二、阅读理解。
For many junior high school students, learning English can be a big challenge, especially coming across new words while they are reading. Now, the dictionary pen has become a popular and useful tool among them. It is small, light and easy to carry, so students can take it anywhere, such as to classrooms, libraries or even during trips.
Using a dictionary pen is quite simple. You just need to scan the unknown word with it, and it will show the word’s pronunciation, meaning, part of speech and example sentences in seconds. It saves much time compared to looking up words in a thick paper dictionary. Besides, many dictionary pens have functions like text translation, listening practice and reviewing words and expressions. They can help students improve their reading speed and skills, and also make self-study more efficient.
However, we should use the dictionary pen properly. It’s only a helper, not a replacement for our own thinking. We shouldn’t depend on it too much when doing English exercises. Instead, we can use it to check answers after thinking hard. In short, the dictionary pen is a great tool that can support our English learning if used in a right way.
