Synonym Speaking

You would speak the sentence out loud (for both the “writing” and “speaking” examples), each time changing the vocabulary. Your practice would include speaking the following: 

“Writing” examples: 

1. “Comfort is really important while working, meaning it's much easier to be productive and efficient in smart casual wear like jeans and a polo shirt, as opposed to putting on a suit.” 

2. “Comfort is really important while working, meaning it's much easier to be productive and efficient in smart laid-back wear like jeans and a polo shirt, as opposed to putting on a suit.”  

“Speaking” examples: 

3. “For instance, huge tech companies like Google have a casual dress code for all employees, and the consensus is that this creates a more positive work environment.” 

4. “For instance, huge tech companies like Google have a relaxed dress code for all employees, and the consensus is that this creates a more positive work environment.” 

Not only does this drill the various vocabulary and meaning into your head, it also helps reinforce correct grammar patterns that you can use for your own writing and speaking.
