Looks good to me. The only thing I can see that might look a little odd to me is 5 in the second sentence where the Japanese is 食べました and the English translation is "I was having Russian food". Which is past progressive as opposed to just past tense. It's correct as is but not sure how you taught your students the difference between past and past progressive.
 
Thanks for the help, OoTmaster. 私は食べていました should be "I was having ...", which means "I was in the act of eating", while "食べました" is "ate". Am I wrong?

How about this instead?
⑤昨日あなたが私の家に来たとき、私はロシア料理(Russian food)を食べていました。
When you came (over) to my house(/place), I was having Russian food.

This could be "has had" aswell, could it not?
 
Micael2, you're right. But probably my students will not write it. If someone write it, I'll consider it as correct.
