As language learners, it's important to use dictionaries. Paper dictionaries are often great choices for us. They lead us to think in a more exact way. However, with the rapid development of the Internet, many websites and apps offer us information about the language we are learning, so some language learners like online dictionaries better. Here is what some students think of the two kinds of dictionaries.
Lin Tao, 14 | I like to look up something in a paper dictionary better. Their explanations are so clear that I can understand them better. I don't think some online dictionaries are believable. There are many incorrect usages which can make us confused. |
Wang Lan, 15 | If we are not good at memorizing English words, we can look up their meanings online very soon. It helps us finish reading the English articles more smoothly. If we are good language learners, we can always learn more in a shorter time with an online dictionary. It saves much time. |
Meng Hao, 14 | My paper dictionary is a great friend for me. Whenever I don't know the meaning of a new word, I can learn it well by understanding the notes and the example sentences in the paper dictionary. |
Tian Xiao, 13 | I don't like carrying a heavy dictionary wherever I go. It's really convenient to learn a language with the help of an online dictionary. We don't need to spend much time looking up new words. Using an online dictionary makes a more effective learner. |
