44 words, aim for 17–20 seconds. No numbers. Breathe after the first research (…together in research) and after setting; the final sentence then runs with just a short pause after experience.

Where marks are usually lost

Stress: or·gan·i·ZA·tions on the fourth syllable, op·por·TU·ni·ty and ac·a·DEM·ics on the third, ex·PE·ri·ence, ex·TER·nal, to·GETH·er on the second. Dropping -s in scholarships, organizations, academics, students, researchers. Hesitating before globally recognized.

General tip: research appears three times — keep it the same each time, and make researchers clearly longer with its -ers ending.
