1) Do you mind if I make a phone call?
Yes, I do. (Is it possible)<~~If the answer is "yes" in any form, then that answer is saying, "I mind. Don't make the call."
I'd rather you didn't. I'd prefer you not to. <~~These two responses are saying, "Sure, go ahead and make the call."
2) OK
3) I'm happy about the presents (with, for the presents are wrong?). You can say "with" or "about" but "for" isn't used correctly.
4)I'm content/satisfied/pleased with my scholastic achievements.
I'm glad (pleased, happy) you passed your exam. All choices are fine.
5) If there is an earthquake, you should stay calm.
6) If you are inside (indoors), you have to get under a desk or a table or stand in a doorway. You also have to move away from electrical equipment because those things may start a fire. Note the changes in the last 8 words.
7) OK
I still have a few questions on how to ask for permission. Thank you.
