I decided to take this test recently, and even got some of the questions wrong! So listen in and find out why :) While we learn https://adeptenglish.com/company/learning-system/ about British Values and useful vocabulary like 'naturalisation' (the process of becoming a citizen), 'obscure' (facts that are not well known), and 'trivia' (small, interesting details). These are words you can use in everyday English.

We talk about democracy, the rule of law, and individual liberty. We also ask: does this test really help people become part of British society? Listening https://adeptenglish.com/english/listening/ to this podcast helps you practise English and understand British culture. Press play and let's start.
