10 Time to Read! (A)
Home Sweet Home!
I live in a small flat in İstanbul, but it is big enough for me and my dog, Tom. There are four rooms
in the house; a bedroom, a kitchen, a living room, and a small bathroom. I don’t have a garden.
Luckily, there is enough space for my flowers and my coffee table on the balcony. I love having a
cup of coffee there after work.
I love my neighbourhood. It is only five minutes from my flat to the city centre. It is quite noisy
and crowded, but I have some reasons to live here. First of all, the subway station is opposite my
home. Getting from my place to anywhere in İstanbul by subway is considerably faster than all
other options. One of the other good things about living in the city centre is it is easy to access
shops. There is a bakery next to my apartment building. They make delicious pastries and bread.
Opposite it, there is a kiosk. I buy a newspaper from that kiosk every morning. The market is
between the kiosk and the pharmacy. Finally, there is a park at the end of the street. It is a
peaceful place to read your book, walk your dog or sit and relax.

I would like to tell you about the facilities and buildings located on our campus. Well, let’s begin our tour
at the main entrance. The first building on the right corner, opposite the ATMs, is the library. It is one
of the most used facilities by the students. In our library, you can find many digital sources like ebooks,
audios, videos and articles to improve your learning experience. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the
campus for the students and the faculty members. There are several artworks all around the campus
such as sculptures and paintings. If you walk through College Road, you will see the huge sculpture
made from plastic bottles in the middle of the roundabout. The university main building is on the
corner of College Road and Michelangelo Road on your right across the theatre building. As you can
see, there is a swimming pool and a big park in the west of the campus with a restaurant to the east
of it. You can sit and relax in the park or enjoy delicious food in the restaurant on Bellini Road. On the
opposite side, there is a Music Café between the theatre and the Faculty of Arts. You can listen to live
music performances of the students while drinking your coffee there. Our dormitory building is at the
end of College Road, near the park. Finally, when you cross the crosswalk, you will see the bus stop in
