Prepositions
1. The kiosk is on/ at the corner of these two streets.
I would use "at" here, but not all natives would agree.
Tears appeared in the corner of his eye.
There were faint lines on / at the corner of his right eye.
"On" doesn't work here because the lines are not actually on one specific point, they branch out in that general area.
2. He never sits in the back of the bus or stands in the middle where the two parts of an articulated bus are joined togegther withby a turntable.
This sentence is generally fine, but it feels a bit long and unwieldy.
3. My bamboo bag is A4 paper size.
4. Look in/at the back/ at the reverse side / at the flip side of the parking ticket.
"Look in" is incorrect here. "Reverse side" is fine, but "back" is more common.

Both are fine, but they are asking slightly different things. If someone asked "kind" in singular, I would probably answer with my most favorite kind. If they asked in plural, I would probably give a few kinds that I like.
9. I clicked on the "listen" symbol, but it's not working ( or doesn't work).
Children were playing on that street.
(or in that street?) There's a nice restaurant ion that street?
If you say that children were playing on the street, that means that they were playing in that general area. If you say they were playing in the street, that means that they were playing in the middle of the road.
