✓ What worked
Good opening — you started with a concrete action rather than a vague feeling.
Steady pace throughout. You didn't rush when you reached the main point.
⚠ What to fix
Used "basically" 3 times and "you know" once. Target: zero in your retry.
Final sentence trailed off. End with a complete, confident statement.
✦ Try saying it like this
"When I feel nervous before an interview, I focus on preparation. I remind myself that I know the answers — I just need to express them clearly. One technique I use is taking a slow breath before I start speaking. It slows my mind and keeps fillers away."
