Evaluation:
Using color
and variety in your choice of words can yield a more interesting
evaluation or speech; one that is easier to follow and understand.
The words and phrases listed below can assist you. Please note
that not all the words are necessarily synonyms. A speaker must
choose his words carefully and know their context in relation
to the subject matter.
Make a list
of the words you most commonly use during evaluations. Then choose
replacement words. You will be surprised at what you find. Wording
that is colorful and varied can bring interest and clarity to
your evaluations and your presentations.
