This is very long. I will give you some general suggestions, but I don't have the time (or inclination) to correct everything.

On number 5, I think you are supposed to say what you do in your free time. So the missing word is "free".

You need to review sentences using "gusta". Part II numbers 6 and 8 are correct, but the rest have various problems. Part II number 3 is incorrect because the question asks "does the teacher like enchiliadas" -- it is not a question directed at the the teacher, but about the teacher.

You have translated "I do not dance" as "yo hacer no bailo" -- this is based on a word-by-word translation which is not correct. In English, "do" is used as a helping verb here. It doesn't get translated into Spanish.

I do not dance = (yo) no bailo

Notice that the word "do" is NOT in the Spanish sentence. This problem is in Part I sentence 9, and Part II sentence 1.

Part II number 3 has 3 separate problems, one of which is confusion between ser and estar.

Last sentence, "on top of" is usually "encima de".

These sentences are in pretty good shape: Part I, numbers 7, 8, 10 and Part II numbers 4,6,7,8,9.
