The sentence is kind of strange but you have the right idea.

Very good work!
Today, I continue to learning new vocabulary and I make some sentences using ithem.
“Vocabulary” is a collective noun that is grammatically singular (“it” instead of “them”).
I hope you could check the usage of these words in the context, and the grammar.
Thank you!
We must think over obvious things in our daily life / lives because *plausible* theories are sometimes totally wrong / false, and vice versa, *preposterous* ideas are sometimes right / the truths / true.
It would be more natural to contrast “wrong” with “right” or “false” with “true.”
The number of roosts has decreased for several years because of forest erosion, which means numerous birds and other animals have become refugees.
(Can 'refugee' refer to an animal other than a person?)
It sounds OK to me.
It's a grand surprise that as a freshman I have the opportunity to contribute to the *unprecedented*ly large* / first ever art festival in my school.
“Unprecedented” on its own sounds weird as a descriptor for an art festival. You could say “unprecedentedly large” or some other adverb+adjective combination, but if you mean it’s the first art festival ever held at this school, I would say “first ever.”
Under fierce competition, students have to study harder to *assure* their priority in admission.
The grammar is fine, but I’m not sure about the logic: would studying harder really assure their priority in admission? They might study really hard but still not do well on the admission exam, and therefore fail to get into the school, I think. Therefore, it might make more sense to say they need to do well on the entrance exam in order to assure their admission priority.
As a teenager in the puberty, I would like make decisions by myself rather than accept the decisions *imposed* by my parents.
She iwas so gorgeous that I could hardly *conceal* my affection.
Suggestion: She looked so gorgeous to me that I could hardly conceal my affection.
A dangerous idea emerged in his mind and he decided to *conceal* it from others.
suggestion: A dangerous idea formed in his mind, which he decided to conceal from others.
Forbidding kids from watching what programs they like *deprives* them of their rights to choose, their freedom and even their happiness.
Usage: we don’t deprive a right, we deprive a person of that right.
Alternative: …deprives them of their rights of choice, freedom and even happiness.
