Hi every one. I am very happy to be a member in this benefit forum. My language is limited and I am working too hard to improve it. Well, now I am trying to do something useful to help me in language.
How can I say a sentence a gain without changing the meaning. Can you give me all the substitutions, please
I like this picture. It is nice
can I say: I like this picture. It is cool
If not Give me alternatives for the word nice

OOOOH.I am very happy that I got an answer. Thanks Casiopea and Red5.
Can I go on asking you more questions:
I am very busy I will talk with you later
Can you give me other substitutions for the word ( busy )

Maybe you could say "I'm in the middle of something" instead of saying "busy". HTH.
