The place where I’m from is beautiful. It’s called Bielany and it’s one of the nicest neighbourhoods of Warsaw, the capital city. It’s next to a forest, and in the winter there’s an ice-skating rink.
Famous people from Poland include the composer Frederic Chopin, the medical investigator Marie Curie and the union leader Lech Walesa. The people are generally helpful but always keep a distance. We are considered friendly and hospitable.
Polish people are generally good at learning foreign languages (probably because our language is so hard). But there are many English sounds that we find difficult. For example, in English there are short and long vowels, but in Polish all vowels are short which can cause problems with words such as “sheet” where the vowel sound “e” is long.
