Introduction

A new report says that more people in Poland are mean to Ukrainians since early 2025.

一份新報告指出，自 2025 年初以來，波蘭有更多人對烏克蘭人不友善。

Main Body

Two researchers talked to 25 Ukrainians in Poland. Some people are now mean to Ukrainians in real life, not just on the internet.

兩位研究人員訪談了 25 位在波蘭的烏克蘭人。有些人現在在現實生活中對烏克蘭人很不友善，而不僅僅是在網路上。

Some Ukrainians say people are mean because of the 2025 elections. Others say it is because of old problems between the two countries. People are mean on buses and trains when they hear the Ukrainian language.

部分烏克蘭人表示，人們不友善是因為 2025 年的選舉。其他人則認為是因為兩國之間長期存在的問題。當人們在公車和火車上聽到烏克蘭語時，會表現得不友善。

It is also hard for Ukrainians to find houses, doctors, or schools. Some Polish people are worried about jobs and money for refugees. Because of this, they like refugees less than before.

烏克蘭人現在也很難找到房子、醫生或學校。部分波蘭人擔心難民會影響工作機會和資金。因此，他們對難民的好感度比以前降低了。

Conclusion

Ukrainians in Poland face more problems and less kindness from the public.

在波蘭的烏克蘭人面臨更多問題，且大眾對他們的友善程度降低。

💡 The Power of "Because of"

In this text, we see a pattern used to explain reasons.

The Pattern: Something happens →\rightarrow because of →\rightarrow The Reason (a noun/thing)

Examples from the text:

  • Mean people →\rightarrow because of →\rightarrow the 2025 elections.
  • Mean people →\rightarrow because of →\rightarrow old problems.

Why this helps you reach A2: Beginners usually only use "because" (which needs a full sentence). A2 students use "because of" to connect a feeling or action directly to a thing.

🏠 Useful Group Words (Nouns)

These are common things you need to name in daily life:

  • Houses (Where we live)
  • Doctors (Who helps us when we are sick)
  • Schools (Where we learn)
  • Jobs (How we earn money)

📉 Comparing Now vs. Before

Look at the phrase: "...like refugees less than before."

Use this to show a change: [Action] + less than before →\rightarrow I sleep less than before.
