If you're writing an analytical/persuasive/argumentative essay, you might want to avoid words like amazing, wonderful, true, fantastic, etc., because they start to sound like empty filler words.
Think of words that really mean what you want. Is something amazing because it's effective? Efficient? Impressive? (and you'd go on to demonstrate with evidence why that adjective is an appropriate choice)
Your writing will sound more sophisticated if you avoid dramatic terms and adjectives, and instead just focus on saying what you mean in the most efficient manner.
