    Very good reading.  However you could improve it by saying the final 't' sound in words more clearly and by speaking ore slowly.  Words like 'Liberty' and 'Artists' need a final 't' sound.  Listen to my recording.

    Thank you dpike for pointing out my mistakes. I think I spoke a little bit too fast which made those words especially "liberty" and "artists" sounded unclear, in this case losing the "t" sound. Your recording does indeed helped me. :)

    Here's my revision. :)
