Hi, Daiel Kovcs!
If we were to answer your questions directly without you knowing why the answers were correct, how would that be helping you to learn?
How about you answer the questions first and explain why you think that the answers that you give are correct. If you do that, you'll be likely to have someone come along who'll be willing to discuss with you why your answers are correct or not. It would be better for your learning if you did things that way.
I would also like to refer you to the following link concerning how to ask homework questions on this site.

Hi guy I need to ask some questions
Hello Daniel !
1. All matter is made of particles?
Most "normal" matter is based on atoms . And what do atoms consist of?? So??
2.The particles of matter are in motion?
As the previous question : Most matter is based on atoms.
Is an atom in motion or not? (See : temperature). So??
3.Cooling speeds up the motion of the particles?
What do we mean with temperature? So??
4.In a gas, particles all move in the same direction?
What happens in a gas? Think about an inflated balloon and why it a "sphere". So??
5.The spaces between the particles get larger as the matter is heated?
Again : think about inflating a ballloon or a tyre : what happens when you pump. So??
6.As matter is cooled, the particles shrink?
As cooling is the opposite of heating up, it is the reversed action.
Note the text of question 5 precisely : what is getting larger (or not). So??
