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. “It is widely debated whether or not elementary school students should be subjected to monthly standardized exams in order to measure their academic achievement.” 

2. “It is widely debated whether or not elementary school students should be subjected to monthly standardized exams in order to measure their scholarly achievement.”  

“Speaking” examples: 

3. “For instance, my sister was never the academic child my parents expected her to be.” 

4. “For instance, my sister was never the intellectual child my parents expected her to be.” 

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.
