INDEX

Studying descriptive expressions is the pinnacle of comprehensive vocabulary learning.

The English word for 'description' is 'description', and in Chinese characters it is 'to draw, to copy'.
In short, it is a detailed explanation as if copying a picture.
You might ask, 'How many times in life do we have to explain things like that?' But the truth is, most of our communication is description.


“I couldn’t sleep last night, I’m so tired I could die.”
Explain to your colleague why you look unwell.

“The food was spicy and bursting with flavor.”
I'm describing the taste of the food at the restaurant I went to yesterday to a friend who asks what it was like.

“The trim keeps coming out and it’s working well.
“If I only eat dairy products, my stomach gets bloated.”
When the doctor asks what brought you here, explain your symptoms.


All of this is description.
There are countless others besides these.
So, the standard for being good at English is whether you are good at describing things like this, and one of the ways to be good at English is to study the expressions that help you describe things like this.
〈Almost All Descriptive Expressions in English〉 is a book that contains expressions that are helpful for such descriptions.


Select essential topics and expressions to customize your description

To describe well, you need to know a wide range of expressions, from nouns that refer to objects and concepts, to adjectives that indicate their states, to verb phrases that indicate actions.
That's why studying descriptive expressions is said to be the pinnacle of comprehensive vocabulary learning.
But the scope is so vast and the number of expressions to know is so numerous that it can be overwhelming to know where to start.
〈Almost All Descriptive Expressions in English〉 presents the most frequently used descriptive topics and situations in people's daily lives, along with the necessary expressions.
If you know this much for sure, the symptoms of being speechless and suffering from cold heart will disappear.

A perfect image that reduces burden and adds visual interest.

"Almost All Descriptive Expressions in English" includes images that help you remember expressions you might be wondering, "How do you explain this in English?" by reducing the learning burden and adding visual interest.
Rather than feeling pressured to memorize everything, just reading and skimming through the pictures and expressions is already half the job.

How To Use provides an explanation of nuances and how to use them right away.

〈Almost Every Descriptive Expression in English〉 explains the nuances of individual expressions in detail.
In Korean, they all mean 'charismatic', but the nuances are subtly different: charismatic means 'having a charm that attracts others and inspires them', talismanic means 'having a feeling of not only being charismatic but also of giving good luck and warding off bad luck', and magnetic means 'having a charm that strongly attracts people like a magnet'.
If necessary, we provide these nuanced explanations so that you can choose the one that best suits your situation.
It also shows you how individual expressions are used in short sentences, conversations, and texts, so you can learn how to use them correctly.
