读的不错。 不过， 我来挑点刺吧。

Here I list some of the words I feel you may have mis-pronounced:

1. In the 1st sentence, the "s" in "phase" should have the "z" rather than "s" sound and the "o" in "Bolivarian" should have the "601;" sound.

2. In the 2nd sentence, for the word "dissent", the stress should be on the 2nd syllable.

3. In the 3rd sentence, the "e" in "democracy" should have the "618;" rather than "603;" sound and the "o" in "bishop" should have the "601;" rather than the "594;" sound.

4. the word "defend" in the 3rd paragraph sounds a little off.

It is getting late, maybe I'll pick up my 2 cents later.
