1
Do you find you use the same words over and over again?
2
To reach a high level of English fluency for your IELTS, job interviews, meetings, or simply your daily life,
3
you need a broad range of vocabulary.
4
One of the easiest ways to quickly improve your English level is to learn synonyms.
5
Synonyms are simply different words that have the same or similar meanings.
6
Today, you'll learn 80 synonyms you can start using today.
7
Welcome back to J4S English.
8
Of course, I'm Jennifer.
9
Now let's get started.
10
In this lesson, you'll see a common word you may be familiar with like show,
11
and then you'll learn a synonym that is more formal and more professional like demonstrate.
12
You can specifically use these synonyms in more formal and professional situations.
13
Now, often words have different meanings.
14
So this synonym is used when displaying or providing something often in presentations or studies,
15
which is commonly talked about in the workplace and on your IELTS.
16
So of course you can say the data clearly showed the trend, but to use the synonym, the data clearly demonstrated the trend.
17
It instantly sounds more professional.
18
And learning these synonyms will also help you understand natives.
19
Don't worry about taking these notes because I summarize everything in a free lesson PDF.
20
You can find the link in the description.
21
Now let's review mostly and predominantly.
22
This is used to describe something that happens or exists in most cases and is common in academic and professional context.
23
You can say the area is mostly residential,
24
so the largest part, or the area is predominantly residential.
25
And I hope you're thinking I predominantly watch Jay Forrest's English lessons.
26
Of course, you watch others, but mine make up the most, the largest part.
27
So if that's true, put that's right, that's right, put that's right in the comments.
28
Now let's review improve and enhance.
29
This is used to make something better, especially design quality or experience.
30
For example, they improve the design of the product.
31
They enhanced the design of the product.
32
It instantly sounds more polished.
33
My days improved.
34
We should enhance this.
35
Instead of saying, think about, you can use consider.
36
And of course, this is used when reflecting on options thoughtfully
37
so you're giving a lot of thought you can use this
38
as advice you should think about all the options before accepting
39
the job for example you should consider you should consider all the options
40
so maybe you're learning the synonym and the common word at the exact time in this lesson.
41
And that's amazing.
42
So just like before, let's review say and state.
43
But this is used when expressing something verbally or in writing.
44
For example, he said his opinion clearly.
45
He stated his opinion clearly.
46
You will hear the word state most commonly in written form
47
stating she would be in contact there she said she's fine now let's review talk about
48
and the synonym discuss so of course this is used to have a conversation
49
or explanation about something let's talk about the next steps I see
50
that every single day but I can also say
51
and frequently do let's discuss the next steps
52
so to be honest the common word is the one
53
that i use more frequently however there are many times where
54
i don't want to use a common word i want to sound more advanced
55
or professional so having these synonyms in your vocabulary is so important Let's review live and reside.
56
Do you know this one?
57
Notice that pronunciation.
58
Reside.
59
The voiced sound.
60
Reside.
61
This is of course used for where someone lives, but it's often used in a legal or official context.
62
But you can simply say, he lives in a quiet neighborhood and in an In everyday context, he resides in a quiet neighborhood.
63
let's review change and modify now this is used
64
while making a small or precise change so
65
if i want to make it sound like the changes i made were smaller
66
because i don't want to offend someone that i changed their design
67
or document i might say modify
68
so you can say the policy was changed last year that's ambiguous we don't know how big
69
or small the changes were the policy was modified last year.
70
It sounds like small changes were made.
71
Reduce already sounds advanced, but you can also say minimize, minimize.
72
This is used when lowering something as much as possible.
73
So efforts were made to reduce the risk.
74
Of course, you want to reduce the risk.
75
Efforts were made to minimize the risk.
76
To me, this sounds even smaller.
77
Minimize the risk.
78
Reducing swelling.
79
I like to minimize risk.
80
Let's review stop and cease.
81
Cease is used when ending an action, but it's often in writing or commands.
82
So the police may tell you to cease something, or a lawyer might tell you to cease something.
83
But you can use it in everyday context and say the noise stopped suddenly, the noise ceased suddenly.
84

91
Now let's continue with our lesson.
92
Let's review try and attempt.
93
Attempt is used when making an effort, especially serious effort.
94
So you can say he tried to solve the puzzle.
95
He attempted to solve the puzzle.
96
To me, this sounds like he was more serious about it.
97
The effort he put was stronger.
98
He spent more time.
99
He attempted to solve the puzzle.
100
Maybe they tried and they couldn't.
101
I didn't say that.
102
You know, they make attempts.
103
Get better is the everyday word I use if I want to sound a little more formal or professional, or if I'm discussing something with a medical provider,
104
I might use recover instead, which is used when health or a specific condition improves.
105
So he got better quickly from the flu.
106
So got is the past simple of get, of course.
107
He recovered quickly from the flu.
108
So the synonym is what a medical provider or a health care provider would use.
109
Now, the opposite, get worse, and the opposite of the synonym, deteriorate, deteriorate.
110
So this is used when health or conditions decline.
111
Her health got worse over time.
112
To sound more official, professional, formal, her health deteriorated over time.
113
It's gotten worse.
114
Things are deteriorating.
115
Now, you can use think carefully, or you can use contemplate, contemplate.
116
So this is used when deeply thinking about something.
117
She thought carefully about moving abroad.
118
She contemplated moving abroad.
119
So to me, one, it sounds more formal, and two, it sounds like the thought behind it is more serious as well.
120
Instead of saying make better, you can use refine, which sounds refined.
121
So this is used to improve something in detail or precision.
122
The process was made better for efficiency.
123
The process was refined for efficiency.
124
So the details of the process were improved, changed, modified.
125
And the reason was for efficiency.
126
Make better answers.
127
Find it into carbon dust.
128
Get rid of is part of my daily vocabulary, but I also use eliminate as a synonym.
129
And of course this is used to remove something unwanted and to permanently remove something.
130
So they got rid of wasteful spending.
131
So got is the past simple of get.
132
Now, because this sounds more formal, maybe a government got rid of wasteful spending,
133
it would sound more professional to use the word eliminate and say they eliminated wasteful spending.
134
But I would get rid of old clothes because that is the more casual every day in a general context.
135
Let's review check and verify.
136
So this is used when confirming something often in technical or official contexts.
137
Please check your email address, but please verify your email address.
138
You're checking it to make sure it's correct.
139
So check is more ambiguous and then verify is specific.
140
You're checking for a specific purpose to make sure there are no spelling mistakes
141
or that it's the most recent email address now instead of use up you can use deplete
142
and this is an excellent word to have in your vocabulary especially in the context of resources
143
and when they're used completely So this can be with environment, energy, or even money.
144
The project used up their budget.
145
So used completely.
146
There's no budget available.
147
The project depleted their budget.
148
You may know this one from all your police dramas on TV.
149
Instead of tell the truth, you can use confess confess and this is used
150
when admitting something often related to guilt or honesty
151
so he told the truth about the mistake he confessed to the mistake
152
so it sounds like he was forced to do it maybe internally
153
because of guilt or externally
154
because of threat of punishment he confessed to the mistake of course you hear
155
that on tv a lot now instead of big you can use significant
156
but this is used to describe something important large in size
157
or with a strong effect not the size of something
158
so this shirt i could say is big on me i
159
wouldn't say this shirt is significant on me it doesn't work like that.
160
But you can say the study showed a big increase in temperature.
161
The study showed a significant increase in temperature.
162
So the amount of the increase is large.
163
So you can use significant.
164
We found significant differences.
165
It's a big difference.
166
And let's review small and minor.
167
This is used for something not very important or very small in significance.
168
Again, not a t -shirt.
169
So you might say there was a small delay in the delivery, but small in terms of the significance or importance.
170
There was a minor delay in the delivery.
171
You already know this one.
172
Instead of great, you can say excellent, but it's a reminder to use it
173
because even myself although i know many synonyms for great i still use great most of the time
174
so it's a reminder that we can use other words
175
when we want to sound more formal more professional
176
or simply just express a broader range of vocabulary
177
so of course this describes a higher quality
178
or something stronger he gave a great presentation at the conference make
179
that sound a little stronger she gave an excellent presentation at the conference now this is a synonym
180
but excellent to me does sound better than great so just keep
181
that mind that they're similar and the opposite we could say bad and detrimental detrimental,
182
but not bad in the sense of he gave a bad presentation.
183
Bad to describe something as harmful, and this is often used with health or policy related.
184
So for health, smoking has bad effects on health.
185
Bad is very common.
186
To sound more advanced, you should absolutely say smoking has detrimental effects on health.
187
Using that in a presentation, job interview, IELTS, or daily life will make you sound very advanced.
188
Now instead of saying something is easy, you can say it's effortless.
189
So of course this is used when something requires a little effort or it just feels natural.
190
The transition was easy.
191
So maybe the transition to a new job or from one strategy to another, the transition was easy.
192
The transition was effortless.
193
Effortless.
194
that was easy effective but effortless instead of hard describe something as challenging
195
so of course this is used when something is difficult
196
but positive or encouraging for example climbing the mountain was a hard task
197
that sounds more negative it sounds like a lot of effort and in negative way.
198
But if I say climbing the mountain was a challenging task, it sounds hard, yes, because challenging is not easy,
199
but we use it in a more positive way.
200
It was challenging and I enjoyed the challenge.
201
Instead of look at, you can use observe.
202
So this is used when watching carefully and is often used in science or analysis.
203
Scientists looked at the behavior of the animals.
204
It sounds a lot more professional and also technical and precise to say scientists observed the behavior of the animals.
205
Now let's review show up and appear.
206
This is used when something becomes visible or present.
207
For example, a rainbow showed up in the sky.
208
To sound more professional, a rainbow appeared in the sky.
209
But I would personally use show up for people appearing because it sounds more natural.
210
Now let's review go and proceed.
211
This is used when continuing or moving forward often in instructions
212
so in instruction someone might say
213
or write please go to the next page it sounds more professional to say please proceed to the next page
214
let's review raise and elevate so this is used when lifting or increasing something and sometimes is used metaphorically.
215
So for example, he raised the discussion to a new level.
216
So he elevated the discussion to a new level.
217
In this context, elevated sounds like a very professional and advanced choice.
218
Now let's review fall and decline.
219
So this is used when something decreases, is often in reports
220
so there was a sharp fall in demand there was a sharp decline in demand you'll see
221
that in economic and financial news instead of famous you can say prominent
222
so this is used to describe someone or something well known or important in a particular area she is a famous author.
223
She is a prominent author, but maybe it's in a specific area.
224
Instead of increased, you can use boost.
225
Boost.
226
So this is used when something gets bigger and it implies a sharp or helpful increase.
227
So marketing strategies increased the company's sales.
228
So that was helpful marketing strategies boosted the company's sales instead of need you can use require
229
when something is necessary so most jobs need computer skills most jobs require computer skills
230
but remember in a day -to -day context i need help you don't need to say i require help
231
so keep in mind when you use these synonyms.
232
Instead of ask, inquire.
233
So this is when requesting information and often in business or writing.
234
She asked about the job opening.
235
That's perfectly fine.
236
She inquired about the job opening.
237
Sounds more professional and formal.
238
Instead of work, operate in a specific context when something functions and is often technical or professional.
239
So the system works smoothly.
240
In this context, work isn't, I work every day.
241
I wouldn't say, I operate every day.
242
But the system operates smoothly.
243
So works in the way it's supposed to.
244
Instead of end, you can say conclude.
245
So this is when finishing something common in reports or speeches.
246
The meeting will end at noon.
247
That sounds wonderful.
248
It sounds what native speakers mostly use.
249
But in a more formal context or certain context, you can say the meeting will conclude at noon.
250
But I wouldn't ask my colleague, when does the meeting conclude?
251
This sounds a little too formal in that context.
252
But if I'm presenting, I might say, let's conclude after the next slide that's the end
253
that concludes this meeting instead of give you can use provide
254
when offering something the teacher gave clear instructions the teacher provided clear instructions instead of keep how about retain
255
so this is to hold or not lose something common in work
256
or legal context employees may keep unused vacation days but But because this is more of a policy,
257
a legal policy for the company, it sounds more professional to say employees may retain unused vacation days.
258
Instead of a lot, you can use frequently.
259
So to describe something happening many times or often, she goes to the gym a lot.
260
I'm sure you use the word a lot, a lot.
261
she frequently goes to the gym
262
but notice the placement there right before the main verb she
263
frequently goes to the gym instead of a long time an extended time
264
so this is used to describe a duration
265
that lasts for a significant amount of time they waited for a long time they waited for an extended time.
266
Now let's review help and assist.
267
This synonym is used when supporting someone or making something easier.
268
She helped her coworker finish the task.
269
She assisted her coworker in finishing the task.
270
Notice here, the sentence structure is different because you assist someone in,
271
and then the gerund, your verb in ing, in finishing the task.
272
But if you simply use the noun, for example, the task, you can say she helped her coworker with the task.
273
She assisted her coworker with the task.
274
And using assisted instantly sounds more advanced and professional.
275
And learning these synonyms will help you understand natives.
276
Now let's review start and commence.
277
This is used when beginning something formally or officially.
278
You can say the event started at 9am.
279
Or to sound more advanced, the event commenced at 9am.
280
Of course, here, this is a verb, so you have to understand the sentence structure and know
281
when you need to conjugate the verb or understand what prepositions are used as well.
282
So you can use the lesson PDF to study the sentence structure.
283
Now, you can use this in a more metaphorical way and say,
284
I commence my day by watching a J -Force English lesson.
285
That's how you start your day.
286
If that's true, put that's right, that's right, put that's right in the comments.
287
Now let's review deal with and handle.
288
So notice the everyday expression is a two -part, a phrasal verb, to deal with.
289
But the more advanced synonym is just the verb, to handle.
290
And this is used when managing or taking care of a situation.
291
For example, she deals with customer complaints that is something
292
that she's responsible for she manages
293
so you can say she handles customer complaints to sound more
294
advanced she can handle herself she's dealing with stuff here's one
295
that will really make you sound advanced think of and devise devise and this is used when determining a plan or idea.
296
He thought of a new marketing strategy.
297
That's an everyday expression.
298
I certainly use that every day.
299
I only use the synonym when I want to sound more formal, professional, or advanced.
300
He devised a new marketing strategy.
301
I love that word, devise.
302
Let's review give in and yield.
303
This is used when stopping resistance or agreeing after initial opposition.
304
So you initially said no, but then you gave in and said yes.
305
She finally gave in to their demands.
306
So maybe you're learning the regular verb at the same time
307
and that's great the verb here is a phrasal verb to give in to someone
308
or something now the synonym she finally yielded to their demands and he just gave in let's review explain
309
and clarify so you can use clarify when you're making something easier to understand
310
or more precise you're providing more details to your explanation
311
so you can of course ask could you explain the instructions
312
but if you want the instructions to be more precise
313
or more detailed you can say can you clarify the instructions let's review finish
314
and finalize this is used when completing something fully
315
or making it officially complete they finished the report yesterday they finalized the report yesterday it's only slightly different
316
but it makes a big impact let's review modern
317
and contemporary contemporary this is used when describing something belonging to the present or recent times.
318
So we can use this in style, in look, in appearance.
319
For example, the house has a modern design.
320
In real estate terminology, they often say the house has a contemporary design.
321
And modern problems require modern solutions only contemporary art speaking of the house let's review family
322
and household so you can use household
323
when you're referring to people living together in one home there
324
are four people in her family there are four people in her household
325
so yes that can mean family but it means family living in her house.
326
So it's more precise than saying family.
327
Let's review boss and employer.
328
I absolutely use the word employer when I want to sound more official,
329
and this is used when referring to either the person or the company who hires and supervises you or workers in general.
330
She spoke to her boss about a raise.
331
Absolutely, you can say that, but you may say she spoke to her employer about a raise.
332
It makes it sound more official, more technical.
333
My employer wants a meeting.
334
Best boss I ever had.
335
Let's review successful and, I love this one, fruitful.
336
Fruitful.
337
That's fun to say.
338
Fruitful.
339
You can use fruitful when describing an effort or outcome
340

I love this word, feasible.
355
This is used when describing something that can be done or achieved.

359
Let's review choose and instantly sound more advanced with select, select.
360

361
So you can choose any topic for your essay to make
362
it sound more official you can select any topic for your essay now let's review look for
363
and seek seek is used when trying to find something
364
but usually something more official like resources
365
or a strategy you can say they're looking for new employees
366
but here because employees represents resources you can say they're seeking new employees.
367
Let's review show off a phrasal verb and exhibit, exhibit.
368
This is used when displaying something proudly.
369
The artist showed off her work.
370
The artist exhibited her work.
371
How about put off and the more formal term, postpone.
372
So put off is the phrasal verb used in everyday speech.
373
And then postpone sounds more official and formal.
374
And this is used when delaying something to a later time.
375
They put off the meeting until Monday.
376
They postponed the meeting until Monday.
377

Let's review find out a phrasal verb and discover.
384
This is used when learning something new.
385

It sounds more advanced to say she persisted even when it was hard.
396
And that's what you're doing with the English language.
397
Let's review get in touch.
398
You can replace all three words with contact.
399
And this is used when reaching out to someone.
400

Произношение, на которое стоит обратить внимание

Говорящий использует 41 сокращённых и редуцированных форм, например you're, you'll, don't. Произносите их коротко, так, как слышите.

  • Звуки «th»: strengthen /ˈstɹɛŋ(k)θən/, smoothly /ˈsmuːðli/
  • Звуки «sh» и «zh»: instruction /ɪnˈstɹʌkʃən/, extension /ɪkˈstɛnʃən/, presentation /ˌpɹɛzn̩ˈteɪʃn̩/, transition /tɹænˈzɪʃ.ən/, sharp /ʃɑɹp/
  • Длинные слова — следите за ударением: vocabulary /vəˈkæb.jə.lə.ɹi/, predominantly /pɹɪˈdɒmɪnəntli/, efficiency /ɪˈfɪʃ.ən.si/, eliminate /ɪˈlɪm.ɪ.neɪt/, explanation /ˌɛkspləˈneɪʃən/

Звуки, трудные для русскоязычных:

  • /w/ — губы округлены, это не /v/: workplace /ˈwɝkˌpleɪs/, wasteful /ˈweɪstfəl/
  • /h/ — лёгкий выдох, а не русское «х»: household /ˈhaʊshoʊld/, enhance /ɪnˈhæns/, helpful /ˈhɛlp.fl̩/, highlight /ˈhaɪˌlaɪt/, harmful /ˈhɑɹmfl̩/
  • Звонкие согласные в конце слова — не оглушайте их: verb /vɝb/, minimize /ˈmɪn.ɪˌmaɪz/, expertise /ˌɛkspɜːˈtiːz/, conclude /kənˈkluːd/, household /ˈhaʊshoʊld/

Как заниматься с этим видео

  1. Прослушайте всё видео один раз молча и выпишите незнакомые слова.
  2. Повторяйте предложение за предложением на обычной скорости, пока ваш ритм не совпадёт с ритмом говорящего.
  3. Запишите себя и сравните с оригиналом, обращая внимание на такие слова, как formal, verb, lesson.

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
