4. him改为himself。代词错误, 根据文意应为“自称是”。
3. interested后加in。介词错误。be interested in是固定词组。
2. month改为months。名词单复数错误。several修饰可数名词复数形式。
1. 删去the。冠词错误。finish school意为“完成学业, 毕业”, school为抽象名词, 前不加冠词。
10. 删去to。当不定式作make的宾语补足语时, 应省略to。

答案及解析
9. make改为makes。此处make应与主语第三人称单数the sun保持一致。

7. by改为in。in the fastest rocket为固定用法, 表示具体的运输工具。
6. spend改为take。take应由物作主语, 表示时间或金钱的花费, 而spend则通常用人作主语。
