(3) With his terrible performance during his initial month, many people have started to doubt that the new president is up to his job requirements.

eat out of person's hand　という熟語は現在よく使われているのかどうかわかりませんが、辞書にはでていますので、それを使っての受験英語的な訳は、

In no less than two minutes after she entered the classroom, the teacher had her students eat out of her hand.

くらいになると思いますが、このようなシチュエーションで「2分」という表現は英語ではあまりしないと思いますし、内容的に「意のままに動かし始めた」と解釈し、且つ私の英語の語感からは下記のような表現ではどうかと思います。


She started to manage her students immediately after she entered the classroom.

She needed only a couple of minutes to start twisting her students around her finger after she walked in the classroom.

なお、「子供たち」は内容からして「生徒」でしょう。また、生徒は少なくとも米国ではpupilsでなくstudentsと言っていると思います。

・・・

put it down to　の使い方はここでは思いつきませんが put it downを使って、

As(Because）ｙou(ｗe) cannot do anything about it now, you(we) had better put it down as a good experience. または、 ... down as you(we) have had a good experience　とか ... down as we have learned a lot.

あたりが、受験英語的訳でしょうか.　が、下記あたりどうでしょう。

We cannot do anything about it now. So, let's think we have experinced
something worthwhile (we have learned a lot).

...

Learning his poor performance in the first month in office, many people begin to doubt if the new president can live up to his role.

あたりでどうでしょうか。

...

受験英語的に、

In an attempt to take the law into his own hands, he shot the driver who run down his child by truck.

撃って、弾が当たったんだからattenmptを使うと当たらなかったということになろうから、受験臭さ（？）も少しとって、

He took the law into his own hands to shot the driver ...

少し離れて,その熟語にこだわらず、

He shot the driver who run down his child(sonかdaughterのほうがいいと思う）by truck in an unlawful conduct of punishment.

力点のおき方によって後半を頭にし、

In an unlawful conduct of punishment、he shot ...

また、

He unlawfully punished the driver ... by shooting him.

などではどうでしょう。
