9. She is healthy.=This is a euphemism for "fat".
She is plus-sized/Rubenesque/full-figured. (If someone is described this way it probably means they are fat.)
10. どっちかというと〜のほうです。
10. She/He is on the ~ side.
If you use this expression you should fill in the ~ with an adjective. For example,
She is on the heavy side., He is a little on the tall side.
This sentence is usually only used for negative adjectives, but if it used with a positive adjective (like "tall") it meas someone is TOO tall.
11. Do you have any trouble falling asleep? (Is not equal to: Do you have any trouble sleeping.)
12. My computer is broken. What should I do?

You should (get / have) it (fixed / repaired).
