I am walking in the park right now. I called my mother, but she is sleeping. I asked my friend to go to the park with me, but he is working on the car. I waited for my sister to come with me, but she is finishing her homework. I talked to my brother about joining me in the park, but he is packing his suitcase. Bored, I walked home from the park.

    Your pronunciation is great. I'm sure you know this already. I listened to your reading several times to try to find something that might be of interest to you,and ,really, to my ear only a few sounds distinguish you from a native speaker. The "short i" sound you pronounce perfectly when it is followed by a harsh sound like "t" like "it"& "hospital". To my ear these were close to perfect. On the other hand when "i" follows a softer consonant like the "m" in "minutes" it starts to sound a little like the "ee" sound in "fifteen" rather than your "i" sound in the words I mentioned above. Your pronunciation of "y" when the y-word starts the sentence is perfection. Whereas in the middle of the sentence , with the words linked together,( your skin...) there was the faint sound of a "J" as in New Jersey. Finally, I think you would rarely here a native speaker accent the second syllable of the numbers 13 through 19 when followed by minutes,hours,days etc. for emphasis unless it occurred at the end of a sentence (she was only fifteen!) In the above reading you would stress "only" for emphasis usually. I hope you find these comments of some interest. With regards, Ricardo
