Question

A little piece of Poland
A Llanelli is a small town in wales much like any other small Welsh town. there is one thing that makes it unusual, though. 2,000 Polish immigrants have settled there in the last few years, and the population of 40,000 is now 5% Polish. Llanelli now has a delicatessen that sells only Polish food, and the local pub serves Polish lager along with more traditional Welsh beers.
B Poles have been coming to Britain for a long time and there are Polish communities all over the country. In 1939, at the beginning of the Second World War, thousands of Poles escaped the Nazis and came to Britain. when the war began, Britain had a shortage of pilots and many Polish pilots joined the British air force.
C when the war finished, a communist government was elected in Poland and large numbers of Poles decided not to return home. many of them were doctors, lawyers and engineers, but they found it difficult to find work because the British did not recognize their qualifications. as an alternative, they found work in the building trade or become coal miners. Some started businesses of their own, and there are still many Polish clockmakers and shoe repairers around the country.
D Now, at the beginning of the 21st century, there is another wave of migration. Poland became a member of the EU in 2004, and that gave Poles the freedom to work in Britain. Unemployment in Poland was high at that time, and many Poles took the opportunity to move to a place where there were more jobs and they could earn more money.
E In Llanelli, the relationship between the locals and the Polish settlers is good. student Ana Kurek says, ‘there will always be some problems when a large group of new people arrive in a small town, but the local people here are generally very friendly and I feel at home. Perhaps, when the situation in Poland is better, I’ll want to go home, but for now I am very happy.’
