Part 4: Read the passage and choose the best answer. (1pt)
Imagine a city that's steeped in history. Now think of a city that is vibrant and
modern. Maybe you think no city can be both, but you'd be wrong. Istanbul, the
most well-known city in Turkey, manages to combine both ancient traditions with a
lively, contemporary feel.
Being the only city in the world that is situated on two continents, Istanbul is
clearly something special. On the legendary Silk Route that once linked Asia and
Europe and the capital of many different civilisations in the past, Istanbul has a
cultural diversity that few cities can offer. It remains to this day a welcoming place
for thousands of people that come to visit it each year.
Before you start thinking the city is touristy, Istanbul has more than just historic
monuments. Alongside its fabulous mosques and palaces, you can find cool art
galleries and trendy cafes. In fact, there is so much variety that you can always find
something that suits your mood. If shopping is more your scene, you can head to
the Grand Bazaar with its thousands of stalls, or visit the many shopping centres
and fashion stores. At night the streets are bustling with life and you're spoilt for
choice for places to eat and drink.
Quite frankly, Istanbul should be on any list of the world's most liveable cities for
its unique beauty and character. But don't just take my word for it. Come and see
for yourself. You might just end up staying, like many have before!

There is a list of interesting jobs that we'll never have again, and a town crier is, of
course, on the list. It's been a long time since town criers worked professionally, so
there are not many people knowing who town Criers were. Today we can only see
them in the movies or at some old tourist sites. Before newspapers were invented, a
town crier, who was usually an older gentleman with a booming voice, always
dressed officially and had a little bell which he carried with him always. His job was
to go through city streets ringing the bell and shouting the latest news as he was
walking.
The occupation of the town crier was quickly replaced by radio, television, texting,
internet, and all the marvels of modem technology. Today this occupatiơn exists
only for entertaining purposes and as local folklore. Competitions for the best town
criers are still being held in some parts of the world like America, Australia, Canada
and England.
