Pronunciation
Could you check whether I pronounce all the sounds correctly and give me some recommendations on how to improve my pronunciation? I will be very grateful for your help!
I have read this text:

Are you interested in the behaviour of people and animals? If you are, then you might enjoy the study of psychology. Psychology is the study of behaviour, but this is a very large area of study. There are several different branches of psychology, each of which studies a different aspect of behaviour.
Social psychologists study interactions among people. For example, a social psychologist might try to learn about the situations that cause people to behave aggressively. Another question studied by social psychologists is why certain people become attracted to each other. One of the interesting problems in social psychology is conformity: what causes people to behave in the same way, and to follow what others do and say?

I teach North American pronunciation. I have experience with Russian speakers.
Your pronunciation is generally good. You seem to have a mostly British pronunciation with a mild Russian accent. You will be easy to understand in a professional environment.
A few minor mispronunciations:
interested sounds like eenterested - IPA [ɪ] pronounced as a Russian [i]
might sounds like maht - IPA [aɪ] pronounced as [a]
study sounds stahdy - IPA [ʌ] pronounced as [a]
which sounds like vich - IPA [w] pronounced as a Russian [ʋ]
social sounds like soocial - IPA [oʊ] pronounced as [u]
cause sounds like causs - IPA [z] pronounced as [s]
Your stress, rhythm, and intonation are fairly natural.
Good job!

Your pronunciation is excellent, with just a few problems. I have put those words in bold

Interested - the first syllable of this word is a short i, (like the word "in") not long like "een" in "seen". Your pronuncation is between the two, but closer to "een" than "in".

Social - the first syllable is pronounced like the word "sew" here's the IPA pronunciation: ˈsoʊ·ʃəl
You can hear it here:
I
