The comment after using the online dictionaries
Before I have the CALL lesson, I have never known there are so many kinds of useful online dictionaries. After giving them all a try in class, I think the Oxford is suitable for me: an English learner. Why would I say that? It provides detailed definition to each vocabularies; moreover, there are at least two sentences in every one of them. As a non-native speaker who wants to learn English correctly, this kind of online dictionary does provides much help.
