Band 8

I’d like to describe the public library in my neighbourhood in Curitiba, which I’ve enjoyed visiting for years. It’s about ten minutes from my house, tucked away beside a small park. I first got to know it at the age of ten, when my grandmother took me there to find books for a school project. I was rather shy back then, but the librarian was incredibly patient and showed me the children’s corner. These days the building looks old but well maintained. It has a glass front and a high ceiling, and inside there are long wooden tables where people read and study. Tall windows fill the room with natural light, even late in the afternoon. At weekends it also runs small events, such as a book club for teenagers and drawing classes for children. I usually go on Saturday mornings and stay for about three hours, and I always leave feeling that I’ve genuinely achieved something. The librarians know me by name now, which makes the place feel all the more welcoming. What I value most is how quiet it is, which lets me concentrate far better than I can at homeCleft sentence із relative clause, правильне й природне.
