A good dictionary is an important tool. It will tell you not only what a word means but also how it is used. A dictionary needs to be printed again about every ten years. Languages develop and a good dictionary must show these new changes.
A new English dictionary will only tell you most people use the language today. It will not tell you what is right wrong. It may tell you the right time to use a word. If only people use a word, a dictionary will tell you this or not list it.
Every dictionary will tell you many interesting facts. If you type a word and the word is too long, look it up in your dictionary. All dictionaries show you to break a word. And they also show you how a word .
Every dictionary, of course, tells you what a word means. But some words, like “get” or “take”, may have lots of meanings. In some dictionaries, the main meanings are often listed first. In , the newest meanings are listed last. So before you use your dictionary, you should always the front part. This part explains how to use it.
Some dictionaries also show you where a word comes from. Do you know that the word “brand” (标记) comes from an old word? This old word means “to burn”. This is because hundreds of years ago people burned their names on tables or boats to show who them. They also burned their own names on their farm animals they would not be stolen.
Your dictionary also has a lot of other interesting facts in it. After you have learned to use a dictionary, it can become your best useful book.

We are living a fast life. It seems that everything has to be fast, for example, food, fast Internet, fast roads, fast money. Every day we try to get things done , but there are some moments that we have to slow down and enjoy our lives.
We are always every day. I have to work eight hours or more a day at my full-time job. When I get home, it’s always over seven o’clock. I make an effort(努力) to something. I try to find a bit of time for my hobby—writing. I hardly ever write and work weekends. Those are my days to try to recharge (休整)and reduce the stress from my work. I sleep on the sofa during the day, some beer in the open air or go out for a picnic if the weather is nice.
What I’m trying to say is this: if you don’t take some time to slow down once in a while(偶尔) and your life, it will pass you by. You can be unhealthy both in body and mind if you don’t take the time to relax. So this weekend, don’t make any . Just get up on Saturday morning your body says it’s time to get up. Make some coffee, step outside and get fresh morning air, turn on the radio and prepare yourself for nothing.
