Answer 1

Nowadays more and more students use dictionaries as study aids. Some think that it is better to use the e-dictionary. They consider that an e-dictionary is smart and cool to use as well as time-saving. Meanwhile, it has many other practical functions. But a printed dictionary is not so convenient to carry.

However, some others hold the opposite view. They think the printed dictionary has more entries which are complete, detailed with more examples while the e-dictionary provides limited information.

Personally I prefer the e-dictionary. First, it’s very handy and cute. Besides, it’s very practical and helpful. Not only is it a dictionary, it’s also a calculator, a calendar, and a timekeeper as well. It can even teach the learner how to pronounce a word. Above all, most entries of the e-dictionary are up to date.
