Your answers are correct.

Number 4 should change to A) She didn't expect it or B) It was unexpected by her.

In number 8, "myself" should be "herself"

In 11, "year old" should be "years old." "Year old" is only singular
before a noun (for example, a 22 year old piano player).

This has a few errors:

- I feel nothing special because she has already prepared everything and she really love her job ,so she can success her's field ,even if she doesn't catch this chance.

correction:

- I feel nothing special because she has already prepared everything and she really lOVES her job ,so she can SUCCEED (or "ACHIEVE SUCCESS) in her field ,even if she doesn't catch this chance.
