Comment:
Looking up dictionary is so convenient for me. You just key the keyboard then you are going to understand about what's the word means. And I like to use Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary. Because its definition is so clear , easy and it makes me understand how to use this word , I very like to use this dictionary. I have used this dictionary to do my English assignment. I feel great than I use electronic dictionary. I very thank to my CCLA professor. But I still have some confuse as like "identify" "know" "recognize" these similar word. I can't really understand. It make me depressed. Even there are "Usage note" in the Oxford dictionary , but it little difficult for me. I hope I will have English logical brain. (laughing)
