How to make sure you choose the right word? If you are going to use a word in your paper that you are not sure is correct, I suggest you test whether it is appropriate to use this word through the following points:

(1) Look it up in the dictionary to determine whether the correct meaning of the word is in line with the context.

At the same time, use the online thesaurus to search whether there is a synonym that is more popular and understandable than this word.

Does this word have multiple meanings? If this word is used in a sentence, will it affect the meaning of the whole sentence?

Has this word been repeated many times? If so, I suggest you delete it or replace it with synonyms.

2. Understand the true meaning and usage of words and use them correctly.

In order to get high marks in the paper, you must make sure that you know the meaning of every word and sentence and how to use it.

Try to find inappropriate words from the following examples:

The senator looked puzzled; He thought the president's jokes were funny.

If you choose confusion, congratulations on your choice! If you simply look it up in the dictionary, you will find that the label of this word is confusing or confusing. In this sentence, the author means that the Senate was amused by the president's jokes, and he thought the president's jokes were funny, not confusing.

Therefore, the correct sentence is as follows:

The senator has an interesting expression; He thought the president's jokes were funny.

3. Are the words you use concise enough?

Then choose complex words from the following examples:

The fact is wrong, and the teacher rejected this argument.

The complex words used in the above example are wrong. Did you find it? When querying thesaurus, compare several words related to the wrong meaning, including wrong, defective, inaccurate and forged. According to what the author wants to express, what the author really wants to express and point out is that the facts are biased. So you should choose false instead of error error.

So after modifying the above sentence, it should be like this:

The fact was flawed and the teacher rejected the argument.

It can be seen that we don't have to use those long, complicated and fancy words when writing papers, and simple words can also play a very good role.

4. Are the words used repetitive or conflicting in meaning?

Try to pick out meaningless (or repetitive) words from the following vocabulary?

I am attracted by this job because it makes others feel strong.

If the word you choose is feeling strong, congratulations on your correct answer. Empower means to give someone strength, and the latter means to feel strong. Therefore, when writing this sentence, you should omit feeling strong and empower someone to feel strong directly. Therefore, this sentence should look like the following after being corrected:

I am attracted by this work because it empowers others.

If you think this sentence is really too simple to convey the information completely, you can try to add some more meaningful details, for example, I am attracted by this job because it gives others the power to make positive changes.

5. Is a word used repeatedly?

Can you find out the words that are used too much from the following sentences?

This horse is very beautiful; She has black fur and graceful gait.

Obviously, very appears too many times in this sentence. It would be much better if it were rewritten as the following sentence:

This horse is very beautiful; She has black fur and elegant gait.

If what the author wants to express in this sentence is not only that the horse is beautiful, but that the beauty of the horse is incredible, he can use two different appropriate words, and the sentence is as follows:

This horse is very beautiful; She has shiny black fur and elegant gait.
