Do your best to say the words the way the speaker says them. If you are learning American English, imitate her pronunciation the best you can.
Don’t worry if you have an accent. The most important thing is that people can understand you. Practice the vowel sounds and learn the stress patterns in each word.
Here we go! Do your best.
