Your sentences are correct. But You should pay attention to the future tense.When we use Chinese to express “future tense”, we should add “要、将要、打算”. Some of your sentences are not expressed exactly. e.g.:Why will you back to Shenyang? 你为什么要回沈阳?

你 为什么 不 喜欢  学习 英语? Why don’t you like to study English?

  You should say  why don't you like studying English?

to study  in chinese means: you want to …do sth.

in your sentence it means 你为什么不喜欢去学习英语!it more concern about your action rather than your emotion!
