Answer 2

1) Don't disturb the cashier. She is counting the money.

2) I'm in a hurry. Boris is waiting for me. Where is he waiting? He always waits for me near the underground station.

3) My hair is growing very fast and I usually cut it every month.

In the first sentence, we use the present continuous form "is counting" because the action of counting the money is happening at the moment of speaking.

In the second sentence, we use the present continuous form "is waiting" because Boris is waiting for the speaker at the moment of speaking.

In the third sentence, we use the present continuous form "is growing" to describe the ongoing action of the hair growing, and we use the present simple form "cut" to describe the regular action of cutting the hair every month.
