What is the theme of the film: "MY FAIR LADY" ? [br] [originaltext] The fil

The film My Fair Lady, in which a London flower seller in the early years of this century is transformed into an elegant high society figure, simply by changing the way she speaks, reflects an old English belief that it is not what you say that is important but how you say it. Undeniably, it helps in all aspects of life to be articulate and well-spoken. However, it seems that young people in Britain today are losing the ability to communicate clearly and accurately in standard English, and the British government is so concerned that it has set up a committee to "promote the use of better English".
     However, do Britain’s young people really have a problem in expressing themselves articulately? A study published last October suggests that there is real cause for concern; it showed that among the UK’s 15-year-olds, only 22 percent of boys and 28 percent of girls feel comfortable using standard English in formal situations. Professor Dick Hudson of the Development of Linguistics at University College, London, agrees that there is a problem: "British pupils leaving school are not as good at using language as pupils from other countries. Partly because they do not spend very much time talking in class."
