11)   Strict 

Moderate strictness is needed for everyone. but it is also true that children do not love their tightly strict and unapproachable teachers. They say, "I don't like my strict teachers", "The teachers are too strict and ill-tempered" all the time. Here, I am introducing some alternatives for the word "strict". 


                           * Stringent

                          * Rigorous 

                          * Rigid

# Parijat is adroit at plying guitar. 

# Tuntuni is apt at darning socks. 




13) Nasty

Biting nails is a nasty habit. Similarly, repeating the same word all the time and sitting on the fence when it comes to achieve a marvelous vocab stock is also a bad practice. The word nasty, itself, offers you with some wonderful synonyms. Those are: 

 

                          * Uncouth 

                          * Haggish 

                          * Hard-featured

# Theodore's bizarre suit created a haggish appearance. 

# Despite being costly, the candle is hard-featured and spreads a bad smell. 




14) Talkative

                           * Loquacious

                           * Garrulous

                            * Assiduous 

                            * Sedulous 

                            *Diligent
