I have the habit of going through dictionary. I have an Oxford Advanced Learners Dictionary/ Longman Dictionary/ E-dictionary/ which I bought in last year.
2. Which kind of dictionary is useful?
It depends. For starters, an English-Chinese dictionary is a must. However, for advanced learners, it is better to use English-English dictionaries cuz through reading English explanation, people can get a keener understanding of the words he is looking up. Also, an English-english dictionary can help him differentiate the shades of meaning.
3. Do you think the dictionary is useful?
Yes, definitely. Dictionaries not only include explanations of words but also sample sentences about the word, which can enable us to know where we can use specific words. In this way, both our speaking and writing skills are honed. Also, dictionary helps me a lot when I am reading.
4. What are the benefits of using dictionary for kids?
Kids can use dictionary to learn words esp. when their parents are too busy to keep an eye on their study. Nowadays there are not only paper dictionaries but also electronic ones. With those electronic devices kids can be easily attracted by the amazing games or puzzles. It helps not only in the way of language acquisition but also interest development in study.
