Ltd  \n38 Soho Square, London W1D 3HB  \n© Rawdon Wyatt 2006  \nAll rights reserved.  \nNo part of this publication may be reproduced in  \nany form without the permission of the publishers.  \nA CIP entry for this book is available from the British Library ISBN-10: 0 7136 7914 X  \nISBN-13: 978 0 7136 7914 4  \neISBN-13: 978-1-4081-0237-4  \nText typeset by A & C Black  \nPrinted in Great Britain at Caligraving Ltd, Thetford, Norfolk  \nThis book is produced using paper that is made from wood grown in managed, sustainable forests. It is natural, renewable and recyclable. The logging and manufacturing processes conform to the environmental regulations of the country of origin.  \nIntroduction  \nThis book has been written for anyone coming to live and / or work in the United Kingdom, and who wants to:  \n􀀁 test and develop their knowledge of the key words and expressions that they might need or encounter on a day-to-day basis.  \n􀀁 learn about different aspects of the United Kingdom, including its history, politics, laws, rules, institutions and way of life.  \nThe 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.  \nWhen 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.  \nThe 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.  \nIt 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.  \nYou will find it very helpful to use a dictionary when you do the exercises. A good dictionary will give a clear definition of words and expressions, show you how they are pronounced, and give sample sentences that show how they are used in context. The Macmillan English Dictionary (ISBN 978-0333-964828) is particularly recommended, as it also provides a lot of background information on the United Kingdom and its various institutions.  \nMany of exercises and questions in this book are based on the things you will need to know if you are going to take the Home Office Life in the UK Test. The UK Home Office produces a very useful book called Life in the United Kingdom: A Journey to Citizenship (ISBN 978-0113-413027), which we recommend as a reference source. You might also like to consider the British Citizenship Test Study Guide, published by Red Squirrel Publishing (ISBN 978-0955-215919), which contains typical Citizenship Test questions.  \nOne further resource, and one that would be particularly helpful when using this book, would be a detailed large-scale map of the United Kingdom. These are usually available from the travel section of any wellstocked bookshop.  \nWhile you are using this book, you should note that national rules and laws are constantly changing and evolving, and while the information in this book was correct when it went to print, there may have been changes since then. You can keep up to date by checking [the website www.direct.gov.uk](the website www.direct.gov.uk), which provides public service information from the UK government, and includes useful directories and links to on-line services.  \nThis book is not an official text relating to the Home Office Life in the UK Test.
