The dictionary is a living teacher. Whenever you meet with an unfamiliar word or a new expression, you can look it up and get a clear explanation or illustration of the word or expression.
    Every student, whether in school or at home, is likely to have one copy at hand. Being convenient, inexpensive and full of information, the dictionary indeed is a great aid to language learners. The constant use of various dictionaries will help develop your language skills. The more you use them, the more skillful you will become in using them. Sooner or later,you will be so skilled that, for an unfamiliar word or a new expression you can quickly locate the page, scan the entry and find the exact information quickly.
    However, as a language learner, you should not depend too much on dictionaries. Basic language skills do not come from dictionaries, but from practice. Only through regular practice in listening, speaking, reading and writing can you understand and master the language.
    字典是一個(gè)活老師。當(dāng)你遇到陌生的詞或新的表達(dá)時(shí)，你可以看清楚，并得到一個(gè)明確的解釋或說明的文字或表達(dá)。
    無論是在學(xué)校還是在家里，每個(gè)學(xué)生都有一份手。這本字典是方便、廉價(jià)和充分的信息，對(duì)語言學(xué)習(xí)者有很大幫助。不斷使用各種字典將有助于發(fā)展你的語言技能。你越是使用它們，你就越熟練使用它們。你遲早會(huì)如此熟練，對(duì)一個(gè)陌生的詞或新的表達(dá)方式，你可以快速定位頁面，掃描進(jìn)入，并找到準(zhǔn)確的信息迅速。
    然而，作為一個(gè)語言學(xué)習(xí)者，你不應(yīng)該過分依賴字典?；菊Z言技能不是來自字典，而是來自實(shí)踐。只有經(jīng)常在聽、說、讀、寫的練習(xí)中，你才能理解和掌握語言。
