Good morning, good afternoon and good evening! Welcome to Smashing English. I do hope you
enjoyed that introduction, something a little bit different, I feel like my calling in life is now
to become a rapper. So if you don't see me again on this channel it's because I have gone to follow
my rap dreams. As you can probably guess from the video, today's video is all about the word
nice. I've been an English teacher for quite a while now and I hear the word nice all the time,
people use it for everything. Don't get me wrong, I like the word nice. It's a nice word. But it's
just a bit boring! And it's very vague, you know? I don't know if you're talking about,
whether someone is good looking, whether someone is polite, whether someone was generous to you,
whether a food is really delicious, whether it was just okay, it's so vague!
So the point of my little rap was just to introduce you to a bunch of different
words that you can use instead of nice. It's all about being specific. Think about the context,
think about what you actually want to say. Are you looking at someone and thinking,
'wow she's beautiful'? If that's the case, then choose a word like beautiful, attractive.
Not just nice. Or if you're talking to someone and you think wow this person is so kind,
they're so warm, they're so friendly, they're so loving, use one of those words instead. Because
actually native speakers, we do use the word nice but I think the word nice is kind of like -
you know? It's a word that you would use if something wasn't great, it wasn't fantastic,
it wasn't awful, it wasn't the worst thing ever, it was just somewhere in the middle.
"We went out for a meal, it was nice, yeah," Do you know what I mean? It's
just a bit - but if you can, please try to learn some alternatives to this word.
Challenge yourself! Don't just stick to what you know. If you just stay in your safe little
house where you know the word nice and that's about it, you're not really going to progress.
