After knowing various sorts dictionary and their functions and usage provided in class,
as an English major student but without a real dictionary
i felt terribly ashamed.
In my experience of using dictionary
i simply jot down the vocabulary which i'm not familiar with, or look it up in my digital dictionary right away.(if i do bring it to class)
then write down the vocabuary and its chinese definition in my notebook.
but i found out that when i flip through the notebook after awhile
i may still remember the chinese meaning of the word, but not the exact usage. (especially the words which have similar definition in chinese, but quite different in English)
so i end up checking my digital dictionary again.
After trying some websites of online dictionary, ex. oxford, cambridge, alphaDictionary
i realized that if i do use dictionary properly by checking monolingual dictionary, and more than one source, i should get a more gerneral concept of the vocabulary, also enhence the impression toward the word while looking it up.
It is much more efficient than what i did before, even it takes a bit more time.
but i do understand the word from different aspects.
now i sort of feel the pleasure of looking up dictionary that the author mentioned about.
and i've learned alot in the class!
