Almost perfect! Just a few errors, here are the corrections: 3. How are the preparations for your upcoming holiday/final exam going? I hope everything is done and well polished. (I personally have never heard or used the phrase "done and dusted," but perhaps it exists in other English speaking countries. Perhaps other users could comment on that.) Everything else was fine. Well done!
