okay everyone is here

everybody is ready let's look at today's

lesson

boards uh-oh sorry

i gotta take my escalation picture away

okay this is what we're going to

practice today

part one today uh will be which words to

try to

cut in your writing to improve your

vocabulary

this is the tip for beginners everybody

can use this tip

two and three the first or rather the

second tip

we're going to talk about is called

faulty parallelism don't worry about the

name

the important part is to remember uh

what you need to avoid in this error

part three we're going to talk about

another more advanced mistake

the dangling modifier again i know that

sounds weird like what is that

we're going to learn this in today's

lesson so let's begin let's begin now

with our beginner tip okay so

first tip for today is to improve your

writing

and build your vocabulary so this is

something

it i said beginner tip but actually this

is a tip for

everybody i need to use this tip

sometimes

everybody every level can use this tip

this tip is try

not to use words like these so i made a

list

of six words they are very

pretty really so quite

rather and there are some other words

too

so when i say pretty i don't mean like

when we want to say a flower is pretty

or a person is pretty i don't mean that

when we say something is pretty exciting

or pretty cheap

or pretty expensive that use of pretty

same thing with so when you use so

to mean extremely so

these words a challenge for you and your

writing is to try

not to use these words so

why because these words are very

these words are very common right so we

use these a lot

to emphasize the adjective

or the adverb that comes next what

should you do

to work on improving your writing and

your vocabulary

find one word that means the same

thing as one of the above

plus an adjective or an adverb so what

am i talking about what does this mean

for example let's look at some examples

very fast so very is a word on this list

and we have fast and adjective yeah so

a good way to practice is to think about

it when you're writing this is hard to

in speech but when you're writing and

you see

like oh i wrote very fast think about

how you can put these two words together

so what is one word that means very fast

for example rapid so rapid is one word

that means

very fast right so this is a really

good exercise to learn new words

and to make your writing more efficient

and like to build your vocabulary so

this is a super helpful tip

for writers of all levels everybody can

use this

okay let's look at some other examples

of ways we can do this

here's another one really big so really

big this

is common yeah really big one word that

means really big

is huge huge and again these are not the

only words

that mean these things it's just an

example so you can build your vocabulary

and practice them quite far quite

far a one one word that means quite far

distant for example

pretty cheap pretty cheap something that

is pretty

cheap is affordable yeah so one word

instead of two

and the word is more advanced than just

these two

something that is so scary so scary

is terrifying or horrifying

something that is rather difficult is

tough yeah so these are the six words

on this list there are other words that

you can do this same exercise with

but i think this is a good place to

start so again

consider how you can make two words into

one word

so i know you might think how do i do

this like i don't know this word

how do i choose this word how do i know

here's a two-step process you can try

to work on this step one use

a thesaurus to look for a new word

what's a thesaurus you might not know

what a thesaurus is

a thesaurus is a collection of words

like a dictionary you can look up you

can search for

a word in the thesaurus but you don't

find the meaning

of the word in a thesaurus instead you

find

other words with similar or the same

meaning

as that word there are lots of words

that have similar meanings

so thesaurus thesauruses are very useful

it's actually hard to say

so you do this so for example when you

write this word

fast you might think ah fast that's a

really simple

basic word what's a word that means fast

check a thesaurus online there are

online ones

and look for another word so a problem

though

that many writers and learners encounter

they find out a new word in the

thesaurus and they think i can use this

word

but we have to understand the nuances

like the detailed meanings of these

words how do we do that

so step two after you find a new word

you think you want to use from the

thesaurus

check the meaning in a dictionary so

that means just take that word take your

new word and put it in the dictionary

search tool online or check it in your

physical dictionary

to see what the meaning is so in this

way

you can build your vocabulary naturally

through your writing

and you become more efficient okay

so this is our first tip for today this

is the tip for everyone

to use so i hope that this is helpful

for you

okay so check it out try to remove

these words there are other words you

can try to remove as well

if you want a super challenge you can

try removing

just as in very recently that's another

good one to do

so give this a try everybody can try

this i'm going to try to do this

in my writing too removing these words

okay

i'm looking for your questions uh

some of you are making example sentences

uh with

new book these new vocabulary words

fantastic

arshad says what is the difference

between suddenly

and rapid well something that is

rapid rapid is an adjective suddenly is

adverb so something suddenly happened

but

rapid describes someone's movement or

something's movement

so the train is a rapid train

it moves quickly but the train suddenly

moved there are different

parts of speech okay
