Today’ s English learner has a wide choice of dictionaries. There are ______36 with AmericanEnglish, with British English, with idioms or slang, and 37 with pictures. One of the most 38______dictionaries I have seen among many students is the 39______ electronic dictionary. All you have to do is to ______40 a word in your language and you can see it and 41______ it in English. That* s great, right? Well, I think it* s great, too…but only sometimes.
Bilingual electronic dictiooaries are fast and ______42 . They can be great 43 you are traveling and need information quickly. 44______ I am against electronic dictionaries and even bilingual 45______dictionaries in many cases. Let me explain.
When you reach an intermediate(中等的）level of English, you know 46 ______of the language to ask the meaning of certain things while using English. Translating between languages in your head ______47 time. You should be translating as little as possible and 48 ______in English as much as possible.

For example，Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press has good dictionaries for students and 51______ publishing houses do, too.
I also feel that paper dictionaries are better for studying than electronic dictionaries. True, 
they take longer to use. But, for some reason, the information you______ 52 seems to stay in your head longer. It may be______ 53 you are forced to spell the word in your head and therefore "see it" more clearly in your ______54 .
