Here are the phrases with some corrections:
19. Como si estuviera en el cielo (Happiness)
It feels like I'm in heaven.
20. yo conozco de memoria todos tus movimientos
I know all your movements by heart
En inglés, para decir "de memoria" decimos "by heart"
21. CURTAIN RISES
( is only when curtain opens upwards or in all cases ? can I say curtain opens ? )
No, es solamente para cuando la cortina sube (hacia arriba). Por ejemplo, en el teatro.
22. Me puedo leer el manga ( i mean here that i can read the manga like an option that i got , NOT the ability to do it )
I could read the manga
En este ejemplo yo usaría el verbo "may". "May" significa una posibilidad, que tienes una elección entre hacerlo y no hacerlo.
I may read the manga. (en el sentido de: Puedo leer el manga, tal vez lo haga o tal vez no.)
23.Hay que hacer la tarea ( speaking to all , in general ) ( impersonal task , like a obligation )
Have to do the homework ( not me , in general , like a law )
Puedes decirlo por ejemplo de siguientes formas impersonales:
One has to do homework.
It is necessary to do homework.

19. "It feels like I'm in heaven," makes sense. That one sounds right.
20. "I know all of your movements by memory," is a perfectly accurate translation, but it sounds a little strange to our ears. If you wanted to sound more natural, you'd say, "I know all of your movements by heart." ("Yo conozco de corazón todos tus movimientos.")
21. If you're talking about a real event that you attended where the curtains opened to the sides, you'd say, "the curtains opened." But most theatres have a single curtain that opens upwards, not two curtains that open outwards from the middle. And if you're describing something ambiguous, the common phrase is, "the curtain rises." This is a phrase that can sometimes have a figurative meaning, and we recognize it.
22. "I could read the manga," sounds perfectly normal!
23. This one looks good too! Seems right.
24. I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to say here, but I can tell you it doesn't sound right. Can you elaborate at all on what this is supposed to convey?
