Good job, great effort! However,a few points to go over.

Line 1: figuring out – “fi” sounds like “fri”, the position of tongue was too high, seems to be too early to prepare for the third syllable “ring”.

Line 3&4: “v” in both “whatever” was not pronounced clearly enough. Please compare with “universe” in line 9 (neat and perfect).

Line 4: Whatever you can do => pause (as if there was a comma behind “do”) => to do that will help you to literally ("rally" missed out) attract it. XYFY mentioned her question about this sentence, apparently she is not alone. If the author had put a comma behind the first “do” or replaced “to do” by “doing”, it would be easier to comprehend.

Line 5: inspired => While pronouncing the second “i[ai]”, your jaw was not low enough and the mouth was too round.

Line 6: You certainly shouldn’t be(missed out) going, “Well,……., but man(needs more stress to better highlight the actual reluctance or unwillingness) I hate that”

Line 7: “v” in “universe” and “deliver”, the same problem as “whatever”. Please just forgive my picky ears. You know how to pronounce “v” correctly, however, your execution is just not consistent.

In the last paragraph, all the “ s, there” should be handled differently. Frankly, fluency is one of the basic requirements of a good reading, and proper liaison can contribute a lot, but don’t overdo it. In this case, though all “is” are short and small, they are a very important part of those sentences, namely, predicate. What is more, the tongue position of “th” is totally different from the one of “s”, therefore I don’t think liaison is a good idea.

Again, on the whole, a very good job, and many thanks for the effort.
