We talked about hosting international sporting events e.g. the Olympics in our Speaking Class this week.
It's a topic that comes up in Writing and Speaking.
One of the benefits of hosting the Olympics in your city is that it attracts tourists and 'puts your city on the map'.
Meaning: to make (a place, a person, etc.) famous or well-known; to establish a place as being remarkable or noteworthy.
What put your town or city on the map?
There's a new Speaking Topics Takeaway in the Members Academy - review the vocab, grammar and typical questions related to the topic of SPORT and COMPETITION.
