The following example:
"There´s a lot of bots working at Wikipedia, but they can´t do everything."

would be better if written as:
There are a lot of bots working at Wikipedia, but they can´t do everything.

The following example:
"Today the air outside is very clean, but it is going to get worse about 10 hours p.m."

was corrected in my recording. English does not use "hours" in the time. Also, you need "at" before the time.
So I read it as:
"Today the air outside is very clean, but it is going to get worse at about 10 p.m."

One more comment. The example:
"There was a red car and I was a person in it reading a book."
is very strange. Not grammatically incorrect, just strange.

I agree with Keith's comments. Perhaps a better way of putting the red car example would be...

"I was in a red car reading a book."

Thank you so much for the recordings!
In the example with the red car, it was a typing error, sorry, it should be "There was a red car and I saw a person in it reading a book."
Thank you for the recordings again and have a nice day.
