fundamental value for me, just like in the past. Sometimes I can go for a walk with my friends to celebrate, but mostly I spend my birthday only with my family.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but lacks precision. The phrase 'birdies are only once in air' is unclear and should be rephrased. Try to use more varied and precise vocabulary to express your ideas more clearly. For example, instead of 'fundamental value,' consider using 'deep significance' or 'great importance.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors, such as 'I'm cannot celebrate it' and awkward phrasing like 'I spent my day in the day of my birthday.' Focus on using correct sentence structures and verb tenses. Practice forming grammatically accurate sentences to improve clarity.
