Natural
To improve your pronunciation, sing songs in English and listen movies or that kind of stuff in Original Version. Pay attention, it changes if it's british or american accent! It helps :)

A little unnatural
Really just too fast, you can slow down a bit. It won't hurt. Also belief sounded like blief to me. I personally say it like buh-leaf but maybe it's just me and I can't hear it. While and A merged a bit, which makes it a little bit unnatural. And in Actually, I didn't hear the eeee sound at the end. Might just be accent so pretty good in general.

I know a lot of exchange students who have trouble with the 'th' sound and replace it with a 'de' or 'te' so I reccomend practicing the 'th' sound a lot (also don't be afraid to speak slower, but you're doing well) ask if you need anything !

You did great considering you were on a ten second limit but just work on the enunciation of each word.
I know the "L", and "R" can get mixed up and "th" is difficult but practice listening to native speakers.
Other than that you're doing great. ^-^
