2. Foreword
At the outset, it is worth noting that the views presented in this
presentation are highly subjective. Every effort has been made to
make this presentation as objective as possible, however, due to
the extremely extensive nature of the topic, the author decided to
limit himself to presenting the most current issues and
observations related to the present-day Poland and how it is
perceived by its inhabitants - Poles. The author asks for your
understanding.Thank you.
3. 1. The Polish education system is oriented towards the student
and his interests, and not on the transfer of knowledge in large
amounts.
4. 2. The achievements of Poles in various fields are promoted and known
all over the world. The world is reminded that there are many more
famous Poles than just Lech Wałęsa or Pope John Paul II, who have
made asignificantcontribution to the history andculture of the world.

5. 3. Poland is a country where the number of sunny days exceeds
rainy days, the temperature ranges between 18-25 degrees
Celsius. The perfect Poland is also a country where people are
happy, they do not complain about their fate, and everyone is
kind.
6. 4. Poland is a multi-faith country. Poles are tolerant of other
people's views and do not interfere in the lives of others.
Everyone can be who they want, believe what they want and
there is freedom of speech and respect for the values of every
humanbeing.
7. 5. Nowadays, Poles complain about the judicial system in
Poland. Thus, in an ideal Poland, judgments passed by the
court are adequatetothe committedact and fair.
8. 6. Like some European countries, politicians work for
free. Importantly, they listen to their voters and fulfill
their election promises. The welfare of people is most
importanttothem.
9. 7. Bureaucracy is an unknown word in perfect Poland. Taking
care of matters in various types of state offices is something
easy and pleasant for an average Pole.
10. 8. Ah, money. It is impossible not to mention the financial aspect
of everyone's life. In an ideal Poland taxes are low and
people's wages are decent.
11. 9. Currently, there are many retirees in Poland. Poland is an ideal
country because every pensioner has trouble-free access to
free medical care, and the paid pension allows for a dignified
life.
12. 10. In an ideal Poland, the protection of fauna and flora is at the
highest level. Instead of controlling the animals, hunters are
under the watchful eye of the state, and the poachers are
punishedwith allforce.
13. 11. Ideally, Poland's cultural and historical heritage is properly
cared for. Famous Polish monuments often deteriorate
because there are no funds to maintain them in good
condition.

14. 12. Poland has moved with the times and is adjusting many standards to
European standards. However, entertainment for children and young
people is still something that is not evenly developed in smaller towns
in Poland. It would be ideal if the state invested more in the
development of broadly understood entertainment and physical
activity for children andadolescents.
15. 13. Medical care is available to everyone. And it's free. There are
no long queues to specialists. Many medicines are refundable,
and for some agegroups medicines are freeand unlimited.
16. 14. There is a notorious problem with smog in contemporary
Poland. Ideally, Poles replace the use of fossil fuels they use to
heat their homes with natural gas and other alternative
energy sources.
