The language in Britain is influenced by several factors. Firstly children are <u>adopting other pronounciations</u> to ''increase their coolness''. A second strong influence is the <u>American language</u> from which many words are assimilated into British English. For example ''American words like "barf" or "vomit"'' are fully integrated into British English. Furthermore words, which are slang are <u>mentioned in the dictionary</u>. For instance ''while words like "bobbitt" are not mentioned anymore, new words like "dweeb" appear''. Also the <u>media is effecting</u> the British language. The ''employment of newsreaders that don't speak Received Pronounciation like Anna Ford'' is an example for this statement. In conclusion you can say if even the upper-class children have given up their Received Pronounciation it is a strong signal for the fast change in speaking culture. | The language in Britain is influenced by several factors.

Your dreams can get real! Anyone has dream, but nearly no one thinks they could get real. But sometimes they get surprised because their dreams happen in real life, what makes them happy. A man for example dreamed he would win at a lottry and five days later he was 1.000.000 $ richer. Furthermore sad dreams might happen too e.g. someone dreams he falls into a deep hole and suddenly wakes up lying on the floor under his bed. All in all you have a 50 % chance that a positive dream gets real. Good Luck ! | Your dreams can get real! Anyone has dream, but nearly no one thinks they could get real.
