Emphatic Words

Often, we have a stronger way to say something:

bad
good
scary
sad
push
terrible
excellent
terrifying
tragic
shove

Make these sentences more expressive by changing the words in bold to something stronger:

1 Mary is a nice girl.
2 What a good book!
3 It’s an old temple.
4 He said loudly, “Help me!”
5 This is an interesting program.
6 The event was a success.
7 I’m hungry.
8 Our new office building is very big.
9 This little chip can hold 80 terabytes of data.
10 It’s surprising that your CEO can speak five languages fluently.
