Let’s solve this step by step using the map.

First, find where you are:
→ You’re at the museum (marked with “You’re here” on JFK Street).

Now, let’s figure out how to get to John’s house.

Looking at the map:
- John’s House is on Sun Street, between Hotel and Bank.
- To get there from the museum, you need to go up Rose Avenue.

Step-by-step directions:

1. From the museum, walk straight on JFK Street toward Rose Avenue? No — actually, you need to turn onto Rose Avenue first. But wait — the museum is right next to Rose Avenue? Let’s check:

Actually, looking again:
- Museum is on the corner of JFK Street and... it’s just south of Sun Street, east of Rose Avenue.
- So to get to John’s House (which is on Sun Street, north of the museum), you need to go north along Rose Avenue.

But the blank says:
“You are at the museum. To go to John’s house you have to go ________ and turn ________ to Rose Avenue.”

Wait — that doesn’t make sense if you’re already next to Rose Avenue. Maybe it means: go straight on JFK Street? But that would take you away.

Let me re-read carefully.

Actually, looking at the map layout:

The streets are:
- Top: Garden Street
- Middle: Sun Street
- Bottom: JFK Street

Vertical street: Rose Avenue (runs top to bottom)

Museum is on JFK Street, on the right side (east) of Rose Avenue.

John’s House is on Sun Street, also on the right side (east) of Rose Avenue — so same block, but one street north.

So from museum → go straight on (meaning continue forward) along JFK Street? No — that won’t help.

Wait — maybe “go straight on” means go forward in direction toward Rose Avenue? But you’re already beside it.

Perhaps the intended path is:

From museum → go left (west) along JFK Street to reach Rose Avenue? But that seems odd because you can just cross directly.

Alternatively, maybe the instruction assumes you start facing a certain way.

Let’s look at the blanks:

“You are at the museum. To go to John’s house you have to go ________ and turn ________ to Rose Avenue. Then you have to go ________ again and his house is on the ________, ________ the bank. ________ his house there is a cinema. His house is very big and comfortable.”

Let’s fill logically:

1. From museum, to get to Rose Avenue — since museum is east of Rose Ave, you need to go left (if facing north) or west to reach Rose Avenue.

But typically in these maps, we assume you’re facing the direction of travel.

Maybe better to think: from museum, walk west to Rose Avenue → that’s “go left” if you’re facing north? Confusing.

Alternative approach: use the key words.

Key words include: Opposite, Next to, Straight on, Right, Left, Behind, In front of.

Let’s trace the route:

Start at Museum (on JFK St, east side).

To get to John’s House (on Sun St, east side, north of museum):

→ Go straight on JFK Street? No, that goes east/west.

Actually, you need to go north — which means turning onto Rose Avenue and going up.

So perhaps:

From museum, go left (to face Rose Avenue?) — no.

Wait — maybe the first blank is “straight on” meaning proceed forward along your current street until you hit Rose Avenue? But you’re already at the intersection.

I think the intended answer is:

You are at the museum. To go to John’s house you have to go straight on (along JFK Street? Doesn't make sense) — let's try different logic.

Look at the position:

Museum is south of Sun Street, east of Rose Avenue.

John’s House is on Sun Street, east of Rose Avenue — so directly north of museum, across Sun Street.

So simplest path: go north on Rose Avenue? But you’re not on Rose Avenue yet.

Ah! Perhaps you need to cross to Rose Avenue first.

From museum, go left (west) to Rose Avenue → then turn right (north) onto Rose Avenue → go straight on Rose Avenue to Sun Street → then John’s House is on the right, next to the bank. And opposite his house there is a cinema.

Yes! That fits.

Confirming:

- From museum (on JFK St, east side), go left (west) to reach Rose Avenue.
- Turn right (now heading north on Rose Avenue).
- Go straight on Rose Avenue until you reach Sun Street.
- John’s House is on the right side of Rose Avenue (since it’s east side), and it’s next to the bank (bank is to its right? Wait — looking at map:

On Sun Street, from left to right (west to east):
- Cinema, Theatre (south side? Wait no — let's clarify orientation.

Actually, the map shows:

Top row (Garden Street level): Pub, Garden, Hotel, Market

Middle row (Sun Street level): Bakery, Church, John’s House, Bank — wait no:

Looking again:

The blocks are divided by streets.

Between Garden Street and Sun Street:
Left block: Pub, Bakery; Garden (vertical); then right block: Hotel, John’s House; Market, Bank

Between Sun Street and JFK Street:
Left block: School, Church, Post Office; then right block: Cinema, Theatre; Restaurant, Museum

Rose Avenue runs vertically through the middle.

So for Sun Street level (between Garden and JFK):

West of Rose Ave:
- North part: ? Actually, the yellow boxes:

Above Sun Street (between Garden and Sun):
- West: Pub (top-left), Bakery (bottom-left)
- East: Hotel (top-right), John’s House (bottom-right) — wait no:

Actually, reading the map:

In the grid:

Row 1 (top, under Garden Street):
- Left: PUB, BAKERY (stacked vertically)
- Then GARDEN (vertical strip)
- Then HOTEL, JOHN’S HOUSE (stacked)
- Then MARKET, BANK (stacked)

Row 2 (under Sun Street):
- Left: SCHOOL, CHURCH, POST OFFICE (SCHOOL vertical, then CHURCH and POST OFFICE stacked)
- Then CINEMA, THEATRE (stacked)
- Then RESTAURANT, MUSEUM (stacked)

And Rose Avenue is the vertical line separating left and right halves.

So John’s House is in the top-right quadrant, below Hotel, above... nothing, it’s between Garden and Sun Streets.

Specifically, John’s House is on the south side of Garden Street? No — it’s between Garden and Sun Streets, on the east side of Rose Avenue.

Similarly, Museum is between Sun and JFK Streets, on the east side of Rose Avenue.

So to go from Museum to John’s House:

- They are both east of Rose Avenue.
- Museum is south of Sun Street.
- John’s House is north of Sun Street (between Garden and Sun).

So you need to cross Sun Street.

Path: From Museum, go north — which means go up along the east side of Rose Avenue? But there’s no street labeled there.

Actually, you can walk north directly? But the map implies you follow streets.

Best path:
From Museum, go left (west) to Rose Avenue → turn right (north) onto Rose Avenue → go straight on Rose Avenue past Sun Street → then John’s House is on the right (east side), and it’s next to the bank? Wait, bank is further east.

Looking at positions on Sun Street level (but John’s House is actually on the block between Garden and Sun Streets).

On the block between Garden and Sun Streets, east of Rose Avenue:
- Top: HOTEL
- Bottom: JOHN’S HOUSE
- To the right of that: MARKET (top), BANK (bottom)

So John’s House is directly west of Bank? Or south of Hotel?

Actually, John’s House is adjacent to Bank? Let's see:

If we consider the grid:

Columns:
1. Westmost: Pub/Bakery/School/etc.
2. Garden (vertical)
3. Hotel/John’s House / Cinema/Theatre
4. Market/Bank / Restaurant/Museum

Rows:
- Row A: Garden Street level: Pub, Garden, Hotel, Market
- Row B: Between Garden and Sun: Bakery, (Garden continues), John’s House, Bank
- Row C: Sun Street level: School, Church, Cinema, Restaurant
- Row D: Between Sun and JFK: Post Office, (nothing?), Theatre, Museum
- Row E: JFK Street level: ...

This is messy. Better to simplify.

From the map visually:

- Museum is at bottom-right corner of the map area.
- John’s House is in the upper-middle-right, above the cinema.

To get from museum to John’s house:

Go west to Rose Avenue → go north on Rose Avenue to Sun Street → continue north to the block where John’s House is.

But John’s House is not on Sun Street — it’s on the block between Garden and Sun Streets.

The address might be considered "on" the street it faces.

Typically in such maps, buildings are said to be "on" the street they border.

So John’s House borders Sun Street to the south and Garden Street to the north? Or only one?

Looking at the label placement: "JOHN’S HOUSE" is written in the box that is between Garden Street and Sun Street, so it likely faces Sun Street.

Similarly, Museum faces JFK Street.

So to go from Museum (facing JFK Street) to John’s House (facing Sun Street):

- Walk north along the east side? But no street.

Standard interpretation: you walk along the streets.

So: from Museum, go west on JFK Street to Rose Avenue → turn north on Rose Avenue → go straight on Rose Avenue past Sun Street → then John’s House is on the right (east side) after you pass Sun Street? But you passed it.

Actually, when you are on Rose Avenue going north, after passing Sun Street, the next block has John’s House on the right.

And it is next to the bank? The bank is to the east of John’s House, so yes, adjacent.

Also, opposite John’s House is the cinema — cinema is on the west side of Rose Avenue, same latitude as John’s House, so yes, opposite.

Perfect.

So filling the blanks:

"You are at the museum. To go to John’s house you have to go left and turn right to Rose Avenue. Then you have to go straight on again and his house is on the right, next to the bank. Opposite his house there is a cinema."

Check:

- Go left: from museum, go west to Rose Avenue.
- Turn right: now heading north on Rose Avenue.
- Go straight on: continue north past Sun Street.
- His house is on the right: east side of Rose Avenue.
- Next to the bank: bank is immediately east of John’s House? In the map, John’s House and Bank are in the same column? No.

Looking back:

In the grid between Garden and Sun Streets:

East of Rose Avenue:
- Left part: Hotel (north), John’s House (south)
- Right part: Market (north), Bank (south)

So John’s House is west of Bank? Or are they side by side?

Actually, they are in adjacent columns. So John’s House is to the west of Bank, so not directly next to unless "next to" means adjacent horizontally.

In common usage, "next to" can mean adjacent.

Also, cinema is directly west of John’s House, across Rose Avenue, so opposite.

Yes.

Now for the questions:

1. Where’s the museum?
→ On JFK Street, next to the restaurant, behind the theatre? Or simply: on JFK Street, east of Rose Avenue.

But based on map: it's on JFK Street, in the southeast corner.

Answer: The museum is on JFK Street, next to the restaurant.

2. Where the pub?
→ On Garden Street, west of Garden, above the bakery.

Answer: The pub is on Garden Street, next to the garden.

3. Is the cinema next to the bakery?
Cinema is on the east side of Rose Avenue, between Sun and JFK Streets. Bakery is on the west side, between Garden and Sun Streets. Not adjacent. So no.

Answer: No, the cinema is not next to the bakery.

4. Is the bank opposite the restaurant?
Bank is on the east side, between Garden and Sun Streets. Restaurant is on the east side, between Sun and JFK Streets. Same side, different streets. Opposite would mean across the street. Across from bank is John’s House? No.

Opposite usually means across the street.

Bank is on the south side of the block between Garden and Sun? Let's define.

Assume each building faces the street.

Bank faces Sun Street to the south? Or Garden Street to the north?

Typically, in such maps, the building is placed in the block and faces the nearest street.

But for "opposite", it means across the street.

Restaurant is on the east side, between Sun and JFK Streets, so it faces Sun Street to the north or JFK to the south? Probably faces Sun Street.

Bank is on the east side, between Garden and Sun Streets, so it faces Sun Street to the south.

So both face Sun Street, but on the same side? No — if they are both on the east side of Rose Avenue, and Sun Street runs east-west, then buildings on the south side of Sun Street face north, and on the north side face south.

This is complicated.

From the map layout:

- Bank is in the block north of Sun Street (between Garden and Sun), so it is on the north side of Sun Street.
- Restaurant is in the block south of Sun Street (between Sun and JFK), so on the south side of Sun Street.

Therefore, they are on opposite sides of Sun Street, and if aligned, could be opposite.

Are they aligned? Bank is in the easternmost column, restaurant is also in the easternmost column, so yes, directly across Sun Street from each other.

So yes, the bank is opposite the restaurant.

Answer: Yes.

5. Where’s the restaurant?
On Sun Street, east of Rose Avenue, next to the cinema? Or on JFK Street? It's between Sun and JFK, so probably on Sun Street or JFK.

Label is in the box between Sun and JFK, so likely faces Sun Street.

Answer: The restaurant is on Sun Street, next to the museum.

Now, compiling all answers.

Final Answer:

Fill-in-the-blanks:
You are at the museum. To go to John’s house you have to go left and turn right to Rose Avenue. Then you have to go straight on again and his house is on the right, next to the bank. Opposite his house there is a cinema. His house is very big and comfortable.

Questions:
1. The museum is on JFK Street, next to the restaurant.
2. The pub is on Garden Street, next to the garden.
3. No, the cinema is not next to the bakery.
4. Yes, the bank is opposite the restaurant.
5. The restaurant is on Sun Street, next to the museum.

Note: For question 2, "where the pub?" should be "Where is the pub?" but we answer as is.

Also, for consistency, use simple terms.

Let me write the final answer clearly.
