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."

England is a country that is part of the United Kingdom. It shares land borders with Scotland to the north and Wales to the west. The Irish Sea lies northwest of England and the Celtic Sea lies to the southwest. England is separated from continental Europe by the North Sea to the east and the English Channel to the south. The country covers five-eighths of the island of Great Britain (which lies in the North Atlantic) in its centre and south, and includes over 100 smaller named islands such as the Isles of Scilly and the Isle of Wight.

 The first authoritative and full featured English dictionary, the Dictionary of the English Language, was published by Samuel Johnson in 1755. To a high degree, the dictionary standardised both English spelling and word usage. Meanwhile, grammar texts by Robert Lowth, Lindley Murray, Joseph Priestly, and others attempted to prescribe standard usage even further.
