Birm Plym Female student monologue EJDD

Female student studying at Brighton University in England talks about the rural village off the south coast of England she comes from called Hamborn. She doesn't like the recent overdevelopment of houses and road congestion. She refers to herself as a "country girl", who doesn't like big cities like London. Ends by saying she thinks political ideals are important in general, but aren't so important to her personally - though she acknowledges the impact they have a one's life. She's more interested in the here and now and says, "What I can see is more important. The physical things."

Dialects and accents vary amongst the four countries of the United Kingdom, as well as within the countries themselves.

The major divisions are normally classified as English English (or English as spoken in England, which encompasses Southern English dialects, West Country dialects, East and West Midlands English dialects and Northern English dialects), Ulster English in Northern Ireland, Welsh English (not to be confused with the Welsh language), and Scottish English (not to be confused with the Scots language). The various British dialects also differ in the words that they have borrowed from other languages. Around the middle of the 15th century, there were points where within the 5 major dialects there were almost 500 ways to spell the word though.
