Stop Saying Very

Get 64 strong adjectives speaking cards for B1-B2 learners that help adult students stop saying "very" - freezing instead of very cold, exhausted instead of very tired, starving, furious, hilarious, gorgeous, baffled, stunning - and use those words naturally in conversations and stories about their own life.

• Learn 32 extreme adjectives with word cards that show the "very" phrase each one replaces (very hungry → absolutely starving), a simple meaning and a talk task about the student's own life: a day they were absolutely exhausted, a hilarious series, a gorgeous view, a hideous present, a packed place they avoid.
• Practise very or absolutely with sixteen pair cards: cold / freezing, hot / scorching, good / superb, big / huge, important / crucial, angry / livid and more, with one question for the normal adjective, one for the strong adjective and a follow-up task on every card, so students learn which intensifier goes with which word.
• Use strong adjectives in storytelling with sixteen B2 story cards: "Describe a time you were absolutely exhausted. What happened?", an embarrassing moment, terrible customer service, a cancelled plan, freezing rain, the best meal ever, a hotel that looked different online; the chip on every card names three adjectives (students use at least two naturally), selected cards add a teacher twist, and there is no model answer on the card - the student produces the language.
• Build longer answers with so ... that, such a ... and story phrases: two "Tell it well" slides show how to make adjectives stronger and how to build a story from start to finish.
