Not bad, Emanuela. I have suggested a few changes
1)You must be prepared to GIVE way (AWAY) at times if you want to live in harmony (peace.)
Give way means give ground, to compromise which I think is what you mean. To give away means to donate smothing to another free of charge. Or a father will 'give away' his daughter when she marries.
2)TURN UP the gas a bit,but mind you don't burn the garlic. (Is it an idioms ??I never heard it)
The English is correct. I haven't heard this idiom. A more common one is 'if you cannot stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.
3)Six people applied for the job,but one of them dropped (DROP) OUT. (past tense)
4)Jack TURNED UP half-way through the lesson.
5)We can PUT you UP for a week.
6)I like to keep in shape so I want (I'd like) to join (TAKE UP) the gym.

turn up = increase. For example, you can trun up the volume on music.
3)Six people applied for the job,but one of them DROPPED OUT.
to drop out is very often used specifically for people who do not finish their schooling.
In fact, such a person might be called a 'drop out', with a negative connotation.

5)We can PUT you UP for a week.
6)I like to keep in shape so I'd like to TAKE UP going to the gym.
To take up, in the sense of begi to do something new, is normally followed by the verb+ING
I'm going to to take up playing the guitar.
