A review of the contents of my resume, my education, teaching, and employment record will assure you that I am equipped with extensive preparation and performance in the English education field.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hold both a Bachelor&amp;#39;s and a Master&amp;#39;s degree from accredited universities (see below). My abilities as a teacher have been honed and enhanced through over ten years of consistent practice in the field. I have meticulously prepared and delivered hundreds of lesson-plans, speeches, and lectures and have taught various age groups, ranging from children to teen-agers to undergraduate students to adults. I have taught conversation techniques and have conducted reading groups and discussion groups for children, university students and adults. I have actively engaged in children&amp;#39;s education with a high degree of satisfaction and success. I recently taught in the government Elementary school system of Korea, and I enjoyed relating to and responding to the learning-needs of the children. I was selected to be the Head Teacher for Kaya University&amp;#39;s English Summer Camp for Kids. My task was to teach and co-ordinate the activities of 7 other teachers at this intensive English camp for both Elementary and High School students. I am presently teaching undergraduate students at a renowned university in Daegu, Korea. Letters of recommendation are available from this Elementary School.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Along with my formal training and experience, I offer myself as an intelligent, sensitive and articulate person. My vocabulary is extensive and my pronunciation is clear and distinct. I am endowed with an innate sensitivity to the needs of others. I hail from a multi-cultural context and I have adapted to various cultures very well. I am a clear thinker, communicator, and an empathetic teacher who can identify and respond to the particular needs of individual students. I love working with children and have great energy and enthusiasm in the classroomâ¦students are very responsive and positive toward me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am currently teaching in Korea...but I am seeking to relocate to the Philippines. I will be available from the middle of December, this year. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would like to send you my resume and letters of reference attached. I am happy to send you scans of my degrees, passport or any other pertinent information that you require. I also welcome a telephone interview. If you reply to me I would be happy to send you my photograph - to your personal email.

&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 6 November, 2007&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Concerning: Mr. Keren M. Leigh&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This person served as a Native Speaking English Teacher at our school during 2007. I was his Korean co-teacherâ¦and we worked closely together during this year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. He complied with all school regulations. He understood his roles and responsibilities and fulfilled all of his duties admirably. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. He has a neat and clean appearance and dressed very well. He was professional in all of his conduct. He has a very good nature and was sensitive to our needs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. He was active in class-preparation and came up with many good ideas for our classes. He collaborated with me, his co-worked, to solve any problems that we encountered when students had difficulties. He did his very best to meet the needs of students and to make sure they were satisfied.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. He dealt with the students very kindly and he was open to listening to the students and to respond to their needs. He has a very good sense of humor and all the students liked him tremendously. They were sad to hear he was leaving us at the end of the year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. He was very concerned that students felt they were progressing and learning every day. He taught the students using a variety of teaching styles and methods and he made each class fun and interesting. He has excellent teaching skills and achieved our class purpose, following the lesson plans and teaching objectives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. He has a positive attitude and put all of his effort into teaching. He tried to find studentâs strong points and to praise everyone he worked with and taught. He is kind, polite, and sociable, so he got along very well with all our other staff members, even though he comes from a culture different to ours.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These things prove his is a good teacher in terms of his teaching ability, personal nature, and the success he achieved in the classroom. Our school strongly recommends him to you as a teacher who will benefit your school.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kim Son Hee&lt;br /&gt;Korean English Teacher - Jinyeong Daechung Elementary School&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have always had a knack for relationship building and have no doubt that I will be able to foster firm and effective working relationships with my employer. I am certain that I will make a valuable contribution to the minds and lives of the young students that you entrust to my pedagogic care. Thank you for your kind consideration of my application.

Then of course all three countries have many regional accents which are again very different. I think I know what is ment when it is said I'm a friends fan and I know the episode where Ross puts on a 'British' accent so I presume that's what your refering to, but very few people in England actually speak like that. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I believe I don't have an accent, I'm from the South West so had a rather 'farmer' accent but neither of my parents were from the&amp;nbsp;area so I managed to get rid of that pretty quick, I can still put the Dorset accent on when I want to but that is rare, I currently live in Devon and am able to pick up the Devonish accent which is similar but with the emphasis on different letters but again tthere arn't many occasions when I do. I can tell by listening to a person which county in the South West they are from so I get rather annoyed when people lump them all together as 'farmers' or the 'South West' because there is such a difference in just a small area.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I now speak Estuary English, Tony Blair also speaks this&amp;nbsp;and when I was in Canada I was told I had&amp;nbsp;a very nice&amp;nbsp;English accent. It&amp;nbsp;is quite posh and what I call 'speaking properly' because you don't drop any letters, you say all the T's and H's which are probably the most commonly dropped letters especially in what I would call 'Chav Speak' but I am aware that there arn't Chav's in America I think the best way I can describe it from my point of veiw is common and&amp;nbsp;trying to be more common because it's cool (I don't know why) it comes from housing estates and they all have ASBO's which makes them cooler somehow. Anyway moving on from my dislike of chavs, although I should quickly mention that I'm not a snob it's difficult for people to understand the whole chav thing and I didn't even bring emo's and goth's into the equation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The original poster was asking about RP (Received Pronunciation) also sometimes reffered to as a 'BBC' accent because for years all BBC news readers had to speak with it. It's generally seen as a very posh accent, I don't know if you've ever seen 'The Good Life' (&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLwcHuhwHRY&amp;amp;feature=related" target="_blank" title="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLwcHuhwHRY&amp;amp;feature=related"&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLwcHuhwHRY&amp;amp;feature=related&lt;/a&gt;) Margot - the woman in that clip - speaks RP.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is a good clip for explaining different British accents, although it mainly covers the many London accents,&amp;nbsp;and misses out most of the others still: &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLsVh6Qrpew&amp;amp;feature=related" target="_blank" title="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLsVh6Qrpew&amp;amp;feature=related"&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLsVh6Qrpew&amp;amp;feature=related&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I loved the comment about a Newcastle accent being posh, thats not at all the way it is regarded here.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;George Harrison is from Liverpool along with the other members of the Beatles so has a scouse accent, but&amp;nbsp;within Liverpool there are different accents depending on where your from so his accents may not completely match the other Beatles.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I'm not going to try and explain accents I&amp;nbsp;don't know well&amp;nbsp;so don't think this is all of them, I don't even know how many there are.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you want to learn one I'd go for Estuary it's not very hard and one of the best for others to understand.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I hope I've helped, although I may have just confused things even more.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Doesn't Tony Blair used to change his accent depending to whom he was talking? For example, when speaking to younger speakers he used more glottal stops and so on. Moreover, I'm fascinated by&amp;nbsp; Estuary English. Is it kind of a deviation from RP? What is not there what is in RP, and vice versa?&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Received Pronunciation &amp;amp; Mid Atlantic English</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/ReceivedPronunciationAtlantic-English/3/zgqjk/Post.htm#451870</link><pubDate>Tue, 11 Dec 2007 03:27:27 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:451870</guid><dc:creator>Anonymous</dc:creator><description>&lt;P&gt;It really bugs me the way Americans say a 'British' accent&amp;nbsp;because more than one country makes up Britain, there is England, Scotland, and Wales, all of which have very different accents.

all,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;All
passages below are from â&lt;b&gt;Crazy English&lt;/b&gt;â â &lt;b&gt;by Richard Lederer, POCKET
BOOKS&lt;/b&gt;. (I tried to find an Internet link, but failed. So please pardon me
for the length of the text, which I believe would be very informative). &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;âHETERONYMS â words with same spelling as other words but with
different pronunciations and meanings.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Listen,
readers, toward me &lt;b&gt;bow.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Be friendly; do not draw the &lt;b&gt;bow.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Please donât try to start a &lt;b&gt;row.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Sit peacefully, all in a &lt;b&gt;row.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Donât squeal like a big, fat &lt;b&gt;sow.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Do not the seeds of discord &lt;b&gt;sow.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Membership
in the exclusive club of heteronyms is strict, and tandems such as &lt;b&gt;resume &lt;/b&gt;and
&lt;b&gt;rÃ©sumÃ© &lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;and &lt;b&gt;pate &lt;/b&gt;and &lt;b&gt;pÃ¢tÃ© &lt;/b&gt;are not admitted because
the accent constitutes a change in spelling. Pseudo-heteronymic pairs like &lt;b&gt;insult
&lt;/b&gt;(noun) and &lt;b&gt;insult&lt;/b&gt; (verb), â¦, &lt;b&gt;read &lt;/b&gt;(present-tense verb) and &lt;b&gt;read&lt;/b&gt;
(past-tense verb), and &lt;b&gt;primer&lt;/b&gt; (beginnerâs book) and &lt;b&gt;primer &lt;/b&gt;(base
coat of paint) are fairly common in English language, but they are not true

&lt;p&gt;Richard gives these sentences:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;After
the &lt;b&gt;slaver&lt;/b&gt; had sold his slaves, he could &lt;b&gt;slaver &lt;/b&gt;over the money he
made.&lt;br&gt;
The &lt;b&gt;unionized &lt;/b&gt;stockroom workers stacked bottles of ionized and &lt;b&gt;unionized&lt;/b&gt;
solutions.&lt;br&gt;
The storm began to &lt;b&gt;buffet&lt;/b&gt; the outdoor &lt;b&gt;buffet.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;
The steam-driven &lt;b&gt;tower&lt;/b&gt; pulled the disabled boat to the lighthouse &lt;b&gt;tower&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;br&gt;
The &lt;b&gt;sewer&lt;/b&gt; threw her sewing into the &lt;b&gt;sewer&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;br&gt;
She is now &lt;b&gt;resorting &lt;/b&gt;to &lt;b&gt;resorting&lt;/b&gt; the mail.&lt;br&gt;
He became &lt;b&gt;resigned &lt;/b&gt;to the fact that he had &lt;b&gt;resigned&lt;/b&gt; an unfair
contract.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;And he shares with us this poem:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;Please go through the &lt;b&gt;entrance&lt;/b&gt; of this little
poem.&lt;br&gt;
I guarantee it will &lt;b&gt;entrance &lt;/b&gt;you.&lt;br&gt;
The &lt;b&gt;content&lt;/b&gt; will certainly make you&lt;b&gt; content.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;
And the knowledge gained sure will enhance you.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;A boy &lt;b&gt;moped&lt;/b&gt; around when his parents refused.&lt;br&gt;
For him a new &lt;b&gt;moped &lt;/b&gt;to buy.&lt;br&gt;
The &lt;b&gt;incense &lt;/b&gt;he burned did &lt;b&gt;incense&lt;/b&gt; him to go.&lt;br&gt;
On a &lt;b&gt;tear&lt;/b&gt; with a &lt;b&gt;tear &lt;/b&gt;in his eye&lt;b&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;He &lt;b&gt;ragged&lt;/b&gt; on his parents, felt they ran him &lt;b&gt;ragged&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;br&gt;
He just&lt;b&gt; deserts&lt;/b&gt; they never gave.&lt;br&gt;
He imagined them out on some &lt;b&gt;deserts &lt;/b&gt;so dry.&lt;br&gt;
Where for water theyâd search and theyâd rave.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;At &lt;b&gt;present&lt;/b&gt; he just wonât &lt;b&gt;present &lt;/b&gt;or &lt;b&gt;converse&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;
On the &lt;b&gt;converse&lt;/b&gt; of each high-flown theory&lt;br&gt;
Or circles and &lt;b&gt;axes&lt;/b&gt; in math class; he has&lt;br&gt;
Many &lt;b&gt;axes&lt;/b&gt; to grind, isnât cheery&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;He tries to play basketball, but often &lt;b&gt;skied &lt;/b&gt;out,&lt;br&gt;
So when the snows came, he just &lt;b&gt;skied.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;
But he then broke a leg &lt;b&gt;putting&lt;/b&gt; on his ski boots,&lt;br&gt;
And his &lt;b&gt;putting &lt;/b&gt;in golf was in need.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;He once held the &lt;b&gt;lead&lt;/b&gt; in a cross-country race,&lt;br&gt;
âTil his legs started feeling like &lt;b&gt;lead&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;br&gt;
And when the pain &lt;b&gt;peaked&lt;/b&gt;, he looked kind of &lt;b&gt;peaked&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;br&gt;
His &lt;b&gt;liver&lt;/b&gt; felt &lt;b&gt;liver&lt;/b&gt;, then dead.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;A &lt;b&gt;number&lt;/b&gt; of times he felt &lt;b&gt;number&lt;/b&gt;, all &lt;b&gt;wound&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Up, like one with a &lt;b&gt;wound&lt;/b&gt;, not a wand.&lt;br&gt;
His new TV &lt;b&gt;console&lt;/b&gt; just couldnât &lt;b&gt;console&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Or &lt;b&gt;slough&lt;/b&gt; off a &lt;b&gt;slough&lt;/b&gt; of despond.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;The &lt;b&gt;rugged &lt;/b&gt;boy paced âround his shaggy &lt;b&gt;rugged&lt;/b&gt;
room,&lt;br&gt;
And he spent the whole &lt;b&gt;evening&lt;/b&gt; till dawn&lt;br&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Evening&lt;/b&gt; out the cross-&lt;b&gt;winds&lt;/b&gt; of his hate.&lt;br&gt;
Now my anecdote &lt;b&gt;winds&lt;/b&gt; on and on.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;&amp;nbsp;He thought: â&lt;b&gt;Does&lt;/b&gt; the prancing of so many &lt;b&gt;does&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Explain why down &lt;b&gt;dove&lt;/b&gt; the white &lt;b&gt;dove,&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Or why a &lt;b&gt;p ussy &lt;/b&gt;cat has a &lt;b&gt;p ussy&lt;/b&gt; old sore&lt;br&gt;
And &lt;b&gt;bass&lt;/b&gt; sing in &lt;b&gt;bass&lt;/b&gt; notes of their loves?â&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Do&lt;/b&gt; they always sing, â&lt;b&gt;Do&lt;/b&gt; re miâ and
stare, &lt;b&gt;apage,&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;
At eros, &lt;b&gt;apage, &lt;/b&gt;each &lt;b&gt;minute&lt;/b&gt;?&lt;br&gt;
Their loveâs not &lt;b&gt;minute&lt;/b&gt;; thereâs an &lt;b&gt;overage&lt;/b&gt; of love.&lt;br&gt;
Even &lt;b&gt;overage &lt;/b&gt;fish are quite in it.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;These bass fish have never been in short &lt;b&gt;supply&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;
As they &lt;b&gt;supply&lt;/b&gt; spawn without waiting.&lt;br&gt;
With their love fluids bubbling, abundant, &lt;b&gt;secretive,&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Thereâs many a &lt;b&gt;secretive &lt;/b&gt;mating.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hope
you would enjoy,&lt;br&gt;

&lt;P&gt;I presume&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;EM&gt; it&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt; acts as a dummy object in the above to substitute for the real object--&lt;EM&gt;to understand someone who speaks English with a British accent or an American accent&lt;/EM&gt;.&lt;BR&gt;My&amp;nbsp;question is why the base sentence takes a comparative adjective "&lt;EM&gt;easier&lt;/EM&gt;" even though there is only one object?
