Hi,

Are the following sentences natural to native ear?

1. Let me give you a lay up of this situation
1. Let me give you the low down (on the situation) is a very casual phrase that is used sometimes. It means to give a quick/concise/truthful summary, or a full disclosure. I would consider it slang and would not use it personally.

2. Can you give me a chance to prove my suitability for the position?

3. Analyzing world political trends and writing assessments is part of my daily job.

This would be correct if it was in the context of speaking about your job. If you were not speaking about your job, it could mean that it was part of your home daily routine. Most people would assume that you are speaking about a daily routine at your job but you should use context (or daily job) to be clear.
