This book has been written for anyone coming to live and / or work in the United Kingdom, and who wants to: -test and develop their knowledge of the key words and expressions that they might need or encounter on a day-to-day basis. -learn about different aspects of the United Kingdom, including its history, politics, laws, rules, institutions and way of life. The book contains exercises that present the vocabulary and information in a lively and interesting way. Crosswords, quizzes, gap-fills and other tasks mean that you will test and develop your knowledge in an active way. When you use the book, you should not go through the exercises 'mechanically'. It is better to choose areas that are of particular interest, or areas that you feel would be particularly relevant to your needs. The exercises are accompanied by a full key at the back. This not only gives you all the answers, but also provides you with a lot of other information that might be useful. It is important to record new words and expressions that you learn. Try to develop your own personal vocabulary 'bank' in a notebook or file. Review the words and expressions on a regular basis so that they become a part of your 'productive' vocabulary.
