IELTS 20 Test 1: New York

These streets will make you feel brand new Big lights will inspire you
🎵

My full answer for this task is, sadly, behind the paywall at: https://boosty.to/irinalutsenko

Some comments:

1️⃣

New York districts are called boroughs—that's a useful lexical item for you.

2️⃣

Do people live in Manhattan or on Manhattan? Both—because Manhattan is a borough and an island. People live in boroughs but on islands. In my answer, I wrote "in."

3️⃣

I know "hundredfold" is on the fancy side, but I went ahead and used it anyway. It's not often that we get to use any "-fold"s other than maybe "twofold" or "tenfold."

Any other questions or suggestions for this task? ❓
