Hey, everyone, I'm Ayshah.

This morning, Newsround is looking at the big vote that's got

the whole country talking.

In eight days' time, adults are being asked to decide

if the UK should stay in, or leave a club of countries

called the European Union.

So Ricky's travelled to Poland to find out more

about one of the biggest issues - immigration.

Welcome to Warsaw, the capital of Poland.

It's a really busy city, around 2 million people live here.

There are loads of tourists, coffee shops and interesting buildings.

And behind me is the old town, completely devastated by bombing

during the Second World War, and over time it's been rebuilt.

Just like the UK, Poland is a member of the European Union,

otherwise known as the EU.

Over the last 12 years, since they joined the group

of countries, hundreds of thousands of people have left Poland

and moved to the UK.

That's called immigration, when people decide

to go to a different country to live and work.

More on that in just a little bit, but first I have been travelling

around Warsaw and speaking to kids about what life is like

here in Poland and what they think of the UK.

We're heading to Warsaw, which is the capital of Poland.

'The seat belt signs have been switched on.'

I think that Poland is beautiful.

There is amazing food and amazing views.

A lot of hard-working people.

Cold in winter, hot in summer.

I love my country, I want to stay here for my life.

Since Poland joined the EU in 2004 thousands of people have moved

from here to the United Kingdom.

It is thought there are almost 800,000 Poles living in the UK.

That's because there's an agreement between all the countries

inside the European Union to make it easier for people to move around,

live and work in other EU countries.

I actually love the United Kingdom, and I would love

to one day be there.

London is really beautiful and one of the most important

cities on the Earth.

When I think of the UK, I think

of British accents.

Top Gear.

The Beatles.

The weather is rainy.

One Direction.

Tea, a cup of tea.

So, back to that big vote.

Well, a lot is being said on both sides when it comes to immigration.

Campaigners who want the UK to leave the European Union say the number

of people arriving from other EU countries, including Poland,

is getting out of control.

Those who want the UK to stay in, disagree.

They say immigrants do help pay towards things like hospitals,

schools and other public services.

Leave campaigners believe that if we quit the EU,

the UK will have more control over who can enter the country.

But the Remain camp say that isn't true.

Over the last few weeks, you may have heard loads

of different arguments about what might happen if the UK

was to leave or stay in the European Union.

No one knows exactly what would happen, but those big

decisions could have a big impact on you, and other children

in the EU club of countries.

Well, I've been speaking to teams here in Warsaw to find

out what they think.

THEY SPEAK POLISH

Welcome to Poland.

What you think people in the UK think of Polish people?

I think that the English people should see Polish people as smart,

funny and always smiling.

They think that we are not polite, not nice, they are thinking this

about us, but it's not true.

I have been studying English from kindergarten and I would love

to live there.

I actually want to stay and study in Poland.

My uncle, he works in a coffee shop.

Life in England is more comfortable.

It's so good that we are in this European Union

and it's all a community.

If the UK would leave the EU, it would affect us a lot.

That's all from me here in Poland.

Make sure you come back at 8:15 for the next

stop in my EU road trip, where I'll be exploring what impact

immigration is having back home in the UK.
