Can you please check these few sentences I'm not sure of. Thank you for all.
1)My work day starts at 7.55 a.m.
I nearly always have to drive my child to school. It usually takes me ten minutes to get there (OR: It's a ten-minute drive.) After that I drive to work.
2)As soon as I get into my office, I make myself (?) a cup of coffee to wake up (?)
3)What do you like most about your school?
4) I usually get 30-euro pocket money a week (every week?) and I spend it on bus tickets, food and clothes.
5) I spend my pocket money to recharge (?) my cell phone and on piano lessons, which I take twice a week.
What would you rather be different?
(or: What things would you change?)
The only thing I would change is "What would you rather be different?" = What would you rather were different?

1) The sentences you provided are mostly correct. Here are some minor edits:
- My work day starts at 7.55 a.m.
- I nearly always have to drive my child to school. It usually takes me ten minutes to get there, or alternatively, I can say "It's a ten-minute drive." After dropping off my child, I drive to work.
2) As soon as I get into my office, I make myself a cup of coffee to wake up.
3) "What do you like most about your school?" is a correct and clear question.
4) "I usually get 30 euros of pocket money every week, and I spend it on bus tickets, food, and clothes."
5) "I use my pocket money to recharge my cell phone and for piano lessons. I take piano lessons twice a week."
For the last question, "What would you rather be different?" or "What things would you change?" both work fine. It's a matter of personal preference which one you choose to use.
