Avoiding the word "important"

Students usually use the word "important" so many times that they flood oral and written productions with this term.

This may occur because they don't realize they can paraphrase this expression by using words they already know.

Therefore, if you are a student, when you are about to use the expression "it's important", think of all these other expressions in order to paraphrase it:

It's essential, crucial, considerable, critical, decisive, determining, imperative, meaningful, necessary, substantial, and so on and on. More synonyms here!
