3.this year is different but interesting for me.
4.In July I finish studies
5.My boss goes on holiday. He takes a rest in Egypt (tense?)
6.My son is 13, he needs me every day. Sometimes I think that every hour
7.Next weekend all my family goes at my friend's house in the mountains

1 I would say 'an English school' unless you have already mentioned the school.
2- I would delete 'dancing' or say 'go dancing in a night club'
4 'my studies'
5 Impossible to know the tense without knowing if he's on holiday now, was or will be.
6 The prggressive would be better there
8 my wife and I
