Cultural Tradition

The ability to travel all over the world gives us a chance to live in a different country and to know other cultural tradition.After coming to
the U.S , I noticed some similarities and differences in cultural tradition
between the U.S and Poland. As in the U.S the most important holidays
in Poland are Christmas and Easter.Christmas time is the most beloved
and beautiful of all traditional holidays alike in Poland and U.S. Both
in Poland and U.S people dress a Christmas tree and sing Polish Christmas Carol.Similarly to the U.S we have found presents under
a Christmas tree. The differences are that we celebrate for two days,
in the U.S people celebrate only one day. Christmas Eve is very important
day for Polish people.Whole family gather at home to eat festive dinner.
American people often celebrate that day in a restaurant. Easter in spring , Polish people celebrate for two days , in contrast people in U.S
only one day. As in the U.S children make colourful eggs and family eat
holidays breakfast. In Poland people celebrate Easter according to the
Catholic Church rules. In the United States in various way depends on
origins, cultures and skin colors.However, it is not important thing in which way we celebrate but keeping our tradition allow to know who we are.

The Polish traditions to celebrate holidays sound very interesting. I think your topic and supporting sentences do not connect.
Check your grammar. For example, "we can to loss our cultural tradition.." (we can lose), "... depends of origins,
cultures ..." (depends on).

Topic/Concluding:
I agree with your first sentence, but it doesn't connect to the rest of your paragraph. It would make more sense if you deleted it and started with "The ability to.."

You need a concluding sentence.

Supporting Ideas:
You have good examples for differences, but you need 3 similiarities.

You repeat the same idea twice.
Transitions/Vocabulary:
These days..
As in the U.S., (alike is confusing)
Both in Poland and U.S. people dress a Christmas tree..

Grammar/Comparitives:
Check spaces in between periods.
