English Vocabulary - [ Feelings ]

One of the main reasons students

find it hard to write a good essay is because of their poor vocabulary. Many do
not have a wide range of vocabulary with them and this has been a stumbling
block for them to get good grades for their essays. Having a wide range of
words or a vocabulary list is a boon for all those who aspire to write good
essays in their public school exams, be it local or foreign students.

So, I have posted some words which are associated with feelings. You can use
these words when writing your [story] type essay or the [ Descriptive ] type
essays. All the best!

One of the main reasons students find it hard to write a good essay is because
of their poor vocabulary. Many do not have a wide range of vocabulary with
them and this has been a stumbling block for them to get good grades for their
essays. Having a wide range of words or a vocabulary list is a boon for all those
who aspire to write good essays in their public school exams, be it local or
foreign students. One of the best ways is to read. Reading good novels,
magazine articles, articles or news in the local dailies or story books can help
improve your word power. In this post, I will give you some
words/phrases/sentences which you can use in your school essays.
