Hi! Today I would like to focus on a few words which will enrich your vocabulary and which you can use to avoid very. When you want to describe something as 
very… you can replace this word with another one, thus avoiding the annoying repetition. Below there is a list of frequently used words which you can easily learn.
- very old – ancient
- very strange – bizarre
- very worried – anxious
- very happy – jubilant
- very afraid – terrified
- very weak – feeble
- very ugly – hideous
- very serious – solemn
- very dry – parched

- very cold – freezing
- very angry – furious
- very neat – immaculate
- very eager – keen

Here is a complex sentence in which we avoid using very:
The man was very worried because he lost his very valuable objects in a very strange accident; now he is very angry because he cannot find his diamond collection, which was very beautiful and very bright indeed.
The man was anxious because he lost his precious objects in a bizzare accident; now he is furious because he cannot find his diamond collection, which was exquisite and dazzling indeed.
