It is clear and easy to understand. As already noted, "raining" sounded like "ringing"

The other three that sounded a little different:

learnt (sounded like "lent") - don't pronounce the 'e' at all, just "lrnt"
short (sounded like "shot") - long vowels are typically dipthongs, sh-uh-oo-r-t
over (sounded like "ower") - produce 'v' from the throat

Otherwise, it sounded like you spoke quite naturally.

Really good job on those words, LY - "short" was spot on! The two I noticed in this one were...

give - maybe accent the 'g' and 'v' a little more, not sure

thank (sounded like "sank") - 'th' instead of 'ts'

@डैन Thank you for listening and giving me the precious advice. I listened "learnt", "short", "over" many times after you gave me the advice. I tried my best to imitate the accurate pronounciation. I hope I have gotten the key point.

 I understood fairly easily :). However, you should practice the word "raining", it sounds like you are saying "ringing".

 Raining is much better. Short is completely fixed. You say it with a lot of confidence the second time:)

Your v's still need a little work.

Note that in English, "learned" and "learnt" are both acceptable, and have the same meaning. What you say sounds like the correct pronunciation of "learned".
