Introduction

Many rich people are spending money on luxury hotels and shops in London. This happens even though the world economy is not stable.

Main Body

Rich people from other countries are buying hotels in London. For example, a company from the UAE is spending £1.1 billion on two places in Mayfair. They want to build bigger and better rooms for guests. Some people from the Middle East do not visit London right now because of wars. However, many people from America and Europe still visit. They want to stay in expensive hotels. Luxury shops are also very expensive now. Bond Street is the most expensive street for shops in the world. The rent is very high because there are not many shops available.

Conclusion

London is still a top city for rich people to spend their money on hotels and shops.

💰 The 'Comparing' Tool

In this text, we see how to describe things that are 'more' than others. This is how you move from A1 to A2 English.

1. Making things 'Better' When we compare two things, we often add -er to the end of a short word.

  • Big →\rightarrow Bigger
  • Better (This is a special word! It doesn't follow the rule)

Example from text: "They want to build bigger and better rooms."

2. The 'Top' Level When something is the #1 in the world, we use The most [word].

  • Expensive →\rightarrow The most expensive

Example from text: "Bond Street is the most expensive street... in the world."
