Questions about pronunciations of words

I recorded my pronunciation for seven words in order: point, fork, egg, bind, find, balance , kid

Could you somebody please give me some feedback on this audio? Native speakers have problems understanding what I'm saying, and those seven words are just some of those words

The recording quality is not great, so it's hard to clearly hear what you're saying. This is what I hear: Word #1: I missed completely. Word #2: frog/frock?

The recording quality is not great, so it's hard to clearly hear what you're saying.

This is what I hear:


Word #1: I missed completely.
Word #2: frog/frock? Try to differentiate the last sound.
Word #3: egg/ache? Note that, apart from the difference between the /g/ in "egg" and the /k/ in "ache", "egg" is shorter than "ache".
Word #4: bike.
Word #5: fight.
