How often does the teacher notice the repetition of this word and never tend to change any thing about it?
How often does the teacher teach her students to use more sophisticated and attractive words in their writings and avoiding repetition?
Well as you can notice above, a picture that is titled "45 Ways To Avoid Using the Word VERY". This picture attracted my attention because I used to suffer from this problem when my students used the word "very" a lot in their writings. I used to help them to use other words and avoid this repetition, but I didn't know this much of words that could be used instead. So I wanted to share this picture with other teachers to benefit from it and teach their students to use a variety of words that would enhance their writings. Having a piece of writing that has a lot of repeated words makes it less cohesive and coherent, ad it makes it fragmented and hard to be understood. Whereas when a variety of words are being used, you would notice that your student is knowledgeable about what he / she is writing, and that they have acquired the skill of writing in a very developed way.
the list of the words offered in this table is very rich but it's a shame that most people mistaken such heavy words with vintage classic, and maybe outdated words. and the most sad part is that they think the short updated ones are good enough to convey the same meaning. in fact it's not the size of the word that matters, rather it's impact on the ears and it's soundness in the talk once used.
