Hi Roy, here's what I would say as a native speaker of Canadian English:
1. "Today, I had a lot of work in THE office." (I would naturally favour "AT THE office". To me, "at the office" is an idiomatic expressions that means "at work" or "at my job", but "in the office" focuses on physical location.) "I'm dog tired" sounds a little old-fashioned to me but is understandable.
2. "My daughter came HOME from school. She is ecstatic, BECAUSE she won..."
3. Both sentences sound good.
4. Both sentences sound good. "Fetched" is a little bit unusual in my dialect but it is perfectly understandable. My dialect would prefer "picked my daughter up", but this may be different where you are.
5. This sentence sounds good.
6. This sentence is good, grammatically. "Wallow" implies she is indulging herself, not caring about anyone else at that moment. If I used that word, I would be careful that is exactly what I mean. For example, I might use "wallow" if she had a very bad day and is sitting under the table hoping someone will comfort her.
7. Should be two sentences. Put a period after "properly", and start a new sentence with "Due". If writing formally, "five-storey" would be hyphenated (might depend on region and writing style).
8. This sentence sounds good. The word "settee" is not common in some regions but is understandable.
9. "...in THE school competition" or "...in A school competition", depending on whether you think the listener already knows about the specific competition. For the second sentence, "At the end, she was panting heavily" if this happened in the past, or "Now she is panting heavily" if this is happening right now. "Panting quickly" is understandable but sounds a bit unusual to me.
10. This sentence is good, grammatically. My dialect would use "drowsy" instead of "dozy".
Hope this helps!
