make my own thesaurus to improve my expressions - Sep. 21,2023

When I'm having online English conversation classes, I often find myself using the same words repeatedly. So, starting from yesterday, I decided to create my own thesaurus. I'll use ChatGPT and a thesaurus to record alternative words and expressions for the ones I frequently use, so I can refer back to them anytime. I write English diaries on a blog app called "note" every day. I'd like to start posting synonyms and related words for the words and expressions that caught my attention during today's lesson there.

I want to work on this diligently so that I can always look back on it and it becomes a record of my studies.
