Lauren Cooper - French Exam
The setup
The premise
Here’s the bit.
Lauren Cooper is a teenage schoolgirl who is sitting for her French oral exam. She is initially uncooperative and pretends to not know any French. Her teacher, who is trying to get her to participate, is surprised when Lauren suddenly starts speaking fluent French, quoting French songs and talking about Thierry Henry. Lauren then reverts back to her chav persona, asking her teacher if she is "bovvered" by her fluency in French.
