Also, reading a wider range of things can help. When you find terms you are unfamiliar with, look them up.

Use a thesaurus on any word you find you use a lot. There can be some problems when you choose an inordinately vexing (extraordinarily frustrating/difficult) word or phrase, but it can let you choose a wider vocabulary.

Go through the now public domain book: English Synonyms and Antonyms by James Champlin Fernald

You can read it:
http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/28900
or listen to it:
... They have it on Librivox, but their site is acting odd. Lets see.

This book shows a lot of the minor differences in words that allow for a proper usage and differentiation of many common synonyms. For example, here is the entry for AIM:


AIM.
Synonyms:
aspiration, endeavor, intention, tendency, design, goal, mark, determination, inclination, object, end, intent, purpose,

The aim is the direction in which one shoots, or sometimes that which is aimed at. The mark is that at which one shoots; the goal, that toward which one runs. All alike indicate the direction of endeavor. The end is the point at which one expects or hopes to close his labors; the object, that which he would grasp as the reward of his labors. Aspiration, design, endeavor, purpose, referring to the mental acts by which the aim is attained, are often used as interchangeable with aim. Aspiration applies to what are viewed as noble aims; endeavor, design, intention, purpose, indifferently to the best or worst. Aspiration has less of decision than the other terms; one may aspire to an object, and yet lack the fixedness of purpose by which alone it can be attained. Purpose is stronger than intention. Design especially denotes the[27] adaptation of means to an end; endeavor refers to the exertions by which it is to be attained. One whose aims are worthy, whose aspirations are high, whose designs are wise, and whose purposes are steadfast, may hope to reach the goal of his ambition, and will surely win some object worthy of a life's endeavor. Compare AMBITION; DESIGN.


As you can see, this shows how the words are interconnected and which is appropriate for the goal you intend when using the word.
