He has excelled himself - This means he has done extremely well; he is better than he was before, or he is usually.
She goes from strength to strength -This means she has become better and better; she is continuing her high level of success.
It's wicked - "wicked", apart from meaning evil or bad, can also mean "great" in slang (informal English)
Just using words like good, excellent, or even superb can be monotonous (lacking in variety), therefore we should widen our vocabulary and use different words. Words with similar meanings are called synonyms. A thesaurus is a dictionary of synonyms. If you use Microsoft Word, there is a thesaurus installed with the programme, all you need to do is just press "Ctrl" and "F7" at the same time, and a synonym function will either pop out, or appear on the right hand side. It is very useful and varies your writing a bit, so that it is interesting to your readers. I hope this is not too boring to read, if you have any suggestions, please feel free to e-mail me: robintheelf@gmail.com
