The dictionary is a living teacher. Whenever you meet with an unfamiliar word or a new expression, you can look it up and get a clear explanation or illustration of the word or expression. Every student, whether in school or at home, is likely to have one copy at hand. Being convenient, inexpensive and full of information, the dictionary indeed is a great aid to language learners. The constant use of various dictionaries will help develop your language skills. The more you use them, the more skillful you will become in using them. Sooner or later,you will be so skilled that, for an unfamiliar word or a new expression you can quickly locate the page, scan the entry and find the exact information quickly. However, as a language learner, you should not depend too much on dictionaries. Basic language skills do not come from dictionaries, but from practice. Only through regular practice in listening, speaking, reading and writing can you understand and master the language.

the beggar and the miser one day, an old beggar went to the village. he knocked at the door of a rich man to beg for food. this was a big house and at the side was built a granary with a big padlock. the owner of the house was a miser and he was known for never helping anyone. 　　the beggar was aware of his reputation but still pleaded, "will you give me a bit of butter or milk?" 　　the miser said impatiently, "no! go away at once!" 　　"perhaps you can sweep out for me a bit of grain or beans," the hungry beggar continued. 　　"there isn't anything in my house!" 　　"how about a little bit of bread?" the beggar insisted. "only a mouthful of food and i will be very grateful." 　　"go away! i don't have bread!" 　　"how about some water? i am thirsty." 　　"i don't have water." 　　the beggar then said sadly to him, "my friend, why are you here? you should go to some kind-hearted folk to beg for food because you are poorer than anybody else 　　the miser in this story is really wealthy in a material sense, but he is extremely poor in a moral sense. rich people without compassion and conscience are not welcome in the society. they are likely to maintain temporary wealth but not everlasting wealth. so at the same time we feed our stomach, don't forget to feed our soul.
