Well its a good first map.

Some points of improvement:

• Use texture lights
• Turn detail geometry into func_walls, this will decrease compile time and fix ugly shadows.
• Never have dead ends in your map, always make sure there are two or more exits from a room or hallway.
• Don't stretch texture to much, this will look ugly. If you're gonna stretch, then stretch both the X and Y axis.

Think thats all.

May I say what are texture lights?

and thanks!

Instead of using an entity "point light," use a texture that looks like something that would let off light. The game will make the texture give off light in-game.

ahh ok thanks but its to dark...

Then adjust the brightness.

Open up valve.rad in notepad or something like that, and you'll see stuff this:

TEXTURENAME 255 128 128 8000

Where TEXTURENAME is the name of the texture.
255 128 128 is the color, in RGB (Red Green Blue) format.
The fifth part, 8000, is the brightness.

So you if your map is too dark, find the texturenames in the valve.rad file and enter a higher brightness value.

Ahh ok... ill try that and thanks
