Culture today
Could YOU Become a British Citizen?
The UK: emigration and immigration
Last year, about 400000 British people emigrated. The most common destinations were Australia, New Zealand, France and Spain. The same year, about 591000 immigrants arrived in the UK from countries such as Poland, India, China and Pakistan.
Nowadays, if you want to become a British citizen, you have to pass a Citizenship test. The test contains 24 questions like these, about subjects such as history, politics, customs and geography. If you answer 75% of the questions correctly, you pass the test.
Test yourself! Do you know the answer to these questions?
When are the Patron Saints’ days of England, Scotland and Wales?
At what age do children finish compulsory education?
Do men and women have equal political rights?
Where do people speak with a Cockney accent?
What is the NHS?
Dariusz is delighted because he has just passed the test. ‘I had studied really hard.’ He says. ‘A few months before the test, I’d bought a book called Life in the UK: A Journey to Citizenship. I read it I hundred times!’ Dariusz is from Poland originally, and he’s been in Britain for three years now. His English is very good because he’s studied it since he was at school. ‘I’m so happy. It’s amazing - I can’t stop smiling!’
Imana from Somalia wasn’t so lucky. She took the test a few days ago, but she didn’t pass. ‘I was very disappointed,’ she says. ‘I hadn’t used a computer much before, and that was a problem because you have to take the test on the computer.’ Imana has only been in Britain since November. She had been in a refugee camp for a year before she came here. ‘I know my English isn’t very good yet,’ she adds. ‘But when I showed the test questions to some of my English friends, they didn’t know all the answers either!’
