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 should come as no surprise to learn that people with wealthy ancestors tend to be better off in modern times as well.” 

2. “It should come as no surprise to learn that people with wealthy ascendents tend to be better off in modern times as well.”  

“Speaking” examples: 

3. “Doing research into ancestors us a great way of  understanding, and gaining a deeper appreciation of one's family.” 

4. “Doing research into ascendents us a great way of  understanding, and gaining a deeper appreciation of one's family.” 

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.
