I've listened to your works. So far, I find i_wanna_be_with_you.ftm to be the best one. So far, if this is your first set of songs, keep on practicing; you're off to a good start.

These songs are actually good for a beginner (though I am one myself). There is some room for improvement, but, like TechEmporium said, you're off to a good start.

привет!
Welcome to the forum, 707! (When I think 707, I think Roland TR-707, haha)
These tunes are pretty good for your first works with FamiTracker!
Nice echo in the squares on "iloveyou".
Your DPCM samples are really good, too. Some of them sound like TR-707 samples to me. Are they? I had a TR-505 for many years. Needing money, I sampled all of the sounds and then sold it. Anyway, back on topic:
I have a few things for you to consider:
1. All four of these tunes are in same tempo. Even the 300bpm one...it's just 150bpm again, except with more rows in between each beat.
2. A lot of the main melodies sound similar - steady streams of 8th or 16th notes, playing what seem like random notes along the C major scale.
I said all that to say this - the grooves are great...you obviously have the DPCM stuff working/sounding great! Now, you should add some more variety to your arrangements.
a. VOLUME
b. when there are long notes held out, add some small volume changes - like slowly decrescendo, then crescendo again.
Also try adding vibrato (not too much) on the long notes.
c. Don't start vibrato right away - it sounds much more vocal-like if you wait a couple rows before using 4xx.
