As far as I know, this method allows you to have a variety while maintaining accuracy
and limiting what you need to learn. I don’t need you to learn everything. I just need to
learn these things. These are simple structures, because there are no time, and no figure.
There are no adjectives or adverbs here. These are very simple. Let’s look at these
again:
The purchase of Honda increased slightly from…..to….
Honda sales grew slightly from nearly…to…..
Honda sales decreased substantially, falling from…to…
Sales of Yamaha rocketed.
Sales of Yamaha soared.
Sales of Yamaha increased substantially.
You don’t need to get creative, this is not poetry. This is a boring technical writing.
You need to recognize the verbs, and then you need to recognize the nouns, adverbs
and adjectives. Just use what I gave you, learn the simple words here, learn the simple
grammar and you will find that you have an incredible range of words and structures
just by using the combination of the basics I’ve mentioned above.
Other basic language:
A doubling means twice (10% à 20%)
A tripling means three times (10% à 30%)
Rocketed = soared = increased substantially/significantly/dramatically = plunged =
plummeted
Decrease = decline = fall = experience a decrease
