i think that there are many kinds of accent in the UK as my two UK's colleague UK colleagues have different pronunciation.
Notes:
There are some small grammatical points to try to remember: always begin a sentence with an uppercase letter (A,B,C...), always put a space after a full-stop (.) or comma (,), the word "I" must always be uppercase.
Phillipines is the country, Filipino is the nationality.
Hope this is helpful! You're right, there are lots of different accents in the UK, it is very hard for English learners to get used to. However, we're very aware of this (sometimes, we have difficulty understanding speakers from other parts of the country), so if you don't understand and ask the speaker to speak a little slower and more clearly, they will understand and help you out.

^ As Ren says, exposure is the key! If you can access it, BBC television shows often have a variety of British accents. (In the UK, we would access these shows through BBC iPlayer or YouTube, I'm not sure how you would be able to access them in China).

Yes, despite being a relatively small country, the UK is known for its great number of regional accents.
Try getting as much material as possible, whether it be British learning materials, TV Shows, or even an instructor that is familiar with the difference between American and British English.
