When you are reading something in English, you may often meet with a new word. What’s the best way to know it?
You may look it up in the English-Chinese dictionary. It will tell you a lot about the word: the pronunciation, the Chinese meaning and how to use the word. But how can you know where the word is thousands of English words? How to find it in the dictionary both quickly and correctly?
First, all the English words are arranged(安排) in the letter order. In the dictionary you can first see the words beginning with letter A, then B, C, D…. That means, if there are two words “desert” and “pull”, “desert” will be certainly before “pull”. Then if there are two words both beginning with the same letter, you may look at the second letter. Then the third, the fourth… For example, “pardon” is before “plough”, “judge” before “just”, etc.
Do you understand how to look up in the dictionary?
The dictionary will be your good friend. I hope you’ll use it as often as possible in your English study.

Several days ago，while I got online，my cousin’s QQ head popped out(弹出). We hadn’t seen each other for a few months，so I decided to start a talk with her. My cousin is studying in a college of our city. Her hobby is surfing the Internet. Every time I am on the computer. she is always online，listening to music or decorating her“personal space”. I like visiting her space. It’s creative(有创造力的)and modern. I can’t design such a colorful web page as hers.
When I read the sentences she sent to me，I noticed that the Chinese characters had been changed，but I could still guess their meanings. I took a strong interest in this type of new characters. Further watching made me realize that they added some common Chinese radicals (部首)to the original characters，making them more vivid(生动)，a little like Japanese. My cousin said this gives new life to the Chinese language and culture.
It is true that the Internet has reinvented our language，but I still can’t accept this new change. Some Chinese characters have meanings in the shapes；one shouldn’t superficially (浅薄地)change them by adding an additional radical. So I advised my cousin to change her new idea and use standard(标准的)characters to communicate. And she willingly accepted my advice.

My hometown used to be a quiet town. There were green hills and clean water. The air was fresh. People went around by bike or on foot.
But now it has become a modern town. There are many tall buildings and you can see wide roads everywhere. Many buses drive past our community every day. And many people have bought their own cars, so it's easy to travel around .
However, the changes in my hometown have also brought us a lot of trouble. For example, the water is not as clean as before .I think we should work together to make our environment much better.
