Thanks for reply. It does say if you have ESOL certificate then is fine and just tick some where, but I have OCR level 1 certificate for adult literacy and level 2 in English for Edexcel Function Skills Qualification. Do you think I'm ok with this or I still have to go for Life test? Many thanks for reply.

Your ESOL qualification won't meet the requirement for British Citizenship.
This passage from the UKBA website explains:
The course must have included citizenship materials derived from the document 'Citizenship Materials for ESOL Learners' (ISBN: 1-84478-5424).

I suggest you read through the rules thoroughly in this link:

Thanks Casa, I've checked it and yes I will take the test.
About naturalization, can I apply for it based on 6 years of relationship with EEA( married 4 years, that is what I got PR) or do I have to wait for 1 year after PR? many thanks.

If you are not the spouse or civil partner of a British citizen, then you also need to have PR for at least one year.
