I think the dictionary is very essential for anyone learning a foreign language. When I was in high school, I used to use the dictionary books. When I went to the university, I used to the dictionary applications on my phone. Therefore, I learn English easier and more convenient. When I have new word, I will look it up in the dictionary to understand the meaning and the usage of the word. I think everyone should have the dictionary because it helps you a lot in learning a foreign language.

I often use a dictionary. I started using a dictionary at school for the English lessons. So that habit continued. I still use a dictionary when reading or writing something. Now I use a dictionary app in my phone which is quicker and easier. A dictionary is kind of a door to the world of language. Anyway, I always thank to the person who created a dictionary.

When I was a elementary student, faculty in school taught students how to look up a Chinese dictionary and assigned several homework to make us familiar to this skill. It was the time that i used a dictionary frequently. For now, thanks to the development of technology, it's convenient to look up a dictionary online or with some apps. I use it when reading journals, speaking to foreigners, and writing texts.
