4．It was once common to regard Britain as a society with class distinction．Each class had unique characteristics．
In recent years，many writers have begun to speak the'decline of class'and'classless society'in Britain．And in modern day consumer society everyone is considered to be middle class．
But pronouncing the death of class is too early．A recent wide-ranging society of public opinion found 90percent of people still placing themselves in particular class； 73percent agreed that class was still a vital part of British society； and 52percent thought there were still sharp class differences．Thus，class may not be culturally and politically obvious，yet it remains an important part of British society．Britain seems to have a love ofstratification．
One unchanging aspect of a British person's class position is accent．The words a person speaks tell her or his class．A study of British accents during 1970s found that a voice sounding like a BBC newsreader was viewed as the most attractive voice，Most people said this accent sounded'educated'and'soft'．The accents placed at the bottom in this study，on the other hand，were regional（地区的）city accents．These accents were seen as'common'and'ugly'．However，a similar study of British accents in the US turned these results upside down and placed some regional accents as the most attractive and BBC English as the least．This suggests that British attitudes towards accent have deep roots and are based on class prejudice．
In recent years，however，young upper middle-class people in London，have begun to adopt some regional accents，in order to hide their class origins．This is an indication of class becoming unnoticed．However，the 1995pop song'Common People'puts forward the view that though a middle-class person may'want to live like common people'they can never appreciate the reality of a working-class life．
