Making Your English Sound Interesting
The easiest way to make your English sound more interesting is to use “adverbs”.
An adverb is a word that describes how you do something. Many English adverbs end in “-ly” like “quickly”, “slowly” and “beautifully”.
Here are ten useful adverbs and examples of how to use them.
1. Accidentally (not meaning to do something)
“I accidentally used too much sugar in the cake, but it tasted much better!”
2. Annually (happening every year or each year)
“Annually we do about 50,000 blood tests”
3. Beautifully (done in a pretty way)
“She sings so beautifully.”
4. Briefly (for a short time)
“The patient’s heart stopped briefly but she survived the operation.”
5. Carefully (trying not to make a mistake)
“You should listen to your English teacher very carefully. He’s amazing.”
6. Daily (happening every day or each day)
“You must take your blood pressure daily and record it in this book.”
7. Especially (more than usual, in particular)
“This new medicine is designed especially for people who can’t take aspirin.”
8. Generally (usually, mostly)
“I generally dislike Indian food, but I like butter chicken curry.”
9. Immediately (straight away)
“If you feel a sharp pain in your chest, take this medicine immediately.”
10. Unfortunately (sadly, unluckily)
“We have several new treatments for lung cancer but unfortunately they are not available using Japanese National Health Insurance.”
