10. The conductor announces the names of individual stations by using the Public Adress system before arrival at each station.
11. The railways *are* the most convenient means of travel in the area of major cities, since they are the most punctual.
12. Trains have air-conditioners in their ceilings, and heaters under the seats.
13. For light, the train uses fluorescent lights.
14. Many kinds of posters for advertisement are *hung* from the ceiling and *pinned* on the wall.
15. The seats face each other on the left and right.
16. The trains don’t have toilets.
17. The railroad network covers all of Tokyo, so cars are not needed.
Is that helpful?

homework?
10. sounds right to me.
11. do you mean multiple railways (trains)? then it would be "are most convenient"–plural. However, I think some people use "railways" in a different way than Americans would–we would say subway or train; but this is cultural usage and would be correct.
12. correct.
13. correct.
14. are the posters currently "hanging" from the ceiling? or have they hung? Hanged is apparently only used in the case of a death sentence–though I personally always say hung, never hanged. I would say that "There are many…", but I’m not sure if what you have is incorrect.
15. "confront"– this is probably the wrong word. This is generally used in a battle situation "the two generals confront each other".
16. either "a" single toilet or pluralize "toilets"
17. same as above for the car–either "a" car or plural "cars"
All in all you did very well 
. If you were speaking there would probably not be any mis-communications (except for the confront–maybe "continue" is the word you mean? Like you’d just entered the train and you looked left and right and saw the seats continuing in both directions?)
10. The conductor advises the names of each station via an internal broadcast system.
11. The railroad is the most convenient way to travel in and around major cities since it is punctual.

15. The seats are on the left and right of the center aisle.
16. The trains don’t have any toilets.
17. The railroad network runs all over Tokyo, so we don’t need a car.
