Miss Gao: Good afternoon, Anna. You look blue. What’s troubling you?(https://www.daowen.com)

Anna: Good afternoon, Miss Gao. You know, my classmates and I know a dictionary is a very important tool for us to learn English well. But we don’t know how to use it.

Miss Gao: Well, you can look up the meaning of an English word you see or hear and find the translation of a word in your language. You can also check the pronunciation and the spelling of a word.

Anna: Can we use it to learn grammar?

Miss Gao: Sure. You can check the parts of speech of a word, the plural form of a noun or the past tense of a verb. And you can also get to know the way in which some words are often used together.That is called collocation.

Anna: That’s great！ What else can we do with it?

Miss Gao: You can enlarge your vocabulary by finding the words with the similar or opposite meanings of a word. And you can find examples of the use of a word in its natural language.

Anna: Cool！ Thank you for your valuable suggestions, Miss Gao.

Miss Gao: I’m glad they are helpful to you.
