06. I have to leave.

      I have to leave because I have many things to do.

**This one is grammatically fine, but a bit formal. 

You could say:

I have to leave now, I have lots to do.

07. He is traveling.

      He is traveling and he only arrives next week.

**Needs a bit of work.

You could say:

He is travelling and will arrive next week.

08. I would like to try.

      I would like to try to sell my vacation at least once.

** The reader is going to assume you are trying to sell a vacation you have planned for yourself. This doesn't really make sense. 

You could say:

I would like to try selling vacation packages just once to see if I like it.

I would like to become a travel agent and try selling vacation packages.

09. I start working at 8:00 a.m.

      I start working at 8:00 a.m. and I only leave at 1:00 p.m.

10. He finished reading.

      He finished reading the book 3 and he will start the book 4.

**Again, almost, just needs a bit of an adjustment.

You could say:

He finished reading book three and will start book four. 

He finished reading the third book and will start the fourth book. 

Answer 2

06. Is correct

07. ..."He will arrive next".

08. Not correct. And I don't understand,"sell my vacation". Are you speaking of a travel agent selling vacation packages.
