Words To Role Instead Of 'Important'

The starting fourth dimension postal service inwards this serial of "Words to piece of employment instead of ..." dealt alongside the overly used discussion "nice" (read most it here).

Today, I'll tackle that bane of every ESL teacher's existence, that discussion they ofttimes take away heed when helping students piece of employment on their oral exams or read when correcting essays, the i every educatee in addition to thence easily lets skid out when they can't retrieve of what else to say: important.

It's ever "this must live done because it's rattling important" or "saving the planet is extremely important" or "graduating from a proficient academy is rattling important these days."

Examiners mightiness live lenient the starting fourth dimension time they take away heed this word, simply imagine hearing it 5 times inwards answers to 6 questions asked? To seat it to a greater extent than mathematically, inwards a 10 to 12-minute exam where an exam candidate uses the discussion inwards v out of half dozen responses, the examiner hears the same discussion i time about every ii to ii in addition to a one-half minutes. Though it's perfectly natural to take away heed pronouns, demonstratives in addition to articles repeated, adjectives, verbs in addition to nouns must live varied if you're aiming for a high score.

So what tin live done to remedy the situation? Here are a few words which tin supplant the describing word 'important', depending on the context of course.
