1. All the variations are possible, but I wouldn't use the simple past. This is an action that needs past continuous.

2. OK

3. Space needed after each period. It'd be better to have "written Latin..." (reverse the order of the words).

4. I still haven't eaten an ice-cream cone. I still haven't eaten ice-cream. I still haven't downloaded any songs yet.
I have already done the shopping with my mum.

5) OK

We have just released (is "shot" possible?). <~~I don't understand this one.

6) I've already gone online to do some shopping.
Last week we conducted/had an interview for a music magazine.
You'd use "conducted" if you were doing the interviewing. You'd use "had" if you were being interviewed. You'd use "music" if the magazine is about music. You'd use "musical" if the magazine sings to you!

7) I still haven't revised _____ for my oral test. Or do you mean you reviewed for the test?

OK
