number one on the list is Very Quick -
you could say RAPID rapid rapid
the stress is on the first part of the word
/ra-puhd/ you can't make rapid decisions when it comes to making
investments of course with investments, you can't be
rapid after all it's money at stake so that was rapid
Next up at number two Very Perfect
I'm sure we all say this all the time you could instead say FLAWLESS
/flaw-luhs/ something that's without any imperfection or fault
is flawless flawless, flawless
Eg - The room service at the hotel is flawless it's relatively
rapid. At number three we have Very Shy, you can say
TIMID the pronunciation is /ti-muhd/ timid, one more time
timid, excellent! Eg. She's timid and lacks confidence while meeting
new people that's timid. Number four
Very Thirsty - you can say I am Parched
parched the pronunciation is parched it's a one-syllable word
parched you don't pronounce -ed at the end of the word you say a
soft /t/ sound. Say it with me
parched parched after an hour-long run in the park
i was totally parched and exhausted next up we have
very hurt how can you replace this basic english word
you can say i was battered battered when you are significantly hurt
you are battered that's battered for example her angry words
battered his feelings deeply battered number six
very open you could replace it with
transparent that's transparent i was hoping
you could consider my suggestions with a transparent mind i am sure
we would reach an agreement soon transparent
up next is very powerful you could instead say compelling
the pronunciation is compelling compelling one more time compelling
something that has a strong reason to believe
is compelling an argument or a movie can be
compelling i found the whole movie compelling i don't mind watching it
again eight very shiny
we can replace it with gleaming that's gleaming gleaming
it's simple anything that's smooth and shiny is gleaming
it's a better word to use instead of very
shiny the car was gleaming after a wax polish
it seemed as if it was new at number nine
we have very talented you can say gifted
gifted an example ron is a uniquely gifted singer
his voice adds magic to the lyrics gifted do you know someone who is
uniquely gifted with some talent let me know in the comments
