My pronounation
Hello, My name is Maryam, I'm from Russia and right now I'm working on my pronunciation in.english .I would like to ask you for your assistance. Could you check whether I pronounce all the sounds correctly and give me WRITTEN recommendations on how to improve my pronunciation.
Please, write down all my strong and weak points in pronunciation . so I could analyze and practice them later.
Thanks a lot!
I read this text:
When he emerges from the bathroom she is awake, propped up against the pillows and flicking through the travel brochures that were beside his bed. She is wearing one of his T-shirts, and her long hair is tousled in a way that prompts reflexive thoughts of the previous night. He stands there, enjoying the brief flashback, rubbing the water from his hair with a towel.
She looks up from a brochure and pouts. She is probably slightly too old to pout, but they’ve been going out a short enough time for it still to be cute.
‘Do we really have to do something that involves trekking up mountains, or hanging over ravines? It’s our first proper holiday together, and there is literally not one single trip in these that doesn’t involve either throwing yourself off something or –’ she pretends to shudder ‘– wearing fleece.

Good job! A few words to be careful about:
prop = /präp/ - more of a long "a" sound
tousle = /'touzəl/
cute = /kyo͞ot/ - more of a "oo" sound. and a hard k
enough = /iˈnəf/ - make sure the emphasis is on "nəf" and ends the word with a 'f' sound
ravines =/rəˈvēn/ - accent is on the "ˈvēn" part
either = /ēT͟Hər/ - this is a hard "th" sound and the accent is on first syllable
shudder = /ˈSHədər/ - not really a "u" sound. It is more of 'ə" sound. Opening your mouth.
Anyways, we can do a quick skype if you want some corrections in person.
