The USA citizenship test is kind of weird, too, but not to that extent. My grandma took it about a year ago, and she had to learn all sorts of stuff that my US History classes didn’t even mention. There wasn’t anything about sports, though. :P

My answer for #3 isn’t on the list, so I’ll pick you. :)

yeah, the US questions are pretty much all about government and loads of people who speak English poorly (or not at all) can still pass it….I think they can get a translator that’s why, because I think my grandparents passed. It’s just sad when people who were born and raised here don’t know some of these things.

Nicole Kidman ftw. :D

I don’t know the contents of our citizenship test but if they’re questions like that, I’d fail and the country would lose an AMAZING citizen.

Nicole Kidman and Kylie Minogu are Aussies?! I’ve been living under a rock…

Haha it’s easier in Canada ’cause we’re all about multiculturalism here. I think we even give the citizenship test in Chinese and Punjabi.

My mom did a citezenship test- she had to get a big fat book and learn stuff I doubt that many british people know. How can you test someone on their right to live in a country anyway?

I remember reading an article once about how 80% of Canadian citizens would fail our citizenship test.

Don’t they give the potential citizens little booklets to study from or something?

I first went to the doctor, he said it was nothing, just a mere mole/birthmark, but he said if I still had any doubts then I should see a dermatologist (my hospital appointment)
So I have seen two health experts about it, both saying it’s nothing to worry about, I still do worry about it a little but there’s nothing I can really do about it.
Thanks for your concern though :)

The last answer is totally Kylie Minogue!
