Answer

Jim Broadbent is from Lincolnshire in the east of England.  His accent is not a strong one by English standards, and it is close to a standard southern English accent.  If you listen to audio files of words in online dictionaries, the accent will be similar.  I think he is a good person for a student to listen to.

Hey Yuanyuan, those 2 books are read by the same person (Jim Broadbent), a famous English actor. His accent is very British to me, but maybe someone more familiar with the UK could pinpoint the exact location ;)
