Answers
1. I live in Paris, France.
2. The other colours are nice too.
3. I have another question.
4. I booked my holiday on the internet.
5. I translated it into my language.
6. Thank you for everything.
7. I want to spend more time studying.
8. I’m watching a new series on Netflix.
Notes
1. Put the city before the country and separate them with a comma.
​2. "Other" is an adjective so we cannot add "s".
3. "Another" means one other. We use "other" before plural nouns, and "another" before singular nouns.
(These words can also be used as pronouns. For example:
I'll have another. (Another = another one)
Tell the others. (Others = other people) Here you need "s".)
4. It's always "on the internet".
5. Use "into", not "in", when there is a change from one thing to another.
6. "All" is usually followed by a noun but "everything" is not. For example:
They've eaten everything!
They've eaten all the food.
7. spend time on + noun
For example:
How much time did you spend on your homework?
I spent five hours on this essay!
But spend time + ...ing (no "on")
For example: 
I spend my free time reading and watching TV.
You spend too much time playing computer games!
8. The singular and plural forms are the same: one series, two series. Crazy!
