Hello Ling Xia,
Thanks for sharing your speech with us. I didn't have time to review all your recordings, but here are some insights:
1. You're Chinese, right? Overall your pronunciation is very good, I couldn't easily tell where you from by just hearing you speak;
2. Pay attention to word endings, it looks like you have some problems with words ending with T, like gift, housemates, desserts. You are not pronouncing it clearly.
3. I hid the cake (not "hidden");
4. I told her (not "told TO her");
5. films... watching them (not "watching IT");
I wouldn't dare to give you a score, as I also struggle to tell the differences between bands. Keep up with the good work!

Hi, lingxia,
Thanks so much for sharing your recording with us. What a thoughtful gift!
I think willhunting hit upon some important areas for you to improve, so I’m just going to add a few thoughts of my own. These notes are for the first recording about the gift you took a long time to choose.
Grammar/Vocabulary:
--Tooks me long time to choose
--I really want – I really wanted (Be sure to use past tense when you’re telling a story.)
--Jewelries – jewelry (non-count noun – You can say “pieces of jewelry.”
--Were out of my option – were not an option for me
--One of the best cake – CAKES
--I google online – I googled online
--Finally, in the party – AT the party
--She was very touching and surprised – she was very touched and surprised
Pronunciation:
--Invited – didn’t say v
--Watch the /th/ sound – grandmother/together
Best wishes as you continue to practice!

Here are some notes on the recording on films and spending time alone:
--Watching it – (films) THEM
--Child – pronounce D at the end of the word
--I used to go to cinema once a month – to go to THE cinema
--Too much friends – too MANY friends
--It depends on the situations – on the SITUATION
--I will hope – I WOULD hope
--To go outside for dinner – to GO OUT FOR dinner
--Repetition of “I will/would hope”
--If it is just one day trip, I probably just go by myself – If it is just A day trip, I WOULD probably just go by myself.
--So that we can share the accommodation – accommodationS

You had a nice introduction to this answer. Well done.
Here are some notes on the last recording about the differences between males and females when they give gifts:
--They are the one - ONES
-- Buy gift to the other – buy A gift for ANOTHER PERSON/SOMEONE
--Men and women different when choosing gifts – ARE different
--If she have no interest in such things – if she HAS
-- Affordable to us – affordable FOR us
-- Too much weight in – too much weight ON
--On the person who give us the – GAVE (for past tense)/GIVES (present tense)
