Some sentences

These days I learned some new words but I do not how to apply them to practice, so I wrote some sentences. If you find some time to read them and correct them, I will be very thankful.

Back off

Mike never backs off in the competitions. He always wins.

Good. "Back off" is usually used in competitive/argumentative contexts.

Back away

I was going down the street and suddenly a big angry dog jumped out of the bushes and run up to me. It growled and barked at me. I backed away but it came closer and attacked me. The dog bit me on the leg. I barely could dun away from that place.

Good sentences. Saying "it went closer" is perfectly acceptable, but "came closer" sounds more natural.

Be back

I'll let you know when I am back.

Very common phrase--this would be a good one to memorize. In many places in America, I know, it's even common to use the informal "get back". Example: "I'll let you know when I get back."

Be off

I'm off the work today because I have done already what the boss asked me to do.
You can either say "I'm off work today because..." or "I'm off of work today because..." Either way, don't include "the"

Smash in

A rushing mighty wind smashed in the room and crashed a beautiful vase that was on a windowsill.

Um, I'm not sure that this is a very common phrase to use. What you have isn't technically wrong , but "smash" tends to be used more physically. To describe a fight, "Joe smashed his enemy into the wall," for example. The wind "smashing" a vase isn't very physical and therefore sounds awkward.

Swarm

A swarm of mosquitoes flew into a barn.
A swarm of people went out to protest against a law.
A swarm of people expressed their resentment with the new rulers of the country.
The horses galloped away, leaving after themselves a swarms of dust.

Try "a cloud of dust" or even "a trail of dust". Swarm, in my mind, applies to living things: mosquitoes or people. I hear the word most commonly associated with pests. For instance, "a swarm of flies," "a swarm of gnats," "a swarm of mosquitoes".

When shops announced 90% sale, people swarmed to buy everything they can.

This is correct but implies a slight negative connotation. In my opinion, the sentence is still VERY ACCEPTABLE to hear in an everyday conversation, but it does gently imply that the people were crazy or obnoxious in trying to buy everything they can. If you're looking for a more neutral word, try saying "people flocked to buy everything they can".

A chain of supermarkets in Germany had to lay off workers to get over its bankruptcy.

Nasty

What a nasty smell? It's seems like a cat died here.
