Describe how dictionary and encyclopedia are helpful in learning english language. How would you inculcate habit of using dictionary among the learners.
Answers
Dictionaries and encyclopaedias can be referred to as storehouses of information and facts. They are more informative than any other source. Different volumes of encyclopaedias provide us with a host of information regarding different fields like history, geography, science, etc. When we look up for a particular word in the dictionary, we learn about its meaning, pronunciation, spelling as well as its usage. This helps in boosting our vocabulary. It is very important to inculcate the habit of using dictionary among today's learners who are always hooked to their mobile phones and computers like parasites. For this they must develop the habit of reading books. Once they come across some unknown word, they may look up for it in the dictionary. Parents should also forbid them from using their mobile phones.
