Did you write those sentences yourself before reading them out loud for the MP3 recording ?? If you did, bravo !
The American [r] sounds a lot more like the Mandarin [ㄦ] / [er] than the British [r] which sounds exactly the same as when you say the word "uh"
Everyone can say "Hello" like a native speaker
But can you say a whole sentence, or a whole paragraph like a native speaker ?
Native speakers have been hearing and saying whole sentences for 4+ years WITHOUT seeing words on a chalkboard in kindergarten
Adult foreign learners don't have nor need 4 years*, but they do need to imitate a native speaker's voice, and do so diligently
* Yes, I am saying "from the ground up" is NOT RIGHT for learning to speak English
"Bottom-up" might be right for learning to write English... if you can get into the habit of always re-writing WHOLE sentences 3 different ways

and hear the difference for yourself
I myself have been trying to imitate the British [r] sound I recommend you do the same

British [r] vs American [r].jpg
,
You should be careful about how you make the [ l ] sound when the letter " l " is at the end of a word like " call "
There should NOT be any " r " sound, in other words, definitely " l r "
[ l ] are NOT the same as [ r ]
Go to
https://www.oddcast.com/home/demos/tts/tts_example.php?sitepal
Select VOICE = "Jennifer {US)"
Try " seal " vs "sear"
Correction:
I meant to say "... definitely NOT "l r"

非常感谢提供的网站,我也做了一些跟读联系,可能是练得量还不够,为了准备托福总共练了有两个月。感觉从刚开始学英语,就从来没用嘴说过,基本上就是应付考试,懂点语法和单词就能拿到不错的分数了,现在想让说英语成为实际的交流工具,结果发现差距太大了。
模仿阴阳顿挫最重要, 发音 ( 注意 [ l ] / [r] / _oy [ɔɪ] 尾声 ) 次要
托福比 六级/考研 英语更切实际
