I'm suppose to look at pictures and just make comments about them ( on them ), so I just need to know if I am on the right track with my sentences.

Picture 1 is a Watch:
その時計は高いですね。 - Trying to say "That watch is expensive."
Picture 2 is a Hotel:
ホテルはやすいです。 - Trying to say "The hotel is cheap."
Picture 3 is a city:
それまちはいそがしいです。 - Trying to say "The town is busy."

Next is describe the people based on the title given:
Girl 1: [Kind]: メアリーさんはやさしいです。
Girl 2: [Beautiful]: スーは美しいです。
Guy 1: [Interesting]: ロバートさんは人おもしろいです。
Guy 2: [Energetic]: Need help on this one, the word I learnt was げんきな。 but when I put the sentence together it doesn't seem right.

Next is make 3 questions:
1.どんなスポーツがすきですか。
2.どんなおんがくがすきですか
3.どんなのみものがすきですか。

Create a ましょう sentence.
1. うちにかえりましょう。 - Lets return to the house

Questions to ask a partner ( I don't have one so i'm just going to pretend. )
They write the question in English and I have to translate them to Japanese.
1. Were you busy last week?
先週はいそがしかったですか。
2. Were you fine last week?
あなたはせんしゅうにだいじょうぶでしたか。
3. Is your bag new?
かばんあたらしいですか。
4. Is your room small?
部屋はちいさいですか。
5. Was your high school big?
こうこうはおおきいですか。

Thanks, hope you guys are able to tell me where my mistakes are, I'm posting more often so that I can quickly improve before advancing to chapter 6.
 
Review それ vs その
Watch verb tense
Watch dropped particles
Adjectives precede the nouns they modify

can you explain more what you mean, I went back and re-read it but I feel like im missing what your telling me :S. As for Sore and sono I re-read this Kore/Kono, Sore/Sono and Are/Ano and Adjectives precede the nouns I understand those .

I haven't changed anything since I'm on mobile.
 
I'm also participating via a mobile device, which makes formatting individual remarks for each bit of a long post prohibitively difficult. So I'll have to ask you to understand if my replies might sometimes appear cryptic or brusque.

Guy 1: : ロバートさんは人おもしろいです。
Guy 2: : Need help on this one, the word I learnt was げんきな。 but when I put the sentence together it doesn't seem right.

人 is a noun
おもしろい and げんきな are adjectives

Picture 3 is a city:
それまちはいそがしいです。 - Trying to say "The town is busy."

Why それまち instead of そのまち ?

Yup


Why それまち instead of そのまち ?
I think the correct way of saying it is そのまち.
 
Good. Now how about the other thing?
Should this かばんあたらしいですか。be -> そのかばんはあたらしいですか。
Should this ロバートさんは人おもしろいです。 be -> ロバートさんはおもしろい人です。
Guy 2: たけしさんは元気な人です。

I'm confused on how to say "Was your high school big?" my way was wrong and I'm trying to type my translation in google since I have noone to practice with it's frustrating me because it's not right, I don't know what to do and what I need to practice on to get this stuff down, I might just start from the first grammar lesson again and see if I understand things better.
 
I was told it means "everything is alright"

So Robert is an everything is alright guy?

Mightn't you have げんき and だいじょうぶ confused? In usage, there is some apparent overlap, but they're actually different.

Yeah I think so, so it should be
たけしさんはせんしゅう元気でしたか。
