ABSTRACT
Can you pick out different accents and tell where a person comes from by the way they speak? Discuss variations in voice and manners of speech that you are familiar with.
Can you imitate anyone’s accent? Why does it become funny sometimes, when people imitate voices? In the next text, the conflict is between ‘upper-class’ speech and the cockney of the Flower Girl, who is
talking to herself while the Gentleman and the Note Taker discuss her. As you read, think what voices you could use to give colour and variety to the characters’ words.
