Overusing the word ‘very’ when talking can be boring for the person listening. For example:
“Yesterday, It was very hot, so I went to the park, but it was very crowded. There was a very big dog in the park and I was very scared when it ran by me. I started to feel very hungry so I decided to buy an ice-cream. The ice-cream I bought was very cold, but it tasted very bad. I think it was old. I tried to complain but the seller didn’t care. I was very angry! Unfortunately, I was very tired and I didn’t feel like arguing. On the way home I stopped in a cafe and drank a cold glass of lemonade. It was very good!”
