Your pronunciation is very good. I think you're Chinese. Did I guess right?

'v' and 't' sounds are a little too soft.Good pronunciation though, nice to hear a learner with a British accent than an American accent. I will also guess Chinese.

I'm not sure what you mean by judge my accent. Do you mean is what you say understandable?

Not really, I wanted to know native speaker's opinion about my accent, meaning is it a good imitation of British accent, what I have to work on, etc. Although I understand your confusion, since I haven't made myself clear

I grew up surrounded by people speaking English with a Polish accent, so I'm usually easily able to identify one. Your accent doesn't sound typically Polish, which indicates that you've done very well in your pronunciation work.

It's good, but you're reading, aren't you? Reading is less natural than speaking normally.

Yes, I am. I know but I don't think I sound any different + I wouldn't know what to talk about for this minute and a half if I wasn't reading.

Sara, you will notice that four threads consisting of "thank you" have been deleted from this page. They were all unnecessary. We have a "Thank" button on each post and you should click it in order to thank someone for their help.
Also, if you are going to write it at all, you must capitalise and punctuate it correctly. It should look like this:

Thank you.
