TASK 2: BRUMMIE BY JACKIE DALTON

I choose a topic about people and place and the title is Brummie.The article is about people are speaking with a Birmingham accent – or a 'Brummie accent' accent some might say. 'Brummie' is an informal word to describe someone or something who comes from Birmingham – England's second biggest city.

For me, the article is little bit difficult because I need repeat the recording and read the script until three times to understand whole of the article

The intro very interesting and Jackie Dalton who as a speaker ask three people to comment on it. They‘re Carl Chinn, as a Professor of community history at Birmingham University, Anisa who lives in Birmingham's Asian community and Joan Hunter, works for a radio station. The Brummie accent is loved by some, but hated by many. For them it is being a Brummie is all about our identity, it's about who we are as a person, where we’re grew up, where we’re born and the people to whom we belong.

I think it is interesting because I learned new experience but the speakers talked very fast and they spoke with Birmingham accent.

Lastly but not at least, let see new phase that I found from the article:

Convinced completely sure about something

Endearing pleasant or nice

Warm friendly and endearing

Bound run quickly with long steps

Annoying making you fill angry or slightly angry
