“You’ve got to write badly. If you write badly at least you’ve got something to rewrite. If you’re scared to write badly, then you’ve got nothing.”

【「Very乜乜乜」的同義詞 】

有時 "very" 這字已經被人濫用，間接令到學生詞彙量減少！

"very good" 原來可以說成 "superb"，而 "very tasty" 可被 "deliicious" 代替。

請細讀下表。

當然，上述的並不是唯一的配搭，例如 very large 也可以寫成 huge；very hungry 又可以寫成 starving 等等。有些字大家可能未見過，用之前查一查字典便萬無一失。
