Are they correct, please?

Please, are the following sentences correct?


"Come on. We are little bit late. We have to hurry ! Help me to decorate this place.";




"Place these masks and posters over there on the wall, please.";



"I brought some appetizers. They seem so yummy...I will put them on this table.";



"Party streamers are widely used in Carnival parties.";



"I couldn’t forget the soft drinks. Here they are. ";



"What I liked most was the samba schools parade.";



"Come on everybody, join us in this Carnival party."

Assuming these are spoken English, most of them are fine. The only sentence that sounds more like written English is Party streamers are widely used in Carnival parties. It sounds like it's from an essay on Carnival parties rather than a spontaneous remark.
