和最熟悉的VERY說再見吧~對母語人士來說,very這個字在語言表達並不夠精準

First and foremost, get rid of the word VERY 戒斷使用very這個字 (How to diversify your speech)

1.  I am wearing a lot of layers today because it's VERY COLD outside.

-> I am wearing a lot of layers today because it's FREEZING outside.

to wear a lot of layers 代表穿了超多件衣服,中文我們可能會形容穿得像雪人、愛斯基摩人一樣吧哈哈哈~

2. say goodbye to VERY GOOD

->(1) splendid (2) great (3) terrific (4) lit (spoken form, colloquial) (5) excellent (6) brilliant (7) wonderful 

3. farewell to VERY CUTE

->(1) adorable (2) admirable(注意發音喔!跟admire唸法可是不一樣的喔!)(3) lovely (4) 

4.母語人士會說very的狀況:後面遇到v,w 開頭的字

eg. very wide, very weak, very warm, 

5. VERY COLD

-> (1) freezing (2) chilly (3) frosty 

6. VERY TIRED

-> (1) exhausted (2) sleepy (3) distressed 

7. VERY CLEAN

-> (1) spotless

/

8. Replace very with other words

->(1) EXTREMELY beautiful

   (2) HIGHLY competitive

   (3) AWFULLY cold

   (4) SUPER friendly, SUPER cute

   (5) TERRIBLY nice, TERRIVBLY hot

        褒貶都可搭,有點像是中文的「慘了」雙面用法,我愛慘了、他考試考慘了

   (6) UNUSUALLY smart, UNUSUALLY beautiful
