Vocabulary
Need your advice, thanks
Dear all,
I met a difficulty in English writing, I'd appreciate if you could give me some advice.
When I'm writing an english paper, the most difficult thing for me is to find one or more appropriate adjectives to describe a noun, or an adverb for an adverb. Besides the accurate use, I also hope to make my vocabulary diversified; for example, if I ask how to decribe the big loss of a firm, people may say " The firm is bearing high loss " , or "heavy loss".
So I'm wondering if there's any software or website that lists all the words used to decribe a certain word, with the statistic of using frecquency.
It would not be a synonym dictionary, but a tool provides relevant words that always present together with a certain one.
I'm looking forward for your advice. Thank you in advance.

You should purchase a cobuild dictionary that's on the market. However, as to which publisher is better, you should look into reviews on them and do your research before you make a purchase. )
