高分范文1

More and more students prefer to use e-dictionaries nowadays due to their convenience and smartness．But as far as I am concerned，I'll choose a paper dictionary rather than an electronic one．

A paper dictionary has many advantages although it's considered heavy to carry and time-consuming．First of all，the information listed in a paper dictionary is more sufficient and accurate．The usage of a certain word is often explained in detail with several examples or even vivid pictures so that the user may have a better command of the word．On the contrary，most e-dictionaries fail to tell the users how to use a word correctly and properly．Secondly，a paper dictionary can be used for a long time once it's bought，for it doesn't depend on electricity to work．There are few things that are more annoying than finding that the batteries have run out when you reach for an e-dictionary．Last but not least，there can be a lot of mistakes in an e-dictionary while a paper one has been revised several times before its eventual publication．E-dictionaries also tend to use abbreviations a lot，which may cause those who have just started to learn the foreign language much confusion．

To sum up，I prefer using a paper dictionary to using a fashionable，electronic one．
