[Help] Phonetics Transcription

Hi all!
New here.

This is for an assignment, I had to make a paragraph in IPA [ american english speaker ] and my teacher would go over it for any corrections. Wanted to post it here to make sure there weren't any glaring mistakes before I handed it in. How do you interpret my paragraph?

Thanks!
I'm posting it as a picture in case there are display problems for some users.

Hi, welcome to EnglishForward.
Well, first of all, it looks like a mess! Because it's difficult to read. I think in every standard transcription the words are always written separately (or am I wrong?)

/r?tn ð?s we?/ ...and the symbols you use depend on how strict the trascription is (phonemic or phonetic).
