.TuG.Tweak Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 JJ, Lol. My job is granting people British Cirizenship and I was heavily involved in the introduction of the Knowledge of Life in the UK test and it's construction. It is a huge misconception that all you have to do is pass this test and then you can be British. Beleive me it's a lot harder than that! The test is designed to promote integration. We used to get people applying for citisenship who's lived in the UK for 20 years but couldn't speak a word of English and therfore didn't integrate as all their friends didn't speak English. Many adults only learn English once their children go to school. The test is designed so that people have to learn a basic level of English in order to take the test and pass it. The stupid conservative press want us to think it's a load of rubbish. It aint. Up until a few years ago we were granting people citizenship without them knowing a single word. Oh, and question 9 is a fake, the BBC made it up and we well and truly bollocked them for it! haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
