Describe a book you recently read that you would like to read again.
You should say:
what the book was about
why you read it
what you learned from this book
and explain why you would like to read it again.

Hi, Eleesi0510,
Thanks so much for sharing about the Ernest Hemingway biography you read. He certainly led an interesting life!
I would first say that you used some good vocabulary words, like instilled (although you used the wrong preposition after it – it should be instilled IN), acquainted, and hesitation.
Pronunciation is an area on which to focus your efforts. It will make you more understandable to the listener. In particular, I noticed that you need to focus more on saying the /r/ sound. You missed this sound when you said VERY and WRITER. Also, the /oo/ sound in the word BOOK does not sound like it does in the word STOOL. The sound in GOOD, BOOK, LOOK, etc. requires you to round your lips just a little, raise your tongue in the back so that the sides of it touch the upper sides of your mouth. Keep your tongue relaxed.
Your speech would also benefit from using some transition and connecting words to help the listener follow your ideas. Words like FIRST, IN ADDITION, ALSO, and FINALLY will help you move smoothly from one point to the other.
Keep up the good work as you practice!
