Let’s begin you’re really ready to start something now the next three are
alternative ways of saying to be
Excited because using the same word over and over again can be quite boring and it can be quite repetitive
Especially if you’re doing a writing exam, and you want to find different ways of saying things, so I’ve got three alternatives
They’re not always exact matches, but they’re near enough
So the first one is to be thrilled this means to be really really happy
but if I say I am
So excited to announce that I’m the presenter I could also say I’m so thrilled to announce
I’m so happy to announce that I’m the presenter you can also say
Elated I am so elated to announce that I’m the presenter or also delighted
I am delighted to announce so those are the so those are three really nice
Alternatives if you don’t want to repeat excited and really happy over and over and over again
That will help you expand your vocabulary a little bit the last one relates a little bit to
To be pumped and this one is to be fired up and ready to go imagine before a race all the athletes are there
