Gcse english

I have been attending a gcse english course for the last 4 wks and so far Im really enjoying it,The group is quite diverse with 4 polish speaking ladihes,1 man from Nepal,1 traveller and 3 uni students among others
The tutor is great and really goes out of her way to make the sessions fun as well as us learning what we need .
We have been working on language and how it is used in conversation;so for part of our exam we have to use 2 transcripts that we have recorded and annotated then use them as a basis to write 1500 words .
So next week we are planning our essay (100 words max) and the week after we will be actually doing it .
I have decided to write about how people percieve others according to accent (as a west country girl myself Im often the brunt of jokes )
And west country/cornish accents are seen as belonging to people of less than normal intelligence !!
Thinking this will give me plenty to write about

Lol eh by gum !! Tis all that inbreeding tha' knows ! That's because they are all portrayed as living on farms !
