Gut! You seem to be having difficulty with the ä sound. Listen to the recordings made by the other reviewers.
Mädchen
lächelt
arbeitet, arbeiten (pay attention to where to put the stress on these words)
Gebäude
stehe
rennt (be careful of the r !)
If I am not sure how to pronounce words in an exercise, I often try to find someone else who has done the same one. Sometimes, when I listen to others speaking the same words, it helps me.
Good luck!
