1. Good
Instead of saying that something is good or very good, try to use more precise and interesting adjectives to describe things:
EX:
delicious/tasty food
an exciting/entertaining/thrilling movie
an absorbing/a fascinating/an informative book
a pleasant/an enjoyable trip
a skillful /talented/fine player
impressive/fine/superb acting
useful/helpful advice
* In conversation you can use words like great, wonderful, lovely (especially British English) and excellent.
2. interested / interesting / uninterested / disinterested / uninteresting
The opposite of interested is uninterested or not interested:
He is completely uninterested in politics.
I am not really interested in politics.
Disinterested means that you can be fair in judging a situation because you do not feel personally involved in it:
A solicitor can give you disinterested advice.
However, in speech it is sometimes used instead of uninterested, although this is thought to be incorrect.
The opposite of interesting can be uninteresting:
The food was dull and uninteresting.
It is more common to use a different word such as dull or boring.
