Overusing simple vocabulary
Solution: Learn synonyms and vary your word choice (e.g., “important” → “crucial,” “significant”).
While it’s important to communicate clearly, relying on basic vocabulary can limit your ability to express complex ideas effectively. Using the same simple words repeatedly can make your speech sound monotonous and uninspired.
