RAISE THE BAR
Let’s bring some color into your (Business) English right now. I know you know the words ‘increase’ and ‘decrease’. But you can do better. Let’s try some of these alternatives:
INCREASE:🆙
Skyrocket
Surge
Peak
Rise
DECREASE:⬇️
Crash
Slump
Fade
Diminish
All of these words add a strong visual in the minds of the people you’re speaking to. It sounds so much cooler to say ‘Our sales skyrocketed this quarter‘ instead of ‘Our sales increased this quarter’. Your clients can picture that rocket taking off – and a picture is worth a thousand words, right?
BETTER WORDS KEEP YOUR MESSAGE TOP OF MIND
You need to get your English interesting in order to have an impact.
If you are using the same words over and over again, you will sound (and feel!) like a broken record. The more vocabulary choices you have, the better you can truly express yourself.
SORRY NOT SORRY 🥳
And no, my dear, I’m not going to tell you what the words above mean. You can use this website and figure it out for yourself (or download their free app – it’s fantastic!).
USE IT OR LOSE IT ✅
Why not write a sentence of your own with 2 (or hey, YOLO- go for 4!) words in it right now? This will get you active and jumpstart your Colorful English Engine! Just reading is not enough, my dear.
I hope now your English vocabulary level has expanded with this boost! Now your knowledge is becoming maximised, which will result in an upgraded intensification of your communicative skills. (And yes, I see what I did there!)
Stay colorful today!
Liefs,
Buffi
