Why I think English learning is important.
A long time ago English became the basic primary language of international relations and still remains the most powerful tool for connecting people from all over the world. As it is Being simple to learn, universal and incredibly convenient to use, English helps to open new horizons in across many very different fields walks of life. It is no secret that the most advanced scientific research is published in English first and then translated into other languages.Well written! My changes in green are stylistic, rather than grammatical. That is, they are optional changes but that I think would make the text sound more fluent and natural.

Russian people usually don't usually [both are correct; this sounds more natural though] celebrate their birthdays ahead of time. For example, if Masha was born on the 1st of May, then she will celebrate it in on this date or later, not earlier.
Please, don't congratulate somebody on their birthday [this is correct, but uncommon; generally we say "to wish somebody a happy birthday"] before the actual date. It could be considered as a bad sign. Many Russians are superstitious.0 votedApril 19, 20180- Da bambino... Da bambino, non mi piaceva parlare con gli altri bambini perché non ero molto socievole. Preferivo leggere da solo in camera mia mentre i miei amici giocavano fuori. Leggevo tutto, ma mi piacevano di più le romanze fantasy. Le mie romanze preferite erano i libri di Harry Potter. Li ho letti molte volte. Quando non volevo leggere, mi piaceva giocare a videogiochi. Non giocavo i videogiochi violenti, ma i strategici (come SimCity). Tuttavia, i miei genitori non piacevano i videogiochi perche mio fratello ed io li giocavamo molto, quindi ci hanno detto che solo potevamo giocare per un'ora ogni giorno. Non mi piaceva la regola da bambino, ma ora so che era una buon'idea.April 19, 201820
Easter in Poland
Before Easter there is a Holy Week, which is the end of the Lent. Lent begins after the Carnival. The last Thursday of Carnival is named called Big Thursday [is this supposed to be Big Tuesday?] and it is a day when we eat donuts with marmalade.The first day of Holy Week (the time when we pray) is Ash Wednesday. It is a day when we don't eat meat. We go to church and the priest strew draws on our heads with ash saying " you are the ash, and you will be the ash". The Sunday which is before Holy Week is called calls Palm Sunday. That day we go to church to shine [bless?] palms.
The most important days are Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The Sant Good Friday is a the day when Jesus Christ was crucified. All crosses are covered up and the tabernacles are opened; it is symbolizes that Jesus Christ had died. The Sant Holy Saturday is a day when we go to church to shine [bless?] baskets filled with meal food. In the baskets we have bread, eggs, salt, pepper, sausage and cakes. On this day we paint eggs. We paint flowers or geometric patterns. The most important day is Sunday. Early in the morning we go to church on the for a special mass called Resurrection. After that we eat a special breakfast with our family. It is a relaxing day. On Easter Monday it is a day when men pour water on the women. Also on this day We also eat and spend time with our family and friends.
Well written! Just a note:
I think where you wrote "shine" you mean "bless" — "ask God to look favorably upon". "Shine" means "to cause to reflect light", which doesn't make sense here.

Ho due padri perché loro sono gay. Sono uno studente all'Università Harvard dove studio l'informatica. Quest'estate, lavoro a Google. Mi piace lavorare lì. Uno dei miei padri si chiama Miguel. Parla spagnolo, perché viene da Spagna. Io parlo spagnolo molto bene, perché l'ho studiato da dieci anni fa. Miguel è molto alto e ha degli capelli marroni e gli occhi verdi. Porta gli occhiali grigi. Senza i suoi occhiali, non può vedere. Voglia bene il mio altro padre. Il mio altro padre si chiama John. È statunitense, quindi non parla spagnolo; parla inglese. Anch'io parlo inglese perché abito a Nuova York. John non è alto, ma non è basso. Ha degli capelli neri e gli occhi verdi. Non porta gli occhiali. Miguel e John mi hanno adottato quando avevo due anni. Gli voglio bene e loro mi vogliono bene.April 15, 201820
(1) I think you can say that; it's a little awkward, but it's correct. I'd probably say something more like "my friend and I are in the photo". I don't think I'd say "there are".
(2) Yes, you'd say "my friend and I", and I think you'd say "he and I", but the sentence is really awkward, so I'm having trouble telling if it's correct. Again, I'd say "He and I are in the photo" or "The photo is of him and me".
