    Your speech is very comprehensive and well organized. 100% clearly understood. I notice the relative polish of the content, and it's free of hesitation. This leads me to believe you're reading off a script you have written ahead of time, as opposed to composing it on-the-fly as you speak. I actually recommend doing it that way. Even the best of *native speakers* should, in my opinion. Otherwise, the result is invariably disorganized and hard to understand. The whole point of the exercise is speaking, not testing your spontaneous speech composition skills. You did an excellet job! Some minor corrections and suggestions: "I do not do often sports" -> "I don't participate in sports much." Careful with the "v" sound in "favorite", don't say it as "f". Also "r" in "railway", where you pronounced "rail" as "well". Well done!
