Día 34 de 60 · B2 · Vocabulario
In formal writing and speaking, use more precise words: very important → essential or crucial; big → significant or considerable; good → beneficial or effective. Essential and crucial already mean very important, so don't say very essential.
Many learners repeat the words of the question, or use very important, big and good again and again. Paraphrasing shows a wider range of vocabulary and makes your ideas more precise.
