    Not bad, but you should practice saying 'sweeping'. It sounded like you said 'swapping'. And also 'shears' sounded more like 'chairs'. Apart from those two mistakes, it was good.

    Some of your pronunciations are perfect and others are not. I left an audio for you to hear, especially the pronunciation of 'holes'. I hope it is helpful.

    Dear Leia,  There were enough differences between how you read and how I read to make me record the essay:
