Note to recorder:

American/Australian female accent with Natural speed please! Thank you so much ^^

1. Do you have a talent , or something you are good at ?
Well , yes , I consider myself a good cook . Living in the dormitory during my college years has helped me develop such an invaluable skill . I also inherit it from my mother who always cooks delicious meals for the family

2. Do you have a talent or something you are good at?
Yes. I think I have a knack for singing. Ever since I was a kid, I’ve performed in many shows and school events. Moreover, I’m quite good at math, I can do mental calculations quickly and precisely and I used to have a pretty good score in Mathematics.

3. Was it mastered recently or when you were young?
Well, I don’t think I would ever master it but I guess I’ve always been really musical. My mom – noticing my passion for music – signed me up for singing classes when I was 3. These classes provided me with a real leg up to hone my skill in singing. Regarding my arithmetic ability, I have to say that it comes pretty naturally to me since I’ve never taken any classes for mental calculations.

4. Do you think your talent can be useful for your future work? Why?
Yes sure, singing can be used to earn a living if I am devoted to being a singer or it can be useful for family and company gatherings. Also, the value of mental arithmetic is quite apparent when I need to add up bills or do complex calculations. Basically, it makes life so much easier.

5. Do you think anyone in your family has the same talent?
I must say I have a talented family. My mom and my aunt are singers while my dad is a math teacher. I’m pretty sure that I’ve inherited all my abilities from my family members.

I added the inflections to match the way you put some more casual speaking wording in your questions and answers. I'm not sure if that's exactly what you meant by natural.
