- Let's be honest, we all love the thesaurus! It helps us find those amazing new words we need in times of essay writing desperation - when we've repeated that ONE same word hundreds of times already! Here I discuss how to optimise your use of the thesaurus and avoid falling into a common pitfall of many students!!!

I feel I'm like the only one here qualified to pronounce the logo on your shirt. I'm a Norwegian/Icelandic studying Japanese. Suppose the vertical line with two perpendicular strokes is a Japanese character and not a lazy tremolo staff notation and you have ⅃ÐｷØ.. or something. Not that I think it means much, but fun anyhow.
good vid this is pretty helpful for me

It is best to use your intuition more like understanding what is a vocabulary word, and how they are defined, antonyms and synonyms. They can all be mixed up.
The only best and smart option is using your intuition versus the thesaurus.

This is a good website when you need to find specific vocabulary words, trying to find another word or a verb for your narrative. When it comes to good creative writing you can use compelling, bold, and words that appeals to readers if it is a narrative. Like you are narrating your own story of the transition from childhood to adulthood.
Thanks for the recommendation
