Hi I am currently learning Japanese and I have a workbook that is helping me learn it. I need some translation help with the following sentences:

1. かばん/ポケットの中に何が入っていますか。
Is it "What contains in your bag or pocket?"

2. 友だちがおちこんでいる時、何をしてあげますか。

3. とんな町に住みたいですか。

4. 今日の朝、おきてから何をしましたか。
Is it "What did you do since this morning?"

5. どの国に行って何をしてみたいですか。
Is it " Which country would you like to go?"

6. どんな時、きんちょうしますか。

7. ふゆ休みに何をしようと思っていますか。
I think it means "What are you thinking about doing for winter break?"

8.旅行の前にどんなことをしておきますか。

9. 子供の時、どんなことができませんでしたか。

10. ドラえもんがいたら、何をしてもらいたいですか。
Is it "If you were Doraemon, what would you want to do?"

Thank you for all the help!

What part can't you understand?
 
I'll try and tackle one, but try to be a little more specific about what's giving you trouble in the future. No one wants to go though explaining every part of each sentence to you, so you need to show what you know and what you don't. Pinpointing your trouble spots is useful for you and the person helping you. Being spoonfed a translation doesn't really help your skills. It's clear you're new, so welcome. I'm pretty new myself.

2. 友だちがおちこんでいる時、何をしてあげますか。
"When your friends are sad, what do you do for them?"

友だち - friend
おちこむ - to be sad
時 - time
何 - what
してあげる - do for someone. This is actually a combo of する (てform) - to do and あげる- to give to someone. Look up "~てあげる" and you'll understand it.

3. とんな町に住みたいですか。
"What kind of city to you want to live in?"

どんな - what kind of
町 - city
住む - to reside (live somewhere)

Probably what's giving you trouble is the verb conjugation. When you add "tai desu" to verbs it expresses the desire to do something. So...
住む -> 住みたい
To reside -> To want to reside
