ACCENTS I

BBC Voices BBC Voices recordings BBC Inside Out programmes Learning accents: sounds familiar? Well, now, here you have a video Jorge found. Sandra Bullock is interviewed by a British reporter on the red carpet (Oscars 2013). She talks about her new film with George Clooney and she also says how much she loves British accent and how it makes British people look smarter and more respectable. http://edition.cnn.com/video/#/video/bestoftv/2013/02/25/exp-pmt-sandra-bullock-oscar-red-carpet.cnn Guess what? When I saw this video the British reporter looked really familiar. I knew I had seen him before and I've just remembered where. Do you recall Susan Boyle on Britain's Got Talent? He was a member of the jury that evening and he was stunned by Susan Boyle's performance as everybody else, of course. Who would've guessed. (Please do notice Susan Boyle's Scottish accent ) If you're up for more surprising videos, here you have another one.

It was released in the US on February 8th, 2013. An edge-of-your-seat thriller.

Dwayne Dwiddle drew a drawing of dreaded Dracula. Elmer Elwood eluded elven elderly elephants. Floyd Flingle flipped flat flapjacks. Greta Gruber grabbed a group of green grapes.
