Important examples of venue in TOEIC

▪The conference will take place in a new place downtown.

Example of a confusing word: avenue (a wide street)

▪The conference will be held at a new avenue downtown.
▪The conference will take place on a new street downtown.
"Venue" refers to a location where an event is held, such as a hall or auditorium. In the sentence "The conference will be held at a new venue downtown," the word "venue" is used correctly to indicate the event location. "Avenue," however, refers to a type of street and is not suitable for describing a location for events. Saying "held at a new avenue" is grammatically incorrect because "avenue" does not function as an event location. Thus, "venue" is the correct choice.
