These are really nicely composed. Perhaps the textbook has a 'key' anyway, but I have suggestions:

1. His love for children made him go in for teaching and he never regretted his choice.

[I've seen this 'go in for...' in several textbook exercises. Though, I have never actually heard anyone use this construction! My 'современный' suggestion would be: "made him go into ..." or "led him to go into..."]

4. I'm afraid it will be difficult for pupils to cope with the task that time [Commonly, the construction is '...will be... this time', so perhaps, "the task this time"]

7. Only with honest work you can earn people's respect. Привычным порядком слов являатся несомненно "only with...A can you... B"

8. Not everyone who gets the profession [проклятие артиклей. "a profession." vs. "the profession of...". Also a strange sentence. Perhaps 'gets into the...'.] of a teacher in Great Britain takes up a job.

10. My friend had considered medicine as a career before he finished school. He has always thought that work is the most important in the world. [Very interesting sentence! I suggest that in speech this would sound normal, if intoned right. However, the 'that', in text, is a bit ambiguous. I suggest, "He has always thought of that work as the most important..." because the grammatical alternative would probably be, "He has always thought that that(т.е. medical) work is..."]

11. Love of music and interest in (the) theory of education made me consider the teaching of music as a career / made me consider teaching_music as a career.

12. Often school leavers have difficulties in choosing a profession. In such case teachers and parents can help them to make the right choice of the University.
