In last British class we watched a video about a urban gril who calle Lise from Yorkshire, she left her job and the dramatic team arranged 4 weeks to change her. Let a group of posh society guests believe that she was a upper class girl. Therefore, she need change her voice, how to station in every situation and how to dress to look like an suitable woman. Over 4 weeks, she had a final test in a upper class dinner party. We can see that she had nice dress and in her outlook like a upper-class. However, when she communicated with other guests, she had not the same topic for other guests. Because they had not grow up in the same enironment. Fianlly, she fail in dinner party, but she also feel happy for these 4 weeks.
There are many differents class for every country. For example in Britain there are working class, middle class and upper class.
'Post' one source came from a English gentlemen poet who called Edward Fitzgerald. It means elegant and fashionable.
