I work here, at Westminster, as a political correspondent for the BBC. Pat Jolly Hello! My name is Pat Jolly. I come from Sydenham, South- East London. Buck Burns My name is Buck Burns and I live in Sneem, on the Ring of Kerry, in Southern Ireland. Steve Rogers Hello! My name is Steve Rogers and I come from Edinburgh, in Scotland. Gary (VO) In English, a person's accent says a lot about that person. We can know where that person comes from or the social class someone belongs to. Sara (VO) Jeremy Vine works as a political correspondent for the BBC. His English accent is a perfect example of the Standard English or the Queen's English. It's the type of English which some educated people speak. Jeremy Vine I speak Standard English. Some people might also call it the Queen's English. This type of English is spoken by a lot of BBC presenters. The BBC doesn't insist on any particular accent, but this kind of English is the kind you're learning. Gary (VO) Accent usually indicates the speaker's social class. A very special case is that of 'cockneys'. A cockney is a person who was born in the East End of London. Their speech is recognized not only for the accent, but also for the rhyming slang they use. Pat Jolly has some examples for you. Pat Jolly I'm a cockney, a Londoner, and we speak different. In English you say 'what's', in Cockney we say 'wa''. In English you say 'house', in Cockney we say ''ouse'. In English you say 'water', in Cockney we say 'wa'er'. We also use a rhyming slang. In English you say 'hat', in Cockney 'tit for tat'. In English you say 'shirt', in Cockney we say 'Dicky Dirt'. In English you say 'tie', in Cockney we say 'Peckham Rye'. In English we say 'suit', in Cockney we say 'whistle and flute'. Sara (VO) Let's now listen to the sound of Scottish English. Steve Rogers is a bus driver. He lives in Edinburgh, Scotland's capital, and he's going to give us some examples of the way the Scots speak. Steve Rogers Yes, I live in Edinburgh and I speak with a Scottish accent. In England they would say 'away', in Scotland we say 'awae'. They would also say 'town', we say 'toon'. And in England they would say 'lake', but in Scotland we say 'loch'. Gary (VO) Now we leave for the Republic of Ireland, to look at one more way of speaking English. Buck Burns is a teacher at a primary school in County Kerry. Here, they also have their own peculiar way of speaking English Buck Burns Well, there are many variations of accents in Ireland. In this part of Ireland, in Kerry, if a person were saying 'The sticks and the stones are staying on the fence', that person might say: 'De sticks and de stones are shtaying on de fence.' Some Irish people have a difficulty with pronouncing the 'th' sound. People might say 'dis', 'dat', 'dese' and 'dose'. Or 'tirty-tree' instead of 'thirty-three.' Sara (VO) These are only four examples of different English accents. And to finish, we're going to listen to our four speakers giving you the same advice in four different accents. Pay attention to the advice. Jeremy Vine Remember: watching 'That's English!' is interesting and very practical. Go for it.' Pat Jolly And remember: watching 'That's English!' is interesting and very practical. Go for it.' Steve Rogers And remember: watching 'That's English!' is interesting and very practical. So go for it.' Buck Burns And remember: watching 'That's English!' is interesting and very practical. Go for it.' 6 MUSIC IN OUR LIVES A THE MUSIC OF LOVE George Shall we sit on the sofa?

George But you have to play Fruitloaf at full volume. Oh, Rosie I love you so much. Rosie George, I like this, but I prefer classical music or folk music. George Folk music? Rosie What's the matter, George? George I hate folk music. *** Bernard What's wrong, Rosie? Rosie George and I had an argument. Valerie All lovers argue sometimes. What did you argue about? Rosie We like different kinds of music. I bought some tickets for a concert, but George doesn't want to come now. Here, Bernard, you can have them. They're no good to me. Bernard Rosie ... Rosie There's nothing you can do for me now ... Valerie Rosie ... that's the broom cupboard. Rosie I loved him. Bernard Two tickets to a concert - in three days' time. Valerie Is it country music?

Bernard Well, you can use the video recorder. Valerie No, I don't like classical music very much. Bernard You like Mozart. Valerie I like to hear Mozart on the radio.

You can sing along to country music. Bernard I know who'll come with me. *** James No, Dad. I don’t like Mozart or Beethoven. Bernard Why not? James Because they're boring. Bernard They aren't boring. Mozart and Beethoven lived extraordinary lives. James But they've been dead for so long. Dead people are boring. *** James You don't listen to rap.

Yes. OK. Bye. Oh ... *** Bernard James, did you enjoy the concert? James I hated the orchestra. Bernard Yes, but what about the music? James The music was OK. Listen to this, Dad. This is what I like. Bernard I hate rap music. James You have to move your body. Come on, Dad. Shake it! No, that's no good. You need a baseball cap. Turn up the bass and get with the beat, Baggy. That's better. B MY KIND OF MUSIC Street interviews Joni I like most pop music, I like a bit of rock music, country and western, not classical. Mark I like classical music, I like jazz, and I like rock'n'roll. Fraser I like all kinds of music - anything from opera to rock'n'roll, but some Japanese music I don't like because the melody is very strange. Joni My favourite artist is George Michael. I think his recent songs really talk to me about my life and experiences I've had. Mark I like Kiri Te Kanawa. She has a beautiful voice. Fraser My favourite artist is Aretha Franklin. She has an amazing voice. The ad spot Is this the kind of music you like? It's all right, but it's a bit boring. What about rock music? Is this what you like? I like it, but it's too loud.
