I've noticed people tend to avoid hard questions! This is Academic writing, and can be pretty daunting for even native speakers! Personally, I would say the second sounds best, overall. "Test of Oral Proficiency in English" sounds best, but if the test has a specific name (I'm not aware of what the acronym "TEPOLI" stands for), since this is academic writing, you should use that specific name, Let me know if that helps!

Hey! What he means by that is that this persons home has been destroyed or damaged in some way. Basically, due to the damages or changes, it's less than what it was before. Like if your house got burned down in a fire, the ashes would be "what's left of it"

When you make a light-hearted joke, you make it playfully. It's typically not serious. Another use would be saying something light-heartedly. You mean it, but there's an air of relaxation around it.

The meaning of "afterclap" is when something disastrous occurs after the initial disaster. In the way you've used it, it's indicative of someone coming in and causing a mess or disaster when everyone thought it was over. Although, I'd say something closer to "I've/they've caused an afterclap." Jerry is right, though. No one uses this word anymore. You may hear it referencing a natural disaster (mostly commonly earthquakes) but that's about it!

Oh I love this! It's similar to "all bark, no bite" Basically, this person (presumably a male) talks quite a lot about how great/brave/daring they are but they have never proven it! So if someone says to you all the time that they totally go jumping off cliffs into the water all the time for fun, but never shows pictures or doesn't do so when you guys go swimming together, you'd say they are all talk but they aren't really brave like they say... so they don't really wear the trousers XD (Trousers are typically referred to in British culture as a manly thing... like "she wears the trousers in their house." could be equated to "she's the man of the house")

Okay! I'll go down the list haha. I find them really cute together, I don't really mind if it's in a friendly way or romantic way. Or I find them really cute together, I don't really mind if it's as friends or romantically. If you want to say something, you're free to. Thank you so much for your hard work adding the subtitles. 4 is -technically- correct but I'd say "Thank you for reading this." It's a bit more natural. Or "thank you for your time." 5b is the correct sentence~ #6 No "the" is needed. Is this the answer to the previous question? Overall, if that is the case, I'd say it would make more sense to say "That (as in the voice we just heard) had to have been..." Or "That has to be..."

If you have a Steam account, I downloaded a game called "Influent" that is basically just walking around the room/house and checking out all the things you find! It helped me a bit with learning Japanese vocab that I could then apply to my sentence structures. Gotta start somewhere!

In the example, it means dirty or untidy, like mentioned abouve, however, it can also mean agitated, tense or upset. Think of it as seeing someone dirty or frustrated and commenting on how/what they are. A "state" of being something. ^^ Hope that helps!
